It's also come to my ... http://secondtunes.com/2007/08/11/back-and-ready-for-action/ OK folks, I know I've been talking about these things for quite some time, so I'm happy to report that we've got some huge news! ALBUMS SUPPORT! That's right, guys! If you log into your account as an artist, you should see two brand-spanking-new buttons! "Add Album" and "Manage Albums". ... http://secondtunes.com/2007/05/30/updates/ OK, so I've been insanely busy touring with my real-life band, and have had to let registrations for SECONDtunes fall silent for about a month.  I apologize to artists that were anxious to start selling in-world ASAP, but duty calls.  I'm hoping in the next couple of months to set ... http://secondtunes.com/2007/04/16/back-in-action/ Things are progressing almost faster than I can keep up with them!  I've been pretty sick in RL over the past couple of weeks, thanks to too many night spent driving instead of sleeping, probably.  Anyway, there will be a major update to the vendor this week, and I wanted ... http://secondtunes.com/2007/02/06/rolling-rolling-rolling/ Everyone go check out the Ava Star this week, as we featured 8 performances by SECONDtunes artists in our ad!  We'll see how the next couple of weeks go, as far as whether this will be a regular thing or not, but for now one of the many benefits of ... http://secondtunes.com/2007/01/26/secondtunes-ad-in-the-ava-star/ OK, I'm working a bit on the backend today, and wanted to let everyone know what things are changing. At the request of more than one user, the MP3s that listeners download will have a filename containing the Artist Name and Title of the Song. You can test this by ... http://secondtunes.com/2007/01/22/fixeschanges/ So a lifelong dream of mine, to own and operate a record store, is about to come to fruition in Second Life.  The second phase of SECONDtunes is implementing a vendor/associates program that allows anyone and everyone to set up shop and sell the quality tunes of SL artists.  It ... http://secondtunes.com/2007/01/19/sweetlove-music/ So thanks to JueL and all the songs she's already selling on SECONDtunes, we worked out a bug that effects vendors that are selling more than 10 songs.  If you've got 11 or more songs listed, contact me in world ASAP for a fix, if not you can probably wait ... http://secondtunes.com/2007/01/17/working-it/ I'm out on the road in real-life, so updates will be slower and SL appearances fewer.  I noticed some duplicate songs in the database, and it raised (for me) an interesting dillema that I anticipate hearing about from artists:  "How do I delete a song?" This presents a problem, because if ... http://secondtunes.com/2007/01/13/update-to-song-manager/ We here at SECONDtunes would like to welcome the new artists to the fold!  We've added JueL Resistance, Julian Vesta, Ronnie Carr, and Spaceman Opus!  Hopes are high that once the first wave of artists comes in, gets comfortable with the product, and makes suggestions about how their listeners would ... http://secondtunes.com/2007/01/12/new-artists-questions-about-covers/
