BeatPick Blog on music licensing, creative commons music, gigs

finally a chinese version of BeatPick.com is available. We still need to fix a few sections but we’re getting there… thumbs up for Zhao, our translator.

A couple of weeks ago our  Futuro Disko  climbed to the top 10 electronic on Itunes with its track Circles of Life which features in its EP.
Dave Bernardi AKA Futuro Disko is a very talented producer  from Edinburgh and he currently run his own nightclub “Futuro”.

Congratulations Dave.

BeatPick.com has been blogged by channel 4. http://www.channel4.com/fourdocs/blog/index.jsp
They’re encouraging filmmakers uploading music to their FourDocs section to use BeatPick’s music.

Four Docs is a place to upload or download four minute documentaries. All films uploaded at Four Docs are distributed under the Creative Commons. Filmmakers can also enter various competitions.

Thanks to the Four Docs’ people for blogging us.

A few people asked to clarify what we are doing with the mini browser on the right. The idea is to offer a tool that can be embedded in your own blog or webpage as to offer a selection of free music from BeatPick.com.We are thinking to change the music every 15 days.
You can ask to have only particular genres of music, have it in spanish, italian or english and have music only and no writings. We’re also happy to try different formats.

The mini browser can be embedded by clicking “Add my Bitty Browser to your site…” Follow a few easy steps to customise size and few other options. You’ll get a simple code to copy and paste in your own website/blog.

there’s a new tool which is pretty handy: Bitty.com

We posted a demonstration. You can just embed BeatPick’s mini browser in your own webpage/blog by clicking on “add this little BeatPick.com browser to your page..” You’ll get to set a few options such as size , toolbar etc. etc. and you’ll  get a code to copy and paste in your website/blog.
It’s nice as we can update the music/graphic and it will show up in your mini browser automatically.
Feel free to ask customised bitty browsers with your preferred music.

Great tool. Thumbs up for Scott Matthews and its Bitty.com
