What do I need to add my artist?
Before you add an artist, make sure you have this information handy. You will need your artist name and a genre picked out. The following information is not required, but is suggested: the artists real name, their birth date, the city, state and country of their birth, a bio and a picture of the artist. Also, make sure you read the
artist agreement because you will need to agree to it during the artist submission process. Once you have done all of this, you are ready to add your artist.

Do I have to own the music I'm submitting?
All music you submit you must either own or have written permission to use. You can submit music on behalf of an artist as long as you have permission. We listen to all tracks that are submitted and will delete songs using copy written works and will possibly delete the user and all associated artists as well.

How do I convert my cd to mp3s?
There are several programs available for free that will do this. Two that we recommend are
winamp and music match. For help on using these programs, please see their respective web sites. Also, please make sure all mp3s you submit are encoded at 128kbs-stereo or better.

How much will I be paid?
One nice thing about neumus is you set the price you earn for every track you submit. You can make $.25 or $100 per track. It's up to you.

When do I get paid?
Payment for the previous month is sent on the 20th of every month. Checks are only sent if the amount in your account is over $50. If you do not reach $50 in one month, the money you did earn is carried over to the next month.

How much money does neumus make?
For every song you sell through neumus, we have to pay credit card and bandwidth fees. To cover our costs of operating, we charge users twice what you earn per track. For example, let's say you wanted to earn $.16 for a track. neumus would then charge a user $.32 to download that track. These fees are quite low compared to traditional means of distribution such as cd distribution.

I've submitted an artist, but I can't find it on the site. What's up?
All content that is submitted for use on neumus is approved before it is listed on the site. We try to review all submissions in 7-10 days, but at times we get backed up and it takes us longer. Please wait two weeks before sending an email about your submission.
