I just wanted to compliment you on your wonderful service. I was amazed to find out that the release we did for CoffeeHouseMusic.com a few months back through mi2n.com has just made it into the Nov. 22nd issue of Billboard Magazine (page 47). I know that, in this business, people do a lot of wonderful things to help artists get with exposure. Most of the time it's done with out a thank you or a pat on the back. I just wanted to be one of the few to actually take the time and give you a pat on the back and let you know that your services are second to none.

Thank you for your fantastic service. So far, Mi2N.com is among the best
services out on the market delivering music industry news in which I have
come across. You really have put together a site that is extremely
informative, and useful. I applaud you in these times where key information
is paramount to success. Awesome job!

I just wanted to thank you and everyone at mi2n for all your/their hard work. I'm a Marketing/Music Business student at Anderson University, and through all the classes I've been through these past years, some of the info you guys provide has been the most useful. My school also has a record label (the first student run in the country...we're very proud :) ), and the resources provided in the newsletters has helped us grow in ways we never would have considered. So, more times over, thank you so much.

"One of the most prominent of these is Music Industry News Network
http://www.mi2n.com/, a site that allows you to submit press
releases for free. It will post your full release on its site and
send a brief description of it to thousands of industry folks
through one of its many newsletters (along with the descriptions
of many other press release submissions).
"It's a fast and easy way to get exposure. Which makes it a
fantastic opportunity. But like the dangers of e-mail (which I
discussed in my last two columns), it's easy to misuse the
opportunity and brand yourself as a music promotion newbie."

"Playing the heavy didn't go over so well with Kevin Carmony, president
of TrueVerse Records. He sent an e-mail Sunday to friends calling for
a boycott of Universal artists and ventures. Within 24 hours, it had
been dubbed a press release by the Music Industry News Network (Mi2N)
and forwarded to hundreds of industry insiders."

Thank you for getting to that so quickly. The responses are coming in quickly, and if we get too many too fast, we may have to pull it for awhile, to give the band time to audition the ones that have applied. You are wonderful, and I love this site! I have passed it on all over!

If anyone is not aware of Tag It's network of newsletters, you should be - From what I have seen, Eric and his company are as industrious as they come in getting information out to the music industry, including strong support of and attention to indie artists.
Jon Sobel, SIMA
I ran a press release about my music business, Raptor Entertainment Group several weeks ago, and have received anywhere from 35-40 responses. I have already gotten 8-10 CD/cassette packages from artists literally around the world. I have even offered contracts to three artists, with an additional 8-10 expected to be offered by the end of this month.
If anyone has any doubts about the authenticity and incredible honesty of Eric de Fontenay and his entire staff, take it from me, they are great! I have even asked questions of a business nature of Eric, and have received timely and informative responses. Thanks Eric and all at Mi2N.com
