Last week it was announced that Pink Floyd’s catalogue would be unlocked in Spotify after ‘Wish You Were Here’ gets streamed 1 million times (that target was reached yesterday). It was a brilliant promotion to add to the already exciting news that another legendary band’s back catalogue would soon be available for streaming and so the story gained huge exposure across the music press.
For anyone who is not Pink Floyd, though, it’s very difficult to get your music discovered within Spotify’s vast catalogue, which at the end of 2012, was estimated at 20 million tracks. For artists and labels, it’s hard not to feel like your music or catalogue, are not just drops in the ocean, but this is where apps can come in.
One of the most important aspects of apps within the platform is that they allow for exploration and discovery. Apps provide the opportunity for labels to promote new content, showcase artists and, most importantly, highlight catalogue. In some cases, apps are becoming just another aspect of a new release campaign. Delete the scoop?

Grammar Rocks: These New Punctuation Rules Are fo' Realz The style guide—written in "artist-friendly" language because musicians are typically unfamiliar with metadata issues
PascaleMMM's curator insight,
June 11, 3:42 AM
I love it ! "We're trying to make sure people don't game the system by trying to jam artists into places they don't belong," said Bill Wilson, the music industry's digital grammarian—the founder of a hardcore-punk label who has full-sleeve tattoos on each arm and a passion for collecting pit bulls. Mr. Wilson, who talks a million miles an hour—usually as he extols the virtues of "metadata"—says he helped dream up the style guide shortly after taking the helm as NARM's vice president of digital strategy three years ago. Metadata, a term that is in increasing use, means data about data." Delete the scoop?
