WireonFire.com

The Alternative to the Record Industry

by James GW Fisher - editor@positiveimagenews.com

An innovative new company, WireonFire.corn has launched a cutting edge commercial web environment, created especially to address the promotional and sales needs of the professional artist, band, or musician. It's an inventive marketplace for music with a streaming media network, a multimedia web site environment, a web-hosting service, and CD e-tail catalog.

WireonFire.corn is an unprecedented way of doing business for musicians, empowering artists to promote themselves worldwide. The Artist-driven system is designed to give the working musician access to all the features and services that record companies used to provide, while allowing them to retain control over their own music.

The WireonFire ‘system’ consolidates web and music business details into one monthly package. Web-hosting and wired sites are only the beginning, they also combine streaming audio and video, secure e-commerce, accounting, shipping, promotions, event calendar, fan-mail, media services and more. All of this is topped off by a network of web-radio stations that play streaming broadcasts of the artists music 24/ 7. It’s starting to sound like the Golden Age of Radio all over again.

The ‘wired’ web-sites are engineered in an ever expanding ‘Carousel’ designed to work in concert with each other and also share traffic with the ‘central’ home page. This cross-pollination is one of the more exciting aspects of the site both for the artist and the listener. A guest at the site moves seamlessly from artist to artist, CD to CD, able to listen, watch, reply and buy, yes with just one click.

A “Featured Artist Page” bannered from the home page rotates at regular intervals and highlights a members content by increasing their exposure and web station programming. The Artist’s Live Streaming Banners operate throughout the radio and web-site networks, insuring all of their artists excellent playtime and maximum exposure. Their sites incorporate lively colorful multimedia presentations built into every page, making an interactive experience with dynamic content on demand. The sites work in both narrow and broadband and in a variety of browsers and screen sizes. Try that with your average ‘streaming-site’.

As if that’s not enough, custom players are built for the artists that are emailable and not browser dependent. This item should put an end to those expensive promo packs that consume resources and never get listened to, you just send an Artist Player via e-mail and you know it got there and you know it could be heard. The player sits on the desktop and can be played anytime. With all the talk about empowerment and artist driven, for the working band this is where the rubber meets the road. There are also players embedded into each of the sites using the QuickTime plug-in.

So for bands and musicians looking to “get in the game” there is no better value then WireonFire.com! Listeners, for the best in free new music on the web go to WireonFire.corn or to a. No sign-ups, no cookies, no hassles, just free streaming web casts that work, so people can find the music they enjoy and want to own.
