Broadjam Newsletter Feb. 10, 2010


Broadjam News

One of the greatest advantages of being a Broadjam member is having such a large platform on which to showcase your music. Moreover, you're amongst thousands of other members who are just waiting to hear it - so just make sure that they can.

Once you're on your song edit page (by way of the floating menu bar at the bottom of your profile page), you'll notice a column on the right-hand side that reads "Status." For each of the songs you have activated, there will be an icon in the shape of a padlock under the "Status" column. If the padlock is open, that means that other members are able to look up your song and listen to it. If the padlock is closed, that means your song is invisible to others. This function can be turned on and off anytime you'd like by simply clicking on the padlock.

So, if you want more ears on your music, make sure it's unlocked!
