New DJ Edna Feature — Anonymous Permits and Embedding

Last night I finished hooking up Anonymous Permits functionality into DJ Edna. This means that users of DJ Edna can now make some or all of their music publicly available to download, stream, and/or play. Along with this functionality, I’ve also added “embed code” on the track detail pages so that your fans can promote the music by putting it in their blogs, facebook, or myspace pages.

Here’s a couple of examples from theskullcranes.com:

I believe that embedded tracks like this represent the future of the “single”. Having artist chosen tracks appear in fans blogs and social media sites will eventually replace radio airplay as the preferred method of releasing songs. Especially if the RIAA succeeds in killing internet radio.
