Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good? What's this?

 I have been using Music Xray for years.  I recently started to review them again online because for the past 2 years that I have been paying them money to submit to different music professionals, they all give me the exact same answers as if that's what they are being paid to do!  I had a problem like this from a similar company out of the same state ( NewYork) ARLIVE.com who was paying A&R's who weren't actually looking to sign anyone, just collect there check to give a quick review of the couple seconds that they actually listened to!  I am beginning to think Music Xray is doing the exact same thing.   If you pay attention when signing up, you can register as a Listener, Artist, and or Music Professional which means, you can pay to submit to Atlantic Records and really be paying your next door neighbor who set up a profile as a A&R from Atlantic Records because Music Xray doesn't care because the receive monies when you submit your songs...  I am currently looking into a class action suit against Music Xray.  My attorney's are currently contacting A&R's that have had profiles on Music Xray from as far back as 2006 before anything is labeled official.   Do Not Give These People Your Money!

IM NOT SURE ABOUT THE ADMIN TEAM MIKE MCREEDY TALKA ABOUT DEFENDING HIS COMPANY, AS I HAVE SUBMITTED MANY A COMPLAINT AGINST MIPS FOR NOT ADVERTISING CORRECTLY OR BEING SPECIFIC IN THE LISTING , EXAMPLE IS I PLACED 2 SONGS WITH 2 COMPANIES WHO WRE SEEKING POP TRACKS, NOTHING IN PARTICUALR , HOWEVER AFTER THE SUBMISSION HAS TAKEN PLACE THEY REPLY WITH OH NO ITS NOT ALTERNATIVE ENOUGH OR ITS TOO DOWN TEMPO FOR OUR LABEL.THESE SPECIFICS ARE NOT NEVER HIGH LIGHTED IN THE ADVERT, SO ITS VERY DEICIVING BECAUSE YOUR THINKING ITS POP WHAT THEY SEEKING HOWEVER ITS MORE THAN THAT, ITS EASY TO TAKE YOUR MONEY THEN TALK ABOUT THEIR SPECIFICS AFTREWARDS..." IKE ITS NOT WE ARE SEEKING." '' OH HANG ON A MINUTE "....I THOUGHT YOU WAS ASKING FOR POP ? NOW YOUR SAYING ITS NOT WHAT YOUR SEEKING AFTERWARDS.

 

X RAY SHOULD MAKE ALL MIPS SPECIFY WHAT THEY ARE SEEKING IN THE ADVERT - LISTING SO WE ARE ALL ON THE SAME PAGE.THIS WOULD SAVE EVERYONE MONEY & TIME

 

POPEYE.

If you connect with any major a&r's that have profiles on xray they will tell you it's just a extra money thing. There is no intention on signing anyone! This same scam was ran by ARLive.com years ago until people started to catch on. Every a&r answer is the same stated the same way.. Meaning they don't have to type a response it's already there for him by music xray! I'm not a uninformed user of anything. I've been a music xray artist for years now. It takes you fall to learn how to walk, and I'm walking now! Like I stated, give away ya money if you want too!
