[Fmpro] New FM Network submission changes

[Mark Northam]

Hi Fletcher -

Thanks for the comments. We tried to create options for people in all
different types of scenarios - certainly if you submit more than 2 tracks
per month for jobs that use SubmitDIRECT, the $11.95/month (or $9.27 per
month if you do an annual $139 membership where you get 15 months for the
price of 12) makes sense.

The choice to make SubmitDIRECT the exclusive, or an optional method for
each job is completely up to the job poster based on how they want to
receive music submissions.

Also, one of the main benefits requested by music supervisors, filmmakers
and others that we addressed when building the SubmitDIRECT technology was
to create a single, central place where job posters could listen to music
submissions quickly without having to hop all over the web and deal with a
myriad of different audio file types and delivery methods on different
websites - a time consuming process for some.

Thanks again for the feedback and comments -

Best,

Mark Northam
