Encoding Your Tracks For Play In Itunes
Something I hear frequently from supervisors who I submit music to is that they want music that is properly encoded for play in Itunes. Many supervisors (and publishers) use Itunes as a way to organize tracks by song title, album name, genre and artist name for quick and easy access to find the type of music they're looking for. I hear this so often that I thougt I'd share with you how to properly encode your music. I suggest you encode all of your tracks before you pitch them to anybody in the industry. Some supervisors will tell you to do this before you submit to them, but many won't and will just assume that you know to do this. This is sort of like the digital age equivalent of providing contact information when submitting hard copies of your music.
Here's how to encode your songs properly for play in Itunes:
1) Open your track in Itunes
2) Right click on your track and go to "get info"
3) Go to the "info" page and fill out all relevant info. Make sure to include track name, artist name, album name and genre at a minimum.
That's it! This is very easy to do and you'll make the jobs of supervisors and publishers much easier and they'll love you for it! It will also be much easier for them to find your music and use it.
