Well, I feel as if I'm going to touch the third rail here. I see massive problems with this approach. I will concede to Brian the fact that he has spent the last fifteen years protecting the people on this site, and I admire that. But I, as someone fairly new here, find major problems. Brian:
1) Why should you be the one who "handpicks" whose songs should be submitted?
2) "It would require that they waive their fees"? Isn't this absolutely destroying their business model, whether you approve of it or not? The professionals on the site set their own fees (or credits, as they are referred to). Do you really think that they will agree to give free listens for the artists you pick out?
3) "It won't cost them a dime". Most certainly it will, if they agree to your terms. Neither Blazetrak, or anyone who works for them, will make a dime, much less a dollar, with your suggestions. Why would they agree to that?
I suggest that you let a few JPF members (which will include me) try them out, and wait for feedback. The odds are still the same as a lottery ticket, as a few posters on this board have already pointed out. Fact is, a few of us will pay for that lottery ticket, especially if it is music related.
