The Indie BibleReviews of indiebible.com

Used to actually be pretty useful back in the day. Felt like you were getting a real edge as an artist. Now it just feels outdated. Half the links I click either don’t work or lead nowhere, and the whole thing feels like it hasn’t been updated in years. The platform itself is clunky and hard to move through, and that PDF is brutal to deal with. I spend more time trying to figure out if something even works than actually getting anything out of it. Honestly, I’ve had way better luck just doing my own digging online. At least I know what I’m finding is current. For something that’s supposed to help working musicians, it just doesn’t keep up anymore.

I honestly don’t even know where to start with this. I purchased both the Ultimate Bundle and the Spotify Bible expecting something useful for a working musician. What I got instead was an outdated, poorly maintained product that feels like it hasn’t kept up with the industry in years. The database barely functions. It doesn’t load properly half the time, doesn’t save anything, and often won’t even let you log in. That alone makes it frustrating to use. But the bigger issue is the quality of the information. I reached out to over 50 playlist curators listed in their directory. 32 of them had no idea they were even included. Several told me they’ve never spoken to this company and asked to be removed. That completely undermines any claim of “quality” or “research.” On top of that, many of the playlists are inactive, low-quality, or clearly not worth submitting to. It feels like a lot of this is just scraped and repackaged rather than actually maintained. When I raised these issues, the response I received was dismissive and unprofessional. Instead of addressing the problems, they deflected, avoided the points, and eventually stopped engaging altogether. In today’s world, where you can get better, more current, and actually useful information instantly from modern tools, this product just doesn’t hold up. Save your money.

**UPDATE below I received the Indie Bible as a gift last Christmas. I have been able to access it one time only. I have called the number above and left a message as well as sent emails as I am unable to access my account. Their system is not recognizing my email and I have had no response from the company. I am updating my review. After I wrote the review above today, I got an immediate response as you can see below. I proceeded to e-mail the recipients as requested and heard back from them within a few hours. I was able to log in after they reset my log in info and now am able to use their online indie bible. Thank you Dave for your quick response and your help in this matter.

If you wish to acquire all three bundles, the total cost will be $389.90. A few years back, there was an option to obtain a hard copy. Currently, in pursuit of maximizing profits, Indie Bible has decided not to provide a physical copy of the book.

The Indie Bible staff are super helpful, just have a chat with them, so down to earth! Ask anything you want and they will assist. Cheers Indie Bible for all your help and have a great festive season :) Peter - Trophic Cascade

Their extreme bundle has everything you need & more! These people are the best!

I don't like to mention specific products when I do speaking engagements, but the Indie Bible is an exception. I highly recommend it to the indie music community and do so from firsthand experience. You can waste tons and tons of time on the world's largest search engine and still not get the results you want, OR you can use the Indie Bible and get detailed information for radio stations, venues, and a whole lot more. It's what I use for my music clients!

Solid resource for independent musicians. Highly recommend!
