Music XrayReviews of musicxray.com

What MusicXray professionals don't tell you after they don't select you is what they actually selected. On the opportunity they list there's never what song that they chose in the past that actually got placed with a submission. When a music professional rates your song, who are they, whats their track record/success/credentials.

They take the money and run and you'll never hear from them. Approach the companies listed directly, that way you'll become part of their network, but don't pay them.

Absolutely rubbish I actually think this company is fake !! Pay to send your music off nonsense

Scamming company. Just look at the bots and the comments, it says it all.

I don't know what all those suspicious-looking reviews are talking about -- the ones that say in broken English things like "loved it, very relaxing!" But I can tell you as a musician who long ago wanted placement with opportunities, that most of Music X-Ray's "opportunities" are garbage, if not outright scams. What you need to realize is that these "Music Industry Professionals" (MIPs) are getting paid by you to simply audition your song, and Music Xray takes a cut of each one of those payments. One supposedly has to go through a rigorous screening by Music Xray to become one of their MIPs -- I had a very detailed conversation with a very helpful Music Xray employee many years ago about their screening process, but I logged on for the first time in years to still see the same no-name opportunities as before. IMHO, the "opportunities" come in three types: 1. Pay to submit a song to a vague call for music. Most likely you will receive a generic "not what we're currently looking for." Did they really even listen? Who knows. Thanks for the money. Copy/paste straight from a current opportunity: "We will not be giving detailed feedback on submissions. Either we feel the song may fit the brief or it doesn’t. We apologize for not being able to give feedback beyond whether it fits or not, but the time constraints of the nature of these projects will not allow us the time to give in-depth feedback on the song." I'm not saying that doesn't make sense -- but it doesn't inspire confidence that you really got heard. Must be a common complaint, because another MIP writes: "[company name] ALWAYS listens to every second of every track submitted to us." 2. Pay to submit a song, and in return you'll receive praise, an acceptance... and a business pitch to spend more money. Hire me as your rep, or pay me more to put your song on my insignificant internet radio channel (unpaid), or whatever. In this case, the person probably still didn't listen to your song, but you just paid them for the "opportunity" for them to pitch their business to you and ask you for more money. To clarify: the ad said they were looking for songs, so you paid to send them one. But instead of paying you to use your "great" song, they are asking YOU to pay THEM to provide you some additional service. Must be nice to get paid to advertise your company. 3. The outright song thieves. I paid one guy, who I'm really showing restraint by not naming by name, to listen to my song and he sent me a licensing contract. It said if, in three years, he hadn't placed my songs, they would all revert back to me. Three years later, no money... but then YouTube pulled my original song down saying I was in copyright violation -- my OWN copyright. I figured it was this clown's doing, so I emailed him to point out our contract was void because he hadn't placed my song. Here's what he said, and yes, I saved the email from 7 years ago: "I've licensed one or two of your songs and I've added your tunes to my Omnicom and Getty Images catalogs so the agreement extends. I'll have a statement and payment in late August/Sept. Love your sound!" Needless to say, I never saw a penny, but by saying he had "added my tunes to" a catalog, he had technically fulfilled his end of the contract and now forever has publishing rights to 10 of my songs. I'm sure he never made any money off them, but it not only didn't cost him to steal them and put them in a file drawer, he got paid the original submission fee to steal them. Lastly, be aware that in addition to the $25 average submission fee, you have to first pay to get "diagnostics" run for every song you want to submit. I paid many times for that, and what I found was the "diagnostics" basically told me that -- surprise! -- my song sounded like the songs I myself had to put in the "sounds like" box from a dropdown list. Hmmmm. So valuable. Are there real opportunities on Music X-Ray? Maybe. They have "success stories" posted. Do I just suck as a songwriter and have "sour grapes"? Again, maybe. But the rejections aren't what soured me on Music X-Ray, though the generic responses sucked. What made me realize the whole thing felt scammy was the ACCEPTANCES... and I had about an 80% acceptance rate, which is way above the site's estimate. When those acceptances turned out to be just a pitch for me to send more money, or a guy stealing my songs with his clever contract wording, that's why I give MXR a one-star review and tell you to be careful. Think with your head, not your ego. And good luck. It's hard to get paid in music these days -- all the legit license people I used to know quit the biz 10 years ago.

Fake label executives on a fake website set up to scam you out of your money. It’s a good chance the executives were fired from the labels or went to work somewhere else.

This is a criminal enterprise. They take your money and give you absolutely nothing. In the rare instance that you actually wind up with an account balance, they never give you payout. I've been waiting for nearly 6 months for mine and have seen nothing. I they payout via PayPal so I know that it isn't hard for them to send money, they just don't want to because they are thieves.
