I have a few ways for you to get me music:
This is my preferred method of delivery.
This is not the kind of FTP that you can access via your web browser. YouÕll need a program like Cyberduck or Fetch.
ALWAYS put your music into sub-folders that remind me what the pitch is for, etcÉ if its not for a specific pitch then just note that you giving it to me on a general basisÉ its only because I am usually on so many projects at onceÉ the best way to make sure your songs get listened to is to put them in a folder with the following name format: MovieTitle_CompanyName_YourName
iGnition SECURE FTP: ftp.ignitionla.com
iGnition SECURE FTP: user: ignitionmx
iGnition SECURE FTP: password: music
*please note that when you drop something into my ftp, you will not be able to then read it... this is a security thing.. so you might get a 'failure' message- just ignore that- it just means your computer is trying to read what is on the ftp but canÕt (because itÕs secured)... I'll be able to see what you dropped in.
If the FTP proves to be a bust, then you can use YouSendIt. If you are not familiar with it- itÕs just a way to post your stuff to their space, and it automatically sends me a notice to then grab it.

If YouSendit proves to be a bust, then you can use my idisk. On a Mac, just open your finder, then pull down the ÒgoÓ menu, scroll down to ÔidiskÕ and then select Ôuse otherÕs public folder. At the prompt, the member name is drewsherrodÉ keep in mind that the idisk is not secure, so anyone else posting in it can grab what you have posted or even delete it.

Keep in mind that if you are representing artists, then CDÕs are OK, but if you are production music company, it is always best to send me data via hard drive, dvd, or ipod.
FORMATs: send music in 320bit MP3 and 48K 16bit AIFF for MAC ONLY
CDÕssssssss data CDÕs are fine for smaller amounts of music
DVDÕsssssss data DVDÕs are also ok
Hard Drives my preferred methodÉ
