Congrats to SFS artist, Michael Botte!!!

Hey Wild Dogs Radio!!!!

Soooo grateful for the #1 spot for my Incubus inspired modern rock tune "If I Asked You"!!!

The song’s themes of emotional intensity, existential questioning, and that blend of raw energy with more atmospheric, melodic sections are all hallmarks of the style of Incubus.

Overall, the song paints a picture of a relationship at a crossroads. It's filled with a mix of emotional pleading, confusion, and a quiet, almost resigned hope for understanding and reconciliation.

Hey Family,

If I may share some great news...

My producer (Bob Beals from Sound Foundation Studios) and I were so fortunate to walk away with the Bronze Award for Single of the Year for my Beatles inspired pop rock song "Soulfully Appreciating".

As a songwriter, I am supposed to be good with words but it's tough to express how much it means to be recognized for a particular piece of work.

The song has a story that was featured on the Thomathy Entertainment Network a while back. The short video link about the song is listed below.

Thank you for the LOVE, LIGHT, AND SUPPORT!

Hey Family,

💡Welcome to this week’s edition of “Just One Tip” where I post a “TIP” I have learned either through experimentation or from observing others smarter than me LOL!💡

This week is all about Meta Tagging your MP3's. I use a program called MP3 tag.

🔴 What is Meta Tagging/Metadata?
When you "meta tag" an MP3, you're essentially adding information about the audio file itself. This information, known as metadata, is embedded within the file and helps to identify and organize it. Here's a breakdown:

In the context of MP3s, Metadata includes details like:
Artist name, Song title, Album title, Track number, Genre, Release year, Album artwork, ISRC, UPC, etc...

🔴 Why is it Important (especially to the radio stations)?

Organization: Metadata allows you to easily organize and sort your music library.
Identification: It helps media players and streaming services display accurate information about the song.

Discoverability: Accurate metadata is crucial for online music platforms, ensuring that your music can be found and properly credited.

Royalty tracking: accurate metadata is particularly important for proper royalty payouts to the artist.

In essence, meta tagging an MP3 is like labeling a book with its title, author, and other relevant details, making it easier to find and understand.

So COOL!!!! As an ISSA Representative, I must ensure I am serving my community.

🙏Thank you, family! 🙏
