The SongBrowser—A Better Way to Market your CD

If you're a musician with your own CD you want to promote it in the best possible way. Unfortunately, virtually all CD marketing sites include links to songs samples in either RealAudio™, QuickTime™, or Windows Media™ formats. When a user clicks on the link, one of two things happens: either the link downloads a file to your computer, which triggers a media player, or the media player plugin takes over the entire browser window.

Either way, the result is a distracting, ugly, and incomplete way to present your work. Even worse, you have no control over how your songs are presented because everying depends on how your visitor's computer is set up. Advertisements and links in RealPlayer™ and Windows Media Player™ may actually distract visitors away from your music, losing you sales.


The Activa SongBrowser is a serious step up for artists looking for a better way to promote their CDs. With the SongBrowser:

  • Your songs are presented in an integrated, cohesive window.
  • Your lyrics and notes can be included with each song
  • Your browser can have a custom interface, with your fonts, colors, etc.
  • Your browser can have custom images, including your CD cover.
  • Other custom elements (e.g. slideshows, animations) can be included.
  • Links (e.g. to your online purchase page) can be included.

Supporting the efforts of Independent Musicians everywhere
The SongBrowser is a sophisticated, customizable player that downloads songs as a visitor selects them, and begins playing after enough of the song has downloaded that it can be played without stuttering.

If you're serious about promoting your CD, you should have a custom SongBrowser created. You'll stand out from the crowd, and keep your visitors focused on YOUR work.
