FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

LISTINGS

1. How can I update my company's information?
     If your company is not listed, first check the databases for a list of sections. If your listing belongs in one or more sections, note that in your E-mail. For the Artists database, see FAQ# 3.
2. How frequently are the databases updated?
    The 30+ databases are updated every week on a rolling basis, ie. 2-3 databases per week.
3. How can artists be listed in the Artists database?
    Artists in this database are listed in advertisements in the Musical America Directory. In the Directory, their names are shown in the Categorical Index of Advertisers and Alphabetical Index of Advertisers sections. These names are transferred at no extra charge to the Artists database on MusicalAmerica.com. Advertisers can update their rosters on this Web site at any time.
4. How can databases be purchased?
    Databases can be purchased right online by choosing Buy a List. Once you choose your search category, the first 3 results will appear along with the total number of listings in the database and the price.
5. What format do the lists come in?
    The lists are sent via E-mail as ASCII text (comma delimited) files. They can then be saved to your hard drive and opened on any computer and with any database software such as Excel or ACT.
6. Do we have CDs of the book or databases?
    Musical America does not publish any CDs. The reason for this is that the Web site can be updated frequently.
