hello @brian
today i was doing some Research for some of my artist,
and i came to this conclusion about jamroom. the idea is create a module for jamroom called EPK (Electronic Press Kit) for artist the want to send their work to radios station etc. this module will generate a page or email PDF, or private url, with artist song release or album release with his information for example artist name, bio, song release information, or album information youtube videos links with thumbs nails, soundcloud url, song track from the artist profile page. or download link only for the person who is receiving the email from jamroom system. this will help a lot of artist, all the media i know like radio station television need EPK in order for them to check artist work. and the will not received anything the is not very well edited and many artist paid $100 dollars to generate a pdf file for they work, if jamroom can generare a file or link or email format will all the artist information this will be a good module. and will give a lot more value to jamroom system. (my opinion) I would love to make it but i have a lot on my plate, with the android system i want to develop. and i cant maintain so many stuff with a small team. and this will help to all the community.

if you think this will not work for jamroom and you know someone the want to make this module i would love to paid for the development

Have you got an example EPK in PDF form I could look at? Something you think is a good example of an EPK?

this is the best i can find using building modules in jamroom
Artist Bio
Social Media
Song Releases (Audio Module)(some times download need to be enable when sending to a private email.)
Photos (3 to 6)images
Soundcloud
JR YouTube
Blogs News

You have two type of EPK

Song EPK Release. This will include single track information
Artist EPK Release This will include everything the artist have

We had an EPK back in JR3/4 days and I'm not sure it was used that much. Also, this is the first enquiry we've had since JR5/6.
All that's needed for this is an EPK template or SiteBuilt page then a module to turn this (or any) page into a PDF
Is there an 'Instrustry Standard' EPK? If so build a template to replicate that. Otherwise, everyone will have their own ideas about it.

Hello @paul

Yes epk.jpg is the standard the any multimedia outlet will received.

If there is not a demand on jamroom community then the is no point on using resources on it.

I have a big list of artist the use this type of epk to send their music to gig like tv show, radios, blogs, PR companies,

I guess i will try to do make it in the future, for now my friend and I we are full of work. May be other people can see and comment if there is something they would like. You gave me an approach how to build it. 😀

Like Paul said - we had an EPK module for JR4 that was used very, very minimally - in this day and age when almost every artists has a WEBSITE, an EPK offers minimal value.

one thing many bands ask me is if they had a way to embed widgets from there other sites on the page they create on jamroom.
sort of like how we used to do on myspace back in the day and then they could use the page they create on jamroom as a one stop shop for everything they have done. i tell them we have soundcloud and youtube but you know they always want more they have reverbnation and bandcamp widgets they want to keep gaining stats on those so thats why they want to embed them

... absolut, i still agree.

- https://bandcamp.com/
- https://hearthis.at/
- https://www.reverbnation.com/
- https://www.mixcloud.com/
- https://www.facebook.com Bandpages and concerts

It would be awesome, if there is a way, to embed or indecreat them to Jamroom - so that only Jamroom is for the artist the only homepage.

thx

Actually I was playing with the page creator module last night and think this might be possible

I guess a band can place all the widgets and info on that page and use it as the epk or atleast a place with all the bands links n info similar to a blog

But then again it will probably be a nightmare trying to explain how to use it that way for the bands I don't know il try it anyway
