Seems like a scam
Every time I look for reviews of the site I see the exact same review posted by different names... "A great place for musicians to connect with industry professionals" seems to pop up a lot. Seriously, do a search for the words "industry professionals" or "opportunity". A lot of the reviews are almost word-for-word... Anyway, I've been a member for a little over a week I think and the longer I stay the more it reeks of scam. These "industry professionals" post saying they need music of whatever genre for whatever event, but that's all they'll tell you. Nothing like "we have a scene were a kid in a wheelchair is looking out a window. We need music in the style of '70s pop that conveys his feeling of jealousy and sadness." Instead, they say very little except "send your best songs". Really, they want everyone to submit a song (or more) and PAY for each submission. MusicXray charges an additional $10 because they need their cut from each submission. A few days later you miiiight get a response from the industry professional saying "it's a great song but not what we're looking for / it wasn't quite right." No constructive criticism, no notes about what didn't make it right. "We'll hold onto the song for a possible future project." Yeah, right... Then, about once a week, MusicXray will send an email and put in a notification on your account that you need to keep submitting to opportunities because one is bound to land the job. The first time I saw that notification I didn't think much of it. Then I saw the exact same notification a few days later and it seemed really suspicious. After the third one I understood... Really, they mean you need to keep submitting so they can keep making $10 per submission. Stay away from this site.
