About Vye Music
Vye Music is an online application that runs in your browser and allows you to discover, stream, share and download millions of music tracks. The service is a meta-search engine, which means it collates results provided by other music engines, to provide a comprehensive music database.
Vye was designed with usability in mind, to be as light-weight and user-friendly as possible. The application runs from a single page, and uses AJAX with iframes to load new information and more music. You can browse the site as much as you like, and your music flow will not be interrupted.
Take the Vye Music Web Tour to learn more...
The interface comprises several powerful features, which you can learn more about from the webcast below. In short, however, Vye Music lets you stream full length tracks, share them with your friends and family over social networks, or with a direct link, discover new artists through its similar artists feature, create personal libraries of your favourite tracks, and play them as a list, and even download entire DRM-free music tracks.
Vye Music was created in late 2009 by online enterprise company VEXiS Media. Charles Allatt and VEXiS developed the website following a previous foray into music earlier in the year. The previous site: iZaRia.us was a modest success and imparted invaluable lessons in design and concept for use in Vye. The first iteration of Vye Music is what you see currently; plans for the future of Vye can be viewed at the VyeX section of this about page.

Get Featured
You've probably noticed Featured Music on the home page of Vye. But did you know you can get you or your band's music featured there entirely free. At Vye Music we want to help individual, unsigned and small-label artists work to more effectively disseminate their product. To have you and your music featured for a day, all you have to contact us with a little information about your band.

Below are some of the things you'll need before we can feature you. If you've got all that ready and prepared, head over to the Contact Us section, and express your interest. Do not include your MP3 files until they are requested via a reply email. We would, however, appreciate your blurb and links to your websites so that we can learn more about you or your band. If we decide to feature you, we'll contact you for your music.

A number of MP3 files of your music, which you will allow Vye Music to upload to its servers for the purposes of promotion. You must also also permit Vye's users to download this music freely through our platform.

A website, facebook page, myspace page or twitter, or else some other location for your new fans from Vye to see and hear more about you.

A short bio about the band/artist and each member. Focus on things musical users might be interested in, such as your: history, point of difference, preferred genres, artist influences, and what the band sounds like (in relation to other artists, that is). As an example take a look at the Featured Music section on Vye Music, or just contact us for more information.

You should also be prepared for one of our columnists or editors to write a short opinion-based paragraph at the bottom of the blurb you provide. Also note that Vye Music may edit the blurb you create, or else request more information from you.

Thanks for your interest in Vye's independent artist program. We look forward to helping spread the word about your work.
VyeX
Vye Music is by no means complete. We're already working on the next iteration at VEXiS Media. So what's coming? Well you can look forward to total Playlist support in the next edition of Vye, but more than that, you'll be able to build a catalogue of all your favourite music together in one place--accessible from anywhere with internet access!

But that's not all...

Streams will be a brand new way to experience music. Collaboratively build a music library with complete strangers, friends and the world as you chat in real-time and share your love of music with one another. Streams will exist until the last user leaves.

Vye Live is an even more exciting concept, allowing you to view and experience what other users are doing on Vye. Every time a song is downloaded, added to a playlist, saved to a library, streamed or shared, you'll know about it. Plus, you can track what your friends have been up to: what artists they've been listening to lately, and who they're following musically.

Which brings us to the best part of the future of music at Vye. With the social web getting bigger and bigger, Vye is jumping in too. You'll be able to follow the people whose tastes you enjoy, musically. With Friend Radio, you'll discover the tracks they love and expand your musical horizons, whilst Vye's own recommendation engine throws in suggestions of its own.

There will be more music than ever before, more inter-connectedness, and more functionality. You can get ready by signing up to the Vye mailing list on the home page of Vye Music.
