I saw it first on Kat’s blog.  Then on Brody‘s.  A little music player embedded into a blog post. 

At the bottom right of the player, the word “options.” Clicking there offered me the choice to embed that little player on my website.  Anyone seeing it there would see the same little “options” button and could also choose to post that little sucker on their site.  And on and on and on…

In the business we call that “distribution.”

No, it’s not monetized…yet.  No one makes a cent when the music in that player gets passed around the internet.  But is making money the only reason an artist or label wants his/it’s music to spread?

Ok, a bit idealistic maybe.  So, if you want to spread your music and make money too, just put the url of your on-line store in the song’s description.  That description can be read by anyone clicking from that little player posted in cyberspace to your song’s home on iJigg.com. Sure, it’s not pay per play, but it’s free play with the chance to be paid.

And, hey, some of something is better than none of something right?  Get iJiggy then.

Here’s all the music from my new “One Night In Knoxville” disc.  iJiggable.

Oh, and that number on each player?  That’s the number of times that song has ben embedded by someone other than me, somewhere other than here.  Remarkable.

And songs that get embedded the most rise to the top of the “popular” chart on iJigg’s home page.  Which gets them listened to and embedded even more.  ANd, time will tell, might make someone some cash eventually.  We’ll see.
