i try to send a few PMs to people that i've at least chatted briefly with, just telling them that i did a song, and i give them the url for the song too. it seems to work fairly well for when i did it.
just don't start advertising everything it's just a friendly shoutout for the song you did that way, you don't look like an ego-kid, but rather someone who just wants the favor returned by others reviewing your songs.
but yeah, definitely paste the url in there. it saves them the trouble of having to go searching for it on the audio review page or clicking you links under your name to see the song
hope that helps a little bit! good luck!

Yep, this is definately lame... I get more feedback on my music playing it with a mic turned on sitting on the speaker!
I don't see why one would have to beg people in PMs to get reviews...
Maybe you can e-mail me when the site gets revamped or something...
Till then there's not much point in trying to contribute... Good idea though...

Seriously, over the course of a day and a half, my tracks have been buried to page two. I start to wonder if I should have bothered... I'm sure other people feel the same, being that there are tracks without reviews on page 12!!
There was no review feature for the 1st two years of BandAMPs existance...
All the songs on page 12-14 are way before there was an option to critique songs...

However, this is a problem, and we're working to fix it — probably by having genres...

i dunno if you've left the site yet, but i hope you see this:
i'm not stooping to the point that i'm "begging" people for reviews, it was just a quick friendly shoutout to say that i had a song. and like i said the first time, i only sent it to people that i would consider myself to be decent friends with anyway, and as such, they were curious to know when my song would be posted.
the point is to be involved, so if you say that you would feel odd trying to send PMs to people b/c you don't konw them very well at all...
that's your fault
i think the gendres thing would work fine for this idea, that way there's a bigger chance that newer songs can get seen while at the top of the list for the gendre.
looking forward to the redesign, mud!
