No. FameCast is looking for Artists to submit original songs, performances, films, poems, etc. However, there are two exceptions. One being if the copyrighted work that you'd like to submit is in public domain, and two being if you, the Artist, has already secured and can provide proof of the necessary rights to perform the work for distribution on the web. For more information, please see the Terms and Conditions of Use.

Part of the must play list is making sure we have every song on the list ready to play. If we don't have it, we'll get it. It's as simple as that.

No, you cannot upload cover songs or songs with samples because of ownership issues. When you upload a song onto musicgorilla.com you are stating that you own the rights to that song. You can read more on this subject in the Artist Agreement. We strongly recommend that you copyright your music. Here is the link to the copyright office so that you can begin copyrighting your song right now. www.clickandcopyright.com.

If you want to make copies of, or re-record an existing record, tape or CD, you will probably need the permission of both the music publisher and the record label. A music publisher owns the song (that is, the words and music) and a record company owns the "sound recording" (that is, what you hear... the artist singing, the musicians playing, the entire production).

Posting Requests in the Binary group is particularly frowned upon, and these requests are likely to be ignored. The binary groups (alt.binaries.sounds.mp3 and the decade groups) are specifically intended to carry the binary posts (i.e. The MP3s themselves), and not requests. The exception to this is a "zero-file" included with the binary itself, which sometimes will include a request along within it. Other Info" would include a specific album version or other pertinent information.

Our level of preparation before your event ensures that this never happens. Our large database of songs from every era and genre guarantees that we will have the song for which you are looking. In the event that you have a request for a rare or "independent" song, bring it on CD and we'll play it.

The Central Coast DJ has a song library consisting of over 25,000 songs which encompasses the widest variety of hits from the 1940s to today, it's likely you may have a few obscure requests that are not in my repertoire. In this case, I will be more than happy to play your CD. As you're making your request list, simply indicate which songs you'll be providing. You can bring your CDs to me prior to the start of the event and I'll promptly return them to you at the end.

Beyond what you see on our music list, we have a master music library that contains more than 1 million songs, virtually everything popular from the Big Band Era to today's Top 40. So, if you don't see a particular selection, call us, there's a good chance that it's in our library.

Yes, and we will make sure that we get hold of it before the event - it fits in at just the right time so that it becomes part of your library of memories on your wedding day or event.

It is unlikely that we wouldn't have a request of yours in our extensive library, but if we don't we'll try to get it!

You'll have the option to "Tag" bands or songs you feel have potential so that each new song the band uploads will automatically appear on your page. You will also have the ability to write a comment for yourself, so that you remember what you liked about the song or artist, or to remind yourself to play it for an associate.

One would believe that with the multitude of karaoke versions of songs available, no two songs would be the same. However, this may occur. While not making it a requirement we suggest that if you wish to submit a song that is already listed that you wait at least a week before you submit your version.
