Playlist placement
$2.99 a submission on Free. Included on every paid tier.
A submission puts your song in front of Adam for a playlist, not just a read. He listens to it himself — nothing is filtered by a number, because nothing here has one. Yes means you land on a featured-artist playlist the Professor builds and names, and you get a line in the Saturday letter that week.
It is never free because a human listens every time. Paid tiers get a monthly allowance; Free pays per song.
Straight answers
- Does he go easy on paying artists?
- No. Same read, same honesty. Paying buys more of his time, nothing else.
- Do I get a score?
- Not from the Professor. He cannot hear a record, so he does not put numbers on people's music — he reads the words and tells you what is there. Adam scores what he listens to himself, and that is the only number on this site.
- What does he actually hear?
- The words (transcribed), the tempo, the key, the energy, how loud it is, whether it clips, and where the sections change. If the transcription fails, he tells you and works from lyrics you paste. He never fakes it.
- Can I cancel?
- Any time, from Manage billing. You keep the tier until the month runs out, then you are back on Free with your songs intact.
- Who owns my music?
- You do. Uploads are private by default. Nothing goes public unless you submit it and Adam approves it.
