I'm not sure I see what you are seeing. Are you talking about this page: http://uplaya.com/songs/permissions ?
There are check boxes and when you uncheck them the songs won't appear in your widgets. It works for me!

bassplaya replied on September 09, 2009 22:54 to the question "why is this site so frustrating?" in uPlaya:

We're sorry for your frustration. The most common reason we see for this problem is when users have typos in their user name or password when they first sign up. We are adding some features in our next release to help prevent this from happening. In the meantime you can request a new password from support@uplaya.com or click the link to have your pw sent to you.

In order for your music to play in your widgets and on your profile page you must be a Premium Subscriber or enter at least two songs into one of our many music contests.

bassplaya replied on August 31, 2009 15:56 to the question "Glorious Opportunity To Shine." in uPlaya:

The first thing you should do is post your Auddy award winner widgets on all your social networking sites as proof that your song has high hit potential. Also, as a Premium Subscriber you can enter all your songs into the various music contests we currently are running and you will become elligible for further promotion through our PR group. Thanks for your question.

I checked with tech support and the best way to take care of having uploaded a song with No Title is click the word "(Edit)" next to the name of the song in your artist profile and this will take you to a page where you can edit all the aspects of a song including the title.

bassplaya replied on July 19, 2009 15:33 to the problem "i did it again!" in uPlaya:

Hi Rich, We will take care of deleting the "No Title" song you recently uploaded on Monday. Regarding your other question. As a Premium member your songs will play in widgets and will appear on other uPlaya applications such as Facebook and iPhone apps, quizzes and other games as well as on your profile page for each song (e.g. http://uplaya.com/songs/10438/info). We will also soon be adding Featured artist on uPlaya and as a Premium member you are eligible for further promotion through our many partners.

bassplaya replied on July 14, 2009 21:49 to the question "How rare is it to go platinum?" in uPlaya:

The best analogy I can think of is how Google works in analyzing web sites . If you think of uPlaya like Google, which uses algorithms, compared with Yahoo where people rated websites for their relevancy to your searches. There are many algorithms at work in the uPlaya Music Universe that constantly learn from music being produced and provide the artist feedback on their music, and how well it is likely to appeal to human's musical ear. As a musician you already know that certain chords sound pleasing the the ear while others do not. These are constants among all genres, cultures and languages and it is these kinds of underlying patterns that Hit Song Science and the Music Universe use to analyze an artist's music. I hope this helps!

bassplaya replied on June 30, 2009 14:14 to the question "i have lyrics but no music to them can i still put them on here?" in uPlaya:

Hi and thanks for writing. Our technology does not analyze lyrics separate from the music and so you won't get feedback on them specifically. It is probably still worth setting up an artist account and listing yourself as a songwriter to help you connect with other artists who are looking for lyricists to work with.

bassplaya replied on June 28, 2009 16:16 to the problem "How can I cancel account and remove info?" in uPlaya:

We can cancel your account manually. Soon we will add the ability for a user to cancel their own account since this is a request we have heard before. Thanks for your interest in uPlaya.

bassplaya replied on June 25, 2009 23:53 to the question "How rare is it to go platinum?" in uPlaya:

Getting a Platinum simply means that the underlying musical patterns of your song is similar to music that has been popular for a long time. It is not a linear scale and you can't really compare your scores to other artists who have uploaded songs.

bassplaya replied on June 14, 2009 15:45 to the question "Detailed Reports" in uPlaya:

uPlaya will soon be offering more detailed song reports for all members. We will be providing artists more information about their songs including, among other things, the hit song clusters that your songs are close to in the Music Universe and similar non-hit songs that are nearby.

bassplaya replied on June 13, 2009 15:53 to the question "General uplaya information" in uPlaya:

You cannot delete your tracks but you can decide which ones are made public in your widgets in Music Management.

bassplaya replied on June 13, 2009 15:51 to the question "General uplaya information" in uPlaya:

Check out uPlaya.com now! Songs by Premium uPlaya Artists now play in their widgets. All you need to do is sign up for a subscription.

bassplaya replied on May 19, 2009 20:52 to the question "Making Money!" in uPlaya:

We will be launching the SuperNova Contest next week and we hope to have at least one music and songwriting competition running every month.

bassplaya replied on May 18, 2009 19:06 to the question "Making Money!" in uPlaya:

Thanks for your question and congratulations on getting Platinum awards! Here are some of the ways this can help you sell more music and make money. First, Auddy award winning songs get special widgets that help you promote them to your fans and, through which, fans can purchase your music if it is available on iTunes or Amazon, Second, your music will reach a wider audience by virtue of having received a Platinum Auddy as these songs will appear more frequently in uPlaya Music Universe channels such as quizzes, widgets, internet radio and itunes plugins, Third, uPlaya Premium subscribers can submit their Auddy Award-winning songs to contests, and winners receive extra promotion and exposure along with other prizes, and Fourth, award-winning songs are reviewed by the staff of uPlaya Records for consideration for inclusion in uPlaya Records releases.

When you upload songs to uPlaya you always maintain rights to perform the music and sign with other record labels as "The Deal" is a non-exclusive agreement.

If you do not have a record contract and are interested in more information about uPlaya records, please contact us at info@uplaya.com.

bassplaya replied on May 18, 2009 18:17 to the question "What happens if I want to check a different mix of a song?" in uPlaya:

The best way to control which version plays in widgets and other apps is on the Music Management screen. You can check which mix version you want to make available to play in your widgets. Since uPlaya's Hit Song Science scores are sensitive to different mixes producers use it to fine tune tracks before releasing. You should test the results with your music and let us know how it goes.

bassplaya replied on May 18, 2009 18:11 to the idea "How to change the track order of an album?" in uPlaya:

Yes! This feature will be added in a future update. Thank you for your suggestion.
