I'm not going to begin this review with 'SO' because this is actually a legitimate review. I submitted to to 6 opportunities on behalf of the artist I provide legal representation to. One was knocked back with feedback regarding the appropriateness has applicable to that opportunity-no harm no foul. Not smelling a rat yet. Nothing from 4 opportunities. Then submitted via Music x-ray to a Mr Woods. If you look at artists prior experience with these submissions over the past few years you will see that people have the same experience-you pretty much get word for word feedback-something trite about the production, the vocals, melody, but essentially just a precedent, pre determined response for anyone who submits ( that is my honest opinion). Lastly, the remaining 4 opportunities were not listened to within the stipulated 45 days. I contacted them. They then send you this message back-
Dear Artist,The music industry professional has listened to your song. The song you submitted...has been listened to by the industry professional... You submitted to the opportunity located here Unfortunately, while your song was considered for this opportunity, it has not been selected. While the industry professional did not choose your song for this opportunity, they did leave you the following message in regards to your submission:

Unfortunately, the MIP didn't listen to your song within 45 days so we'll be issuing you a credit for this submission. If you have questions, please contact: support.
So, they tell you its been listened to and rejected, and in the comments preceding, go on to tell you that they never actually listened to the song at all! As such they refund back to your music x-ray account and you have to request a payout, which we are still waiting for. Oh, and as an aside, I reported them to paypal and they refunded the submission made to Mr Woods as they agreed with my submission that it was 'a scam.' I would be happy to discuss music X-ray further with anyone should they require. In closing-don't know if their whole set up is dodgy, but that's been my experience. If nothing else their operations, interface, and communications are outdated, lack any transparency and are best avoided.
