I am a multi-genre independent artist who would like to get sync placements or be considered for other opportunities. My main genres are HIP-HOP and Reggae.

I have used Music Xray more than once and I think the service deserves a minus star, if that were even possible. I promise to never use them again. They want you to spend $10.00 to have your song rated by 5 (Music Industry Professionals) MIPs. This is even before they would allow you to submit it for an 'opportunity'.

For some songs, the 5 MIPs never even rate the song. In the picture below, you will see where only 3 MIPs gave a rating and that was paid for 2 years ago. I will not get a refund for that payment though. This is ridiculously poor service. Then for the opportunities that you submit to, sometimes no one ever responds. See the other picture where the status is pending after two years.

Other users have complained that some MIPs names were used for opportunities without their knowledge. That may explain the failure to even receive a response. I will reach out to those MIPs whose opportunities I purchased to determine if they were legit in the first place and give an update.

It seems artists are being ripped off all over the internet. There are companies in the music industry whose main purpose is to give artists false hopes that their music would be considered by industry professionals. If my music is reviewed and it is not good, fine I accept that. But don't charge us for the service, knowing fully well that you can't even deliver on a promise to have the music reviewed in the first place. Imagine for more than 720 days an MIP can't give a rating. Concerning the receipt, I don't have the e-mail after two years. But the pics are from my account with Music Xray. I couldn't possibly have them if I didn't place an order.

I use other services like Submithub and Modernbeats.com.
