Features and Modifications to Menu Layouts
Many new features have been added as per member
requests. Please check the menus for the feature you requested.
Help Menu and FAQ Added to UMO
A Help Page with links to special FAQ's has been added
to provide answers to some recurring questions that UMO web site users
have asked. A link to this Help page appears on the left side of most
major UMO pages. Please note- This help page and FAQ does not answer
music and music business questions. Answers to music business questions
will be provided in the members-only area. To
visit the new UMO Web Site Help Page, click here.
Music Samples Have been Upgraded
for Higher Quality Sound
As a result of improvements in real-time music sample
playback, we have upgraded the music samples from True-Speech to
RealAudio. To hear the new music audio
sample quality, click here.
New Membership Plans Eliminate Long
Waiting List and Provide the Primary Services that Artists Want
In response to member requests, we have packaged those services
that artists continually requested into a new self-service standard musician
membership plan. This Standard Plan is only $25 per year and allows artists to
update own promotion information instantly 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. In
addition, certain features which require UMO personnel to handle have now been
setup as separate upgrades. To read more about
your improved membership plans, click here.
UMO Provides Convenient Links for
Popular Artists
Due to popular demand UMO has included links and concert
schedule info for selected popular "mainstream" artists. Many fans of
Greenwich Village Music have stated that even though they like
"underground" music, there are many popular groups they
also enjoy. Therefore, it would be useful to be able to locate popular
artist concerts and music information from the UMO
Music site.
Upgrades to Simplify Access for Artists and Music Fans
The member and non-member menus have been combined and
simplified to provide easy cross-access between these services. Go to
any menu to check out their new layouts. Please note that the method of
security access
control has been modified slightly. If you have any problems or questions about
the new menus or anything else on UMO, please don't hesitate to email
us.
Village Photos are Added Randomly
Photos that are taken in Greenwich Village, at UMO Events, in Clubs, and
other public areas are provided on the UMO Web Site for our many visitors from around the
world. The pictures are intended to give web visitors a sense of the people and places
they may experience while visiting the Village and its surrounding areas. The photo
collection is updated randomly, usually in large groups and therefore from one visit to
the next, you may suddenly go from seeing no new photos to seeing a 20 or 30 new photos. Click here to see the latest photos available.

Learn about the Music Business from Professional Artists
and Industry Experts
Believe it or not, most artists give up before they ever have any serious success in
the music business. Why? Because, by the time they learn how the music business really
works they become too burned out by the business. If you don't want this to happen to you,
save a lifetime of anxiety by not repeating the mistakes of those who have gone before
you.
If you are planning a career in music, chances are, someone else has already learned
the right way to accomplish what you are trying to achieve. You can either spend years
reinventing the wheel or just visit the Music
Business Booklists or the Solo
Artist & Songwriters, or Bands
& Musicians pages.
If you just want to read about your favorite Major Artists then visit the Major Music Fan Booklists where you can find great
resources at deep discounts, while supporting new up-and-coming independent songwriters
and musicians. To read about the up-and-coming Village Artists visit the UMO Music Fan Pages.
