All Music Library will be going through some enhancements for the coming new year. The first of which is already up - a new shopping cart that is directly within the site.

The previous cart was a PayPal integrated cart - which worked fine but didn't allow for discounts, freebies, bundle deals, promos, etc. My biggest pet peeve with that old cart - it would open a new window and then force the browser to re-size to full screen.

Well, those days are gone with the new cart. Not only that but having this new cart will allow me to integrate Google Checkout too!

Another thing I'm considering is providing downloadable demos without a watermark. I know that watermarks may be necessary to keep people from stealing music from the library, but I also know that they're annoying.

Why? Ultimately, I want to make sure that All Music Library is always moving in the direction that benefits the customers. Already we don't require memberships (I'm sure you have a MySpace, FaceBook, Twitter, Delicious, etc. accounts. Nobody wants more accounts.) We also provide the unlimited license agreement, but there's always more room to give.

I thought it would be a good idea to add some free stock images of music for anybody who wants to use them. They're great for background images, posters, and all that good stuff.

The 1 megapixel versions are free, just like the free sound effects. If you want the 4 megapixel images then it's $20 for the bunch (89 images so far)

You might have noticed a new sticker on the right menu of the main page that looks like this:

If you click on that sticker, it'll now take you to a page which lists our 10 newest royalty free music tracks. Some of these were created to fulfill requests that people have put in from time to time, while other music tracks are created to fill out the library.

I'll just take this opportunity to say that AML is not a large library and can't even begin to compete with other libraries in terms of quantity - many big guys are proud to boast having over 10,000 bazillion tracks!

You may have noticed that those libraries have a plethora of quantity, but a serious lack of quality. And we realize that you come here looking for music, and not looking to spend two hours panning through mud. Our site was designed specifically to make it quick and easy to get what you're looking for without all the fuss. Heck, we even have an unlimited license just to make it that much easier to work with.

Either way, be sure to bookmark that page and check back from time to time for our newest and freshest. And while you're at it, bookmark this blog too!
