Welcome to the NEW World Music Index

Formerly the International Music Market Index

We have upgraded our International Music Market Index to this great new site. We have moved all the pages across and edited a lot of the information to check links and update the content. However more improvments are planned - so please come back and keep an eye on our progress!

The World Music Market Index lists and evaluates music programmes, web building products and other tools needed by the 21st Century musician to sell music, promote his original songs, tell his fans about upcoming shows and manage his music business.

With tips and resources for songwriting, recording, audio equipment and graphic drawing, as well as web development and music tuition, the World Music Market Index will be the first place you come to for links and information to boost your market share.

The 'fun' of the 'search engine'?

Searching on the internet is not an easy past-time.

Type "sell cds online" into Google and you get 50,500,000 results on 5,050,000 pages.

Now, if you glance at each page of 10 listings at a rate of 10 seconds per page, not a lot of time considering you have to wait for the next page to download, you will take 841,660 minutes to get through them all. That is 14,027 hours or nearly 585 days non-stop.
Happy hunting.

A similar search for "original music" resulted in 202,000,000 listings.

Was the one we were hoping to find amongst that lot?

We don't know, we did not have 56,111 hours or over 6 years (without sleep) to search them all.

Now that is just a big put off!

NOTE:- results will vary.

Are you tired of searching the internet for elusive music programs or information for your music?

Then the World Music Market Index is the first place you will come to to find what you are needing.
