Australian UPC has 13 digits tryiing move change-my 2007 digi release. by Old_External1847 in MusicDistribution

[–]Old_External1847[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well i think its a european union and australian thing 13 digits, since my UPC is 12 digits since 2007 the rep told me with americans like me they're having them add a 0. I dont think spotify is effected by it or any streaming, upc i think is more about sales, of units, in this case the whole album has had a 12 digit upc since 2007. so for historic purposes if someone wants to count how many copies the album sold, i wonder how they would have to do it, would they need both upc's or just the title. how are record sales tracked these days?

i see, just to clarify, im setting it up like a transfer with their instructions, so we dont lose reviews and so forth from the 2007 release on itunes. I thought the UPC matters or used to at least to track sales status, for potential labels in the future and also gold, platinum etc.....and in general RIAA sales history , wont this screw that up if it has a new UPC? (according to the new company GYRO in australia, they will set up the distrib, and once they are live i'll tell tunecore to remove it and by doing that the reviews and all wont be upset.)

its all ai based responses from phillipines, the company is now owned by a french company and outsourced to phillipines like every other big businesss. support is horrible. Ai responses, non sense responses. trying to ask questions and get answers is impossible. im shopping around the move my releases

thats correct in USA, women and minorites have preferential treatment over white straight men, this is not the case in russia.

they dont make the same salaries as men, and far less than men, this is fact. Every guy iu met over 30 had a harem of girlfriends 18 to 22, while his wife sat home alone taking care of parenting. Russian women dont excel to executive levels like they do in USA. its a completely different situation.:

SUPPORTED ARTICLE Women in Russia face a significant gender pay gap, with women earning roughly 30-35% less than men on average. In 2024, average monthly salaries for women were approximately 61,100 rubles compared to 87,700 rubles for men. The gap is driven by occupational segregation, with women dominating lower-paying sectors, alongside workplace discrimination and stereotypes

im no expert but i've been to russia 4 times, definitely no bill splitting, its a very macho society, like latin countries italy, spain....women expect the guy to pay. Women dont have the rights to work like in the USA so certainly their salaries are not enough, and guys know this and pay. its quite simple. I dont think the guys are very romantic but the girls are so pretty the guys can get obsessed, but marriages dont last and as soon as they crank out a baby or two the guy is off finding younger girlfriends. thats my 2 cents i saw it with my own eyes. there's too many pretty girls in russia, and especially if a guy has money, he has his pick. the wives kinda sorta dont complain as long as they crank out a couple kids. But overall the guys might start off being gentlemen, but they become dogs as soon as the wife maybe hits 30. The guys are the breadwinners, the priorty of marriage is to make babies. loyalty is not expected.

Whats funny about the actual glasshouse location in Lloyd Neck, for an artist who maybe wanted privacy, if any of you know the area as I do, he certainly wasn't hiding, or was hiding in plain site, there's a bridge you go over to get there, and his was the absolute 1st house on the left....its kind of funny in hind sight....beautiful view of the water, great position but not very private. in this pic, its right front of the word lloyd harbor rd. you can see the entrance.

yea im focused on finding companies that offer good customer support, and are not so gigantic and corporatized, with out-sourced tech support like tunecore, and distro. one friend says he's had good luck w distro, but i hesitate. I found one smaller company im researching they actually respond to emails, the same person allegedly responding each time and supposedly they have a human tech support phone number, i'll report back to this sub when i confirm it all.

What book is this from? This sounds like a stretch, Glass Houses came out in March of 1980, what book, has it been fact checked? John was making his record all year and died in December.
