  I think this is a great idea! It'll be important to have a strong community element so if something is good it gets recognized as good -- and the other way around. Also, classification will be important...what's good for one thing might be bad for another. If you can start by lining up a couple of advertisers ready to give money away you'll be able to attract a lot of submissions. From there, it's just a question of organizing the content, making it easy for an advertiser to find what they're looking for (tags, genres, comments, ratings, etc.), and then promoting the site; good luck!

  Rumblefish is a company doing music branding using the model you describe. You may want to check out their website at www.rumblefish.com to see what they are doing.
  
  Also, Inc. Magazine did an article about them a few years ago http://www.inc.com/magazine/20050501/rumblefish.html and I believe there have been several articles in other publications since then about Rumblefish specifically and sonic branding specifically.

  Hi KSchuetz333. I have written and recorded and sold a couple of commercials. I worked with a professional video company who gave me and my writing capabilities a shot. I came up with two commercials for Children’s Hospital in 1991 both of which were accepted but only one was used. I was paid 10,000. What a great feeling it was to hear your own music and lyrics on TV radio for 8 years. I also designed one jingle for McDonald's, but they said I would have to be hired to their advertizing staff before they would even listen to it. I never drove down to corporate and my MD's song is still the best thing that might have ever hit their consumer’s ears. I just designed a jingle for Century 21 and called up the local district advertizing manager. I laid it on him and he loved it. He will pass it on to corporate in NJ.
  I have been told that I am a one out of one song writer. It is hard to sell your idea I agree because most companies have in store advertizing talent that is hired to do that work. Just try and speak to that department. An advertizing gentleman had me come to h…moreis office one day. He showed me walls of library music, but he said, "Sandy can you write me more of that original stuff you just did. I wasn't going to do it for free! I asked him to hire me for a particular job and I'll do my best for that job. He gave me an assignment for Green Bay's Stadium View Bar, Lamb Field. I even met with the owner to go over the details. She didn't have the money to follow through with the commercial.
