:: Question:
 What is Australian Music Online?
Answer:

Australian Music Online (AMO) is a web-based initiative designed to promote new Australian music through a network of content sharing partnerships.

Since its inception in March 2003, AMO formed mutually beneficial partnerships with members of the Australian music industry and media to facilitate this comprehensive web resource that collected, collated and shared information about new Australian music. 

Our vision is that this innovative content sharing initiative results in more current and comprehensive information about Australian music being showcased throughout the Internet producing significant marketing and promotional benefits for the local music industry.

As of March 31, 2007, we're unable to create (or update) any artist, release or label profiles on AMO. We are in the process of restructuring AMO. Please check back for further details.

:: Question:
 What happens to content on the AMO site?
Answer:

As you can see, AMO contains an extensive amount of content about Australian music, including artist profiles, release information, streaming audio files, label profiles, reviews and interviews. This content has been created by AMO as well as aggregated from our network of partners.

AMO syndicates all or parts of this content to an extensive array of partner websites. This syndication enables many other websites to offer a more complete service to their user bases through providing a richer catalogue of information about new Australian music. Visit the supporter’s page to see the complete list of websites and media organisations involved in AMO.
