Cancel Google Account

Canceling your Google account and the Google services you use can be a little difficult at times.

Google maintains a help page that explains the process. The Google user needs to log into the account first, click on Settings > Google Account Settings afterwards and then on the Edit link next to My Products.

This leads to a new page with the option to cancel the Google account completely by clicking on “Close account and delete all services and info associated with it”.

But canceling the complete account is sometimes not the user’s intention. Some users want to cancel a specific Google service, like Gmail or Google Picasa instead.

The steps outlined above to cancel the Google account can also be used to cancel Google services that the user has signed up for.

Both solutions require that the Google user is able to log into the Google account. Users who have troubles doing that can request a password reset if the password that they enter is not accepted in the login.

CDBaby and Snocap Break Ties: So Why Not Sign Up for RouteNote

I have been reading various articles this week about CDBaby and how they broke their deal with Snocap. I have actually seen all of the CDBaby figures on how much their artist were selling on Snocap and the figures weren’t too bad. However if you are a music aggregator and trying to work with Snocap it is a little more difficult than just providing distribution to online stores. The issues with Snocap is the amount of time it takes to implement a widget store and which songs will need to be selected.

CDBaby is now offering for their artists to sign up with Snocap individually and receive the first year free. If however this doesn’t work for you then make sure you head over to RouteNote which will be launching in a few months and already has Snocap signed as a founding partner.  RouteNote will also not charge any signup fees and can license your music for TV, Radio and Advertising at the same time.
