Interesting addition to Scribd. Why sheet music, @tripadler?
Trip Adler
@rrhoover - Sheet music has long been one of the most frequently requested content verticals from our community, so it was a natural addition. We are excited to bring even more value to our subscribers and to connect them with many different types of content while helping publishers reach new audiences.

Where do they source sheet music? From my experience it is hard to get permission to sell from all the different sources.
Trip Adler
@joshdance We have a partnership with sheet music publisher Hal Leonard. We offer more than 2,600 digital songbooks across all genres.

Looked at it. The catalog and music filters was rather disappointing. Classical and jazz could be a lot deeper
Trip Adler
@ourielohayon Thanks for taking the time to share feedback.

Hey @tripadler what is the market opportunity here? Is there enough demand to sustain something like this long-term?
Trip Adler
Hey @bentossell - Sheet music is a $250M market. I don't see any reason why we can't do this long term.

@tripadler holy sheet - had no idea it was so big! :) What would you like to get from the PH community?
Trip Adler
@bentossell - We would love for the musicians in the PH community to check it out and let us know what they think. There are many musicians in the Scribd office (myself included), and we are excited to hear what everyone thinks!

@tripadler Cool @yuvalkaminka and also @earslap may be of interest :)
Matt Marsh
was thinking of a client of mine who produces tutorials/aid materials for piano

Are you / would you expand to include submissions by individuals? also would you consider training aids/materials to compliment the sheet music content?
Trip Adler
@mcmarsh You already can upload your own original sheet music to Scribd, although at the moment you can only make it free or sell it a la carte, you can't yet monetize it via subscription. And yes we plan to add all sorts of additional content to Scribd. Is there anything in particular you'd like us to add?

This is really good
Trip Adler
@mbalex99 Thanks! I agree :)
Lea Marolt
Are you thinking of expanding to more than those 2600?
Trip Adler
@hellosunschein We are always on the lookout for new content to bring to our subscribers. We have no immediate expansion plans at the moment, but we'll let you know if that changes.

Thanks for hunting us @justinkan, and thanks everyone for the support. Happy to answer any questions.
