Yes, but I think that the Public Domain contributed a lot.

does anyone feel a decrease in views because of the addition of this public domain stuff?

can't tell about the views, as I don't monitor these.
But in sales I didn't make out any change so far, these have been stable and the same as before (I didn't upload new files since a while, so I can tell without guessing) :)

Also, a royalty free library's publishing entity recently added about 25,000 pieces of music, mostly good quality. I think more is being added little by little because they added over 30,000 to Motion Elements and the actual library has more than that. This is including the edits, loops, etc. for tracks, so it's not 25K unique tracks, but it's still 25K tracks added to a search.
It's a very good business move on their part because it expands their distribution without really costing them very much. Their library site doesn't appear to be going anywhere. I think some royalty free libraries see the writing on the wall when it comes to microstock marketplaces like Getty, Pond 5, Revostock, etc. attempting to win over the lower tier music market. The libraries that put a foot in now are ahead of the curve. When Getty started doing music, they ended up purchasing Pump Audio and some other royalty free libraries that had been purchased by Jupiter Images before Getty bought Jupiter Images. I'm sure that made those libraries good money. And if they aren't looking for an eventual buy-out, the distribution increase is a definite plus.
This should have 2 affects. The pricing is well above the average here. That could be a good thing by telling people it's OK to raise their prices (I hope). Second, it's a lot more competition and I have little doubt your sales will either decrease now or eventually if you don't have really good metadata and constantly add new material. In any event, this is inevitable because this tier has been oversaturated for a few years now and it's getting much worse by the day. Quality is going to improve, marketplaces will expect better music, and lots of people are going to be shut out. I don't sell at Audio Jungle, but I read their forum and lots of people are now talking about getting a higher number of submission rejections.
