TUNE POSTING GUIDELINES

[Macc]

Hello all,

I'd like to suggest one or two things. They aren't RULES, but there's a much better chance of at least one person (and probably more) listening to your stuff and maybe giving you feedback if you follow them. Personally I'd appreciate it very much.



- PLEASE, whenever at all possible, put a direct link to the music file in your post. Again, whenever possible, make it as easy and quick as possible for people to get your tune. It may only be a few mouse clicks, but just that alone makes people far less inclined to bother.


That's about it, but following on from that;

- Please avoid linking to pages to links to pages etc.

- Please avoid saying things like 'there's stuff on my site/myspace' then giving the site/myspace link. I know you want traffic through your site/myspace etc, but if anyone is anything like me, they fucking hate myspace and want as little as possible to do with it.

- Please avoid streaming if at all possible - streaming is far from ideal for a lot of people.


In short, make it as close as possible to being 'one click, and there's the tune' as you can. If you want people to listen to your stuff, don't make them have to do any work to get it. That's your responsibility. If it means upping it to a few different locations, so be it. The onus is on you to provide the music, not for people to have to go and get it.


Cheers,

I hate most myspace music pages. I can never turn
of the setting that makes the music play automatically,
I HATE IT!!!! What if I am already listening to something?
Then why would I want to be interrupted by random "sound"
from myspace music pages and plugins. I have a myspace page
but I won't convert it to an "artist" page. I just post links to
music from a dedicated hosting sight I PAY FOR/HAVING IT PAID FOR.
Then I post links in my blog, etc. Plus I want control over
my music, and hosting music on myspace, there are drawbacks,
because they could "misapproriate" your music or audio at any given
time. Peace.

hello all, (...)

cheers,

so, basically all you are trying to say is: direct links to mp3s please, right?

good idea

there's loads of free webspace providers.

http://www.free-webspace.org/search-adv.php - just search for some adfree stuff and get yourself some ftp software (though almost every browser does the job nowadays)

i used to do that too, bit of a fighter the myspace player, wont just stop after one click, needs a fair few to subdue it.



theres a setting to disable automatic music startup, in account settings somewhere.

not to mention the poor quality your tracks have to end up being to be an uploadeable size

and the mass of trance and techno DJs adding u and never saying hello or getting what your musics about

im personally gonna start going throo my friends list and telling theam all to go fuck themselves

[Macc]

fada

oh i loves waking up to a mass of emo and brit pop (more like shitpop) album adverts in my inbox

some of the birds are crackin tho so its swings and roundabouts
