Members mixes online?

Members mixes online?

What would people think to havin an area on theis board where members can upload and download each others own mixes?

i mean i dunno if it would work, but www.bangingtunes.com have it...

http://www.bangingtunes.com/links/djmixes.asp

wud take up a lot of server space.. the downloads/uploads wud probs slow the board down a bit... also... how can u check they are quality mixes. and not shit ones from me.



a gud idea tho!

lol, dont ask me i aint a techy but someone could be incharge of making sure the crap ones are deleted...

btw if its in real audio does that take up less space than an mp3?

good idea

woiuldn't it be easier to make a sticky thread in this forum and have people host the music on their own server space/mp3 sites then just link on the thread...

hosting mixes costs money

yep but its still big... it aint so much the space its the bandwidth they take up... streaming/downloading media slows sites down.

bangintunes.com simpley let people add LINKS to their mixes - dont actually upload mixes to THEIR server - so wudnt harm the server.

realaudio takes less space but isnt as good quality (not always anyway - u can make it cd quality but ppl cudnt stream it without decent connections if it were...)

links to peoples mixes is a good idea - need to find sumwhere to upload em tho....

unless someone is friendly with the admin of a server with a nice pipe? (uni admins wud be ideal if anyone knows any friendly ones???? )

I agree this would be a class idea tho some type of file management would have to be sorted out!!!

lol Maybe prier approval of files would be a good idea

mods/admins could simply delete shite links.

has anyone got any suggestions for alternative servers that could be used to upload mixes and sets???

yer would be a good idea!!!

lookin into it now........

may have sumwhere in mind - problem isnt the link - its the storage....

and while were on the subject how about a bit of music on the main website?

like a loop... that u can have the option of turning off...

music loops on websites are irratating, they are good for the first coupla minutes, plus for ur average 56k user, it makes the page so much slower to load...

not saying its a terrible idea, but i dont really see the use of em on this site...

Feel free to correct me tho, im always open to suggestion

:groovy:

dunno if they allow mixes - but they deffo allow tracks...

mp3:

www.soundclick.com
www.mp3.com
www.ampcast.com

real audio

www.soundclick.com

i dunno, i like some of them, like i said if the option is there to turn it off then if people dont like it, well thay can turn it off

promise used to have this... I'm kinda glad rob scrapped them

9/10 outa ten music on sites does me head in and dramatically slows the page down.

there was also myplay.com werent there, but apparently if a number of different IP addresses are logged, then it shut the account, cos its obvious its not just for one person.. are any of them like that?

i think they would be a good idea, IF (and only if) they dont load and play automatically - add a 'play' button, which THEN downloads and plays the loops, becuase then we dont have to sit and wait for the loops to load if we dont want to listen to them

That could be a happy medium

:groovy:

think we can upload files of up to 10mb at the min but will have to check with rob that uploading mp3 is ok!!! :groovy:
