Listens w/o Comments

RayN44	Date: March 17, 2006 @ 5:33 PM Total Full Partial Downloads: 2 2 0 Hifi: 6 4 2 Lofi: 8 7 1 Overall Hits: 16 13 3 Total Playlists: 1 Emails: 0 Thumbs Up Thumbs Down 1 0 This is the the statistics for one of my newest songs I uploaded, which is good. The listens are very much appreciated. The only problem is there is only 1 comment on it. The same for the rest of the songs on my page where the stats are tripled the comments. How am I supposed to return the litsten and comment when I don't know who is doin the listening. The only thing I've gotten so far lately is a "thank you for your comment, you got good music" in my shotbox. Thats ok but I, personally would rather have the listen and commet in return. Tell me what you think about it. I get tired of listening to the same songs over and over. What's the deal hear? Aren't you supposed to listen and comment to get listens and comments? Or has this changed w/o warning?
TameasDust	Date: March 17, 2006 @ 9:30 PM could be that users who come to listen to music do so from the gendre lists and not from your personal page ... doing so they may not know that they can comment on your music or know how to reach your page ... not your fault though ... people can listen without commenting ... it has always been that way ... as far as I know
LiQuidMetamo...	Date: March 18, 2006 @ 12:08 AM freedom of choice - I have songs with over 30 hits and 5 comments and I'm happy to have the 5 comments. To listen to a song does not mean you have to comment - it would be nice if more people would but such is life. I often listen to several songs by an artist I like but usually try and comment on the lowest commented on tune or maybe the 2 lowest commented on ones if I have the time... To me, just being listened to is nice especially if the full download stat is on (means people at least gave it a chance to download) the more partial downloads, the more I think 'oh cr*p, people couldn't be bothered to hear the song, so it probably sucks!
Engine11RDenny	Date: March 23, 2006 @ 8:10 PM I'd rather have the people say something the dmusicianers anyway. [and i know my vox suck ] The thing is I can't really complain because I don't leave my songs up long enough. But I agree let us know what YA THINK!!! one thing I've never gotten is a bad remark or one that doesn't help - so I save them all for future reference.
ShadowMom	Date: March 23, 2006 @ 8:24 PM Keep in mind too that although I might listen to your song three times, I will not leave three comments...the number of comments will almost always be a lower number.
K3VIN	Date: March 23, 2006 @ 8:39 PM yea i feel teh same
southwing	Date: March 23, 2006 @ 11:47 PM I listen to a lot of dmusicians, and am guilty of not leaving comments. ahhhhh...that felt good
imemine	Date: March 23, 2006 @ 11:50 PM The first step is admitting it.
southwing	Date: March 24, 2006 @ 12:34 AM whats the next step?
Engine11RDenny	Date: March 24, 2006 @ 3:53 AM intervention
shadowself	Date: March 24, 2006 @ 4:16 AM I thought the next step was accepting Jesus...
kingo	Date: March 24, 2006 @ 8:34 AM The pressure to leave comments actually more than anything else keeps me from listening to stuff here. Which is annoying. It's hard to make it just about LISTENING, it's got to turn into "Am I feeling constructive today? Do I have anything to offer? What if I don't like it? Where are my CDs?"
southwing	Date: March 24, 2006 @ 8:49 AM intervention? hey don't bother, i'll whip these addictions by myself, i can stop anytime i want----anyway in reguards to commenting, i was always taught, if you don't have something nice to say, don't say nuthin...(my parents had terrible grammar). But on the other hand, in the past, when i left corrective critiques, they wern't taken well, i prefer to say 'nuthin' if it ain't my cup-o-tea
GeneHilbert	Date: March 24, 2006 @ 9:42 AM There are a lot of people that either aren't comfortable leaving comments or don't bother. I have a lot more listens than comments and I'm sure that is the case across the board. People are listening, and that’s a good thing.
imemine	Date: March 24, 2006 @ 9:52 AM Kingo nailed it! I like to listen to music on here. Online, offline and burned so I can listen to it in my car! Sometimes I leave comments. For me, whether or not I like it I will usually say something if I "Am I feeling constructive”! To anyone that has just listened to my music, thank you! For those who have taken the time out of their busy lives to comment, thank you that much more!!!! It’s all good folks!
EvilPicnic	Date: March 24, 2006 @ 10:11 AM Absolutely. I find that I only comment on about half of the songs I listen to. I take the opposite view to joenmelice, I don't really see the point in critiquing something if I don't point out the the things which (IMO) could be improved, or if I feel a group or artist is underrated and needs some encouragement. So I don't comment on anything if I don't have anything to comment about. I try not to leave comments like, 'Yo, man, your shit's great' unless I mean it and there is absolutely nothing else to say. And I have to say laziness and lack of time also comes into it. I enjoy music more when I just listen for enjoyment rather than analyse for a critique (I do enough of that at college in Alevel Music). E.g. I've listened to just about all the music on GeneHilbert's page, but I've only commented on a couple of tracks. This is because just about everything I could say has already been said by the 20 or so people above me. The couple of tracks represent the times I've had something worthwhile to say, and havn't been too lazy to say it. So yeah, I would prefer one decent critical comment than 37 ,"Yeah, man, I dig your shit!"s. As far as I'm concerned, quality of comments is much more important than quantity of comments, and if I don't feel in the mood to give a comment of decent quality, then I won't comment at all. I'll echo Imemine in saying thanks to thosewho have commented on my shit, it really is appreciated.
RayN44	Date: March 27, 2006 @ 4:28 PM Thats fine listen all you want, but comment at least once. I appreciate that
K3VIN	Date: March 27, 2006 @ 4:30 PM i love quality too, but sometimes i dotn get that.
EvalLin	Date: March 27, 2006 @ 10:03 PM i only have about 5 comment's, so i asumed that nobody had listed to my songs, but i had over 30 plays, this was surprising, but i would still like to get more feedback, it would be more Valuable to have
LiQuidMetamo...	Date: March 27, 2006 @ 11:19 PM 1) Mostly the people who have been around for a long time and have multiple thousands of points have the contacts who will listen and comment. 2) Some people are so g*ddamned talented that they DESERVE the comments. 3) The more you comment on others and post in the forums the more people sit up and notice and listen to you...it isn't a reciprocal service but it helps. I'm very happy that a few people have posted comments on my music and streamed my tunes considering I'm a relative newbie to this site. This community rules !!
JanTosh	Date: April 8, 2006 @ 6:02 PM I'm happy just seeing someone listened to a song and that it was coming out of someone's speakers somewhere far away.
victorsskull	Date: April 8, 2006 @ 9:38 PM I just cut it short and say cool or groovy or or or or
Rodrica	Date: April 10, 2006 @ 6:27 AM Ray...I'm a Disciples of the Third Watch fan...and I'll comment as many times as you like (just send cash through the mail - only joking!) Helps if DMer's know where to find you so here's your page link... http://dtw.dmusic.com/
