Okay....Limited Space/Make Live

Wordsense	Date: December 11, 2003 @ 8:09 AM what once was my favorite site to host my music on, mainly for its ease and reliability, has become SHIT. Yes, i'm talking to you Dmusic. ok, the limited space, i can understand, but now we have this option to make your songs live or not. well thats a problem in my eyes. i have all this space left, but i cant make any more songs live. whats that about? break it down to me. make me understand why it is necessary for me to upgrade my account for the sole purpose of additional live tracks. yet, i can still add songs until my limited space is no more. anyway, i feel as if i'm rambling. admins, whomever, break it down to me, please.

TameasDust	Date: December 11, 2003 @ 10:16 AM Just an opinion but i would think as more artists join the space available for everyone becomes limited until more people subscribe so DMusic can afford to get more servers and more storage space. Just the logistics of becoming popular and all the artists out there who wish space for their music. The actual physical storage space and the fair sharing of that space among all artists ...whether they use it or not it is like if you had a garage and just can't stuff that extra record in there ... so you need a bigger garage
GeneHilbert	Date: December 11, 2003 @ 12:15 PM I really see no need in dmusic server hosting a boatload of tunes - that no one listens to..... I have hundreds of things I could post here ..... but the question begs "Why would I want to ......?" I help support this site and I wouldn’t upload 50 tunes ... Maybe this does not apply to you - but I’ve seen people on here just upload shit ...... and I mean shit ...... Is it a ego thing? Tell me what purpose does that serve? (Self Serving) You are not going to be discovered as the latest greatest player by having a page full of crap ..... There are people on this site with 50, 60 tunes on here that don't support, interact, or benefit this site ...... I think what Fu/Milla are doing is necessary for health and benefit of this site and for all that make this musical family work - as to not just survive but thrive ..... It is also a work in progress .... he/they will find out what works and what doesn’t.... give him/them a break. Put up your best stuff - we can tell whether you are talented within a few bars - let along 10 or 12 or 50 tunes. Change them around..... variety is the spice of life - I been told ......
fu-dog	Date: December 11, 2003 @ 1:29 PM Actually, we don't mind hosting all of your music. The real problem is the cost of bandwidth. If you help us pay the bandwidth bills by subscribing, then you get increased storage space and more visible tracks at once, not to mention other features that exist for subscribers, and the features we will be adding in the future. The tracks that you have visible have been granted unlimited bandwidth if users listen to them via our website. That's 8 tracks with no limit of listens. Put your songs up at any of the free webhosting sites and see how many listens you get before your bandwidth is cut off for the month. You could also compare us to some of the other music sites out there... or that were out there. As i understand it, mp3.com only allowed users to have five tracks on the server at any one time. We grant you more visible tracks, and a bunch of space to allow you to "rotate" your song visiblity without having to re-upload those tracks.
woodhead	Date: December 11, 2003 @ 2:06 PM As i understand it, mp3.com only allowed users to have five tracks on the server at any one time Actually Fudog it was only three for nonsubscribers at mp3.com, which why I feel that 8 tunes for free hosting is actually a good deal but that is just me.
azhazhellfire	Date: December 11, 2003 @ 4:22 PM even if fu-dog didn't want the new system to serve as a shit-filter, it did. whether that's good or not is debateable.
babykilla1	Date: December 12, 2003 @ 1:49 AM DAMNIT, I accidently clicked the LIVE button for one of my songs which used to be visible. It then said my song was now INVISIBLE, at which point I go to click the Live button again to return the song to its previous state. It says i'm unable to. The whole reason I clicked the live button was because I thought it was a cool new feature and now the damn thing locked my song out of dmusic for good and I cant get it back. WHAT GIVES!!!! What happened to my song? I just want to undo my mistake of pushing "live" for a song which was already "live" and it won't let me??? why not? Help!!! Its awful.
babykilla1	Date: December 12, 2003 @ 1:51 AM WARNING for all artists, do not press the LIVE button if for songs if they are already "LIVE" You may not be able to return your songs to their previous state. Just look at this garbage I got myself into.
FraZe	Date: December 14, 2003 @ 1:43 PM Yea yo i did the same shit ^ ugh So i can only have 3 songs on my site and can upload as many as i want but not make them live.. Stupid. Searching for another site.. lol
