being able to upload mp3 with a FREE account

hermanding	Date: March 20, 2008 @ 4:46 AM according to what i read here, one can have an account for free that allows max 75MB upload of music. however, i cannot find anyway to upload anything. i presume i am a member, because i have this user name and a password, but everywhere i navigate, i see subscribe now with your card, paypal or check. /// CAN someone tell me HOW to upload something for free, or is this really not possible? /// i would prefer to check out the site with an 18 mb composition of my own and seebhow it sounds, and if others can hear it before committing to quarterly charges. thanks so much for any help you can offer me ding
Mojosnake	Date: March 20, 2008 @ 4:49 AM well right now you a USER account you need to sign up with an ARTIST account and yes this can be done for free... ou might have to start a new account i'm not sure what i can tell you is once you you are an artist the max upload size file will be 12mb ... though this should also change soon good luck and welcome aboard

hermanding	Date: March 20, 2008 @ 5:05 AM ay... so my 18 mb string quartet and harp combo piece just won't fit for doing a test, right, my friend?
rhthesinner	Date: March 20, 2008 @ 5:07 AM Max upload size is 12MB apparently Can you break it down into movements or is it just one piece?
ShadowMom	Date: March 20, 2008 @ 5:33 AM Break it down, or convert it to a lower bitrate, thus making the file smaller. What bitrate is it at now?
zedsalt	Date: March 20, 2008 @ 5:37 AM I've heard that exceptions have been made to the file size limit- wouldn't hurt to ask. Once you get your artist account going, click the red My DMusic tab, then "edit artist account", then "File Manager". Oh, and file names work best here when they DON'T include spaces or capital letters (You're free to do as you want with the titles). Check out the thread "DMusic users' guide" in the "Suggestions" forum. ShadowMom posted some great guidelines there.
zedsalt	Date: March 20, 2008 @ 5:38 AM D'oh! And ShadowMom was the admin' I was going to suggest asking, too!
hermanding	Date: March 20, 2008 @ 6:42 AM thanks to all of you for advice to this south american beginner. the bit rate is 128kbs done on itunes as .mp3. i tried a smaller composition, the 2nd movement of my concerto for viola and orquesta, which is now in my file manager. the next question on this is - how does one hear the music? i have a system hooked in through my Mac Pro Quad (separate stereo and speakers) to play music from streaming radio stations etc. but, how do i do this through dmusic? and, can one invite the general computer audience to come to the site and listen to the music? thanks again, everybody, for any suggestions ding
rhthesinner	Date: March 20, 2008 @ 6:45 AM First, you need the track visible. I sent you a note about that To play, just click on the purple or grey icon, depending on if you want lo or hi fi And yes! Invite people over to listen AND participate!
hermanding	Date: March 20, 2008 @ 7:08 AM gracias sinner. i will look for purple or gray . i assume that lo or hi involves the speed of the stream, yes? thank you very much for your kindness. the learning curve can be vertical at times ding
hermanding	Date: March 20, 2008 @ 7:25 AM i have heard the file on hifi through my system. i hope someone who is not a dmusic registered person can come to that file manager page and play the music that is there. ding
rhthesinner	Date: March 20, 2008 @ 7:27 AM I downloaded it. I will listen shortly. Interact with others, listen to and comment on their tunes. That should generate traffic back to your page TTFN.
Mojosnake	Date: March 20, 2008 @ 7:29 AM listening now
hermanding	Date: March 20, 2008 @ 8:09 AM thank you sinner and mojosnake for taking the time to listen. i will try to learn how to listen to music of other dmusic people too. suppose a friend who is not on dmusic would like to hear the music? does the person have to register first before he can hear anything on dmusic? ding
Distilled1	Date: March 20, 2008 @ 9:03 AM no they can go straight to your page and listen no need to register , but it would be wonderful if they did register and become a part of the community too
hermanding	Date: March 20, 2008 @ 10:54 AM distilled, do you refer to my artist's page? i could send them a url link to that page - or would it be to the file manager? ding
Distilled1	Date: March 20, 2008 @ 10:56 AM yes right to your artist page or to the song comments (then they can click lo or hi in the text on top.)like this http://ding.dmusic.com/ (will send to the overview page new music shows here) http://ding.dmusic.com/music/comments/364799 this will take them to the comments page there are text links in {lo/hi) the title of the song at the end) or if you get much music uploaded you may want to send them like this http://ding.dmusic.com/music/
ShadowMom	Date: March 20, 2008 @ 3:19 PM Send them to your music page or your artist overview page-- copy and paste the address from your browser at the top of the page. And no one but you can access your file manager. Anyone can browse DMusic, in fact we love it when they do. Many do stay and register. We need listeners as well as artists!
hermanding	Date: March 21, 2008 @ 12:01 PM the artist page link works verry well. i put it in a thread on the northern sounds garritan forum and tried it from there. it downloads to iTunes very fast. i wonder what happens for windows users without iTunes. thank you, all of you. i asked the garritan people to listen and see how the sound is, and if they have computer problems. if not, then i can register for some more space. i hope it is possible to have track sizes larger than 12mb with paid space. some of my movements are larger than that. ding
Distilled1	Date: March 21, 2008 @ 12:54 PM with an subscription we "SHOUL" be able to upload up to 64mb, but right now there is a bug they are working on
hermanding	Date: March 21, 2008 @ 1:41 PM i have loaded a couple more small things over from the esnips site. i seem to have the procedure OK on that. i appreciate all help hou guys have ofered me. i am sure i will be asking for more as time passes ding
Distilled1	Date: March 21, 2008 @ 1:46 PM sounding great they are a little on the Quite side , but thats pretty common with classical pieces. maybe if you can master them a bit to add some Volume it would be nice, but I wouldn't want you to destroy the piece doing that...
