"Download of the Day"
Posts: 22
The new Download Of The Day page under joint control of whoever is in charge, for now thats myself(Flock) and obviously more importantly, Asher. I'm just updating it, he's in charge, because he rocks.

We want a group of people who can recommend one track a day which
hopefully people will listen to and pass judgement on. The idea is
just to introduce people to new music.

No Newbies

Monday 4th - Radiohead - Talk Show Host (Down)
Tuesday 5th - Bright Eyes- Hit the Switch (Padraic)
Wednesday 6th - At The Drive-In - Non-Zero Possibility (Emitime)
Thursday 7th - Opeth - To Bid You Farewell (Bob The Moose)
Friday 8th - SuperSystem - Born Into The World - (Your Honour)

Monday 11th - The Libertines - The Good Old Days (Gamesfreak)
Tuesday 12th - Elliott - Away We Drift - (FFF)
Wednesday 13th - South ~ Colours in Waves - (Clazon)
Thursday 14th - De La Soul - Eye Know - (Asher)
Friday 15th - Kanye West - Never let me down (Tiltawhirl)

Monday 18th - Jeff Buckley - Dream Brother (Flock)
Tuesday 19th - Foo Fighters - Aurora - (Rickoss)
Wednesday 20th - Cymande - Fug (Strafio)
Thursday 21st - Joe Walsh - Rocky Mountain Way - (Munn)
Friday 22nd - Ghostface Killah - One - (gerrid)

Monday 25th - Raghav - Angel Eyes (Feat. Jucxi & Frankey Maxx) - (Memo)
Tuesday 26th - Oasis - Fade Away - (Mr Snuggly)

NOTE FROM ASHER - IMPORTANT
If i'm going to be taking control of this for a little while, I expect everyone to take responsibility for their songs and post up a yousendit link or something similar up on the day of their song. I don't have the capabilities to download everything super-quickly like Flock does and put it up, so it's up to you. If you want you're song to get a fair few listeners it's advised that you do this, but if you don't want to then that's fine.
Preferably at least a day in advance so I have time to edit the post each day.

Hmph...

How about compiling a list of email addresses in the main topic?
That way whoever's got the track can send it to all of them on the day.

That's our idea blown. Lord help you, you'll all have to *gasp* download the songs yourselves! What is the world coming to, etc etc.

What if I claimed I was a member of De La Soul, therefore technically I'd have the right to share my song?

I like the idea of having links to places where you can just listen to the file, click the link and it launches media player and the track.
I hope you all like my track on monday, the intro is great.

Would zipping it up and giving it a completely different name like fhsdjfhw48w4.rar with the mp3 inside make it any better?! With password protection?! [which probably won't make a difference..]
Maybe you could just get a free site, make a poop phpbb forum there and just put the links there rather than on here, but still use sendit.
Or send out e-mails to all who are doing the D.O.T.D, assuming they're willing to give out e-mail addy's, with links to the mp3.

I'm out of ideas already.

Anyone got a link to a site that i can host music files on but you can't download from. I've seen people put them up on here before but i've got no idea how to do it myself.

EDIT
Would that be any less illegal?

buy
To acquire in exchange for money or its equivalent

To be capable of purchasing: “Certainly there are lots of things in life that money won't buy” (Ogden Nash).

To acquire by sacrifice, exchange, or trade: wanted to buy love with gifts.










Yeah right, i'm going to "buy" my music! ;)

Any link that ends in .mp3 is a direct link, and we really can't have any links to torrent sites or warez sites etc.

You'll have to find (or buy!) them yourselves.

What would you class as indirect?
I'm looking for a way to make sure no-one gets into any trouble with this but the thread continues as normal. But if we have to just find the stuff ourselves thats fine by me.

No direct downloads to any copyrighted music files please. It's most definitely illegal and as such we can't have it here.

Thanks.
