(313) When posting a mix...
[soapbox] I'm just going to get on a soapbox for half a second, won't make a thing out of it. Please enter the metadata into the mp3--preferably all of it but at least put your name in the Artist field. Finding DJ 313kiddo's HotCheeseJamz mix is a little difficult in even a modestly sized library of 3,500 mp3's since the filename was called uberl33tmix2009.mp3. Please do not encode at anything lower than 256k. I'm more tolerant of this with 313'ers but still, I'm losing my tolerance for this type of stuff overall. Plus it's just my opinion. Nothing to get worked up about. [/soapbox] And now back to my regularly scheduled lurking.

I think the bitrate argument is bullcaca. IN MY DAY we had duplicates of duplicates of unmastered cassette tapes AND WE LIKED IT. /grumpyoldman ;) On Tue, Apr 7, 2009 at 11:06 AM, Thor Teague thor.tea...@gmail.com wrote: [soapbox] I'm just going to get on a soapbox for half a second, won't make a thing out of it.

Re: (313) When posting a mix...
I really do not care much about quality or metadata... but I do like tracklists... it can be quite annoying, when you play a mix, and you want to find out about a certain record in this mix... Like the Patrice Scott one, not too long ago. My 2 cents, Wibo 2009/4/7 Frank Glazer cpe1704...@gmail.com: I think the bitrate argument is bullcaca.

Re: (313) When posting a mix...
My ears are partially fux0red from listening to said tapes very loudly on the way to load parties, hence I can't tell the difference between 128k and 256k bit rates, heck 92k sounds good to me ;) P.

(313) 313 in da 323 - Sandwell District Tour 2009
Good (313) event this weekend in LA. Besides Regis, Silent Servant aka DJ Jasper aka Juan Mendez is a huge Detroit-head, and Derek Michael is a former Detroit native. --- Saturday April 11th Interface 26 :: 26 by Droid Behavior TECHNO:HOUSE:MINIMAL:ACID :::Sandwell District Tour::: REGIS vs FUNCTION live PA Sandwell District // UK + Berlin A truly unique operation...SANDWELL DISTRICT SANDWELL DISTRICT is the underground Techno label of the moment. With support from all quarters (Dettmann + Klock, Laurent Garnier, Jeff Mills, and Speedy J to name a few) the label collapses techno's boundaries and rebuilds the genre in its own unique image. As stalwarts of the hugely influential label Downwards, Function and Regis have pushed the dance music envelope for over a decade. Sandwell District however is a beast of its own, a label of the here and now. Pushing new boundaries with each EP, Sandwell has earned label of the month in both DJ Mag and Resident Advisor and caused waves within the industry. Function and Regis' approach to live/DJ work similarly challenges convention, with a combined digital/analogue environment allowing both artists to feed off one another during their performance. JASPER aka SILENT SERVANT Cytrax :: Sandwell District // MPLS along with: SUBVERSIVE Droid Behavior // LA DEVELOPER Modularz :: 4track // LA VIK CARRILLO Droid Behavior // LA Derek Michael live PA Droid Behavior // LA FABIAN Freq Freq // LA visual experiments by bijan + CPU 10pm - 8am | open bar till 11pm | 21+ Presales: $10 / $15 http://groovetickets.com/ordersystem/groove/eventviewqb.asp?AffilID=93EventsID=46748PGname=DROID%20BEHAVIOR RSVP: droidbehav...@gmail.com info/directions: 323.743.8419

Please do not encode at anything lower than 256k. Thought I'd chime in as a possible culprit. The one time I posted a longer mix at 320k I ran out of bandwidth and had to shell out on two sets of top-ups just so people could grab it - so I reduced it to 192k. The difference in file size is 130MB for my last mix. This isn't trivial for people with smaller storage devices (I sometimes use a 1GB mp3 player). My previous mix at 320k would have been 410MB! It's a fair point re: metadata. You're right to complain, and I know I've forgotten to add it before uploading more than once - but why not just add it yourself if someone forgets to add it? It only takes ten seconds. Whereas re-uploading files without metadata can be a hassle if you realise that you forgot after the fact and have poor upload bandwidth. It's a bad excuse I know but perhaps it sheds some light on why it happens? Cheers, Tristan === phonop...@phonopsia.co.uk http://www.phonopsia.co.uk
RE: (313) When posting a mix...
Please enter the metadata into the mp3--preferably all of it but at least put your name in the Artist field. For mixes, I've found it convenient to enter the tracklist into the lyrics field so it displays while the audio is playing- at least it does with Media Player. Please do not encode at anything lower than 256k. That's not always possible. Because of its size, a 90 min set recorded at that bit rate can cause trouble for a website server if the set gets even a moderate number of hits. The web host can then shut your entire site down. I've already had this happen because of audio recorded at lower (192k) bit rates. You could put whatever you want on your website if you are on a dedicated server, but those cost a good bit more than a standard website does. My 2 cents. Anton
Re: (313) When posting a mix...
RIGHT, I meant to mention that and forgot. Thanks Anton. TRACKLIST INTO THE LYRICS FIELD PEOPLE. Definitely off my soapbox now. For reals. :) On Tue, Apr 7, 2009 at 9:02 PM, AntonBanks.com web...@snet.net wrote: For mixes, I've found it convenient to enter the tracklist into the lyrics field so it displays while the audio is playing- at least it does with Media Player.
