As for Mediafire, I'm not hating on a choice of filesharing service, I'm saying with the tons and tons of chip releases out there, you can't listen to all of them and unless someone says "ZOMG you gotta hear the new (insert artist here) release and it's on mediafire," you have to do SOME judging the book by its cover to weed out what you're gonna download. I contend that you shouldn't be using filesharing as a method of music distribution at all. Look at all those people who released via Megaupload. And I'm not insulting anyone, I'm just simply saying that you're limiting your audience by releasing via filesharing because I'm not the only one who feels this way.

Understandable. My own personal example was a simultaneous release bandcamp/mediafire packaged real nice in the "Releases" section a few weeks ago and it was sounding like people will pass it up simply because the ow.ly link turned out to be a mediafire. I'm not expecting people to find it on mediafire and go OH YES but I would hate to find out that people exited the window instead of clicking download when they found my ow.ly went to mediafire.

Anyone who participated who reads this by then should respond with what link/s they want in their track descriptions (soundcloud/facebook/etc.). By default I'm gonna do just facebook page and soundcloud unless someone states otherwise.

bleo is it cool if I put in the track credit for Sabotage "Brady Leo+Bud Melvin = Spoonicorn" or whatever?

Go pro or go home. If your music is good and you think it's good enough for other people to hear, distribute it with some fucking integrity.

Lol implying integrity means "choose a filesharing network that bigots won't have distaste of for god knows what reason"

like i get it, it doesn't look "professional" (implying many of us make chiptunes professionally read: as their main profession) and I took the advice for choosing something else, but it doesn't change the fact that people being so worked up about a filesharing network is kinda shitty lol

true. I'll hold off on mediafire and only upload on there in the event that for some reason 200 people download it in a month (unlikely, but possible). I ain't tryin to pay for no download credits. Expect it this weekend unless some horrific occurrence prevents me from uploading.

isn't it like $5 for a thousand more downloads?

if you're doing bandcamp, then why do you need to do mediafire at all? people can just download from bandcamp.

Personally I chose to do simultaneous release due to limited number of free downloads off of bandcamp and since I'm poor and upstart it'll be a while untol i upgrade to more free downloads. And I was thinking of the future. The attitude of not downloading something because it has a mediafire is kinda shitty imo.
