witchcraft.

well, if you're just ow.ly the url, you should do a public dropbox link, that way, the zip save dialogue just pops up and no one has to look at any ads or click anything else!

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.

Please just credit us as Spoonicorn and link to http://budmelvin.com thanks!

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.

So I mastered tracks and set up the bandcamp for the comp, just gotta upload the songs which I will do tomorrow. 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?

no, I don't think so because I see where he's going with it. its just like wow, insulting people for their choice of filesharing.. a new trend?

sorry for threadjack, back to business I guess.

are you calling brady a bigot?

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

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

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.

Keepin that in mind thanks for the tip!

Archive.org> mediafire. JUST SAYIN.

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.

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.

Thats what I'm saying, baby!
