What about make every single year nice CD album with best tunes from CHIPMUSIC.ORG and beautiful PIXELART booklet? I will buy it for sure. And it can be sweet motivation. And you can make CHIPMUSIC.ORG disco or party after release...

It seems like a nice idea, but how do you pick out the "best tunes"?

it sounds like an awesome idea at first, but basically this would turn chipmusic into a netlabel... and probably piss everybody off.

maybe we could sell it at like a shop page of the website or maybe even send it to itunes hmm you do raise a great point though...

Voting will only lead to the most voted to be selected, not the best tracks.
The only way to get a "best of" is to have someone or a group of people selecting it.

Can we worry about this maybe around november/december? :-D
For now, let's just concentrate on making sweet tunes!

Cannot agree more.  While this "best of" album is a fun idea, there is no real way to go about it well.

So solution will be have CD with:

AUDIO CD DATA - best songs by voting
COMPUTER DATA - All year collection of MP3 or maybe NES, SID tunes etc etc

So everybody will be happy...

Label... Well best will be to have original CDs. You know beautiful pixelart booklet printed on quality paper and beautiful CD layer.

But when it will piss lot of people. You can realise just ISO format and PDF with CD cover and booklet.
Everybody can print it and make its own CD.

But perfect will be have 15-25USD CD for sale. And some t-shirts maybe too... for gigs, shows... in little shop.

PS: And now lets track some nice tunes rather than talk about this...

There is way too much material being uploaded to implement this idea IMO - consider how many tracks will be uploaded after a whole year...

weve been a website barely a month yet, id prefer if we not go so aggressively commercial any time soon

basically, if anything of this sort is going to happen, ever, itll be put together by the site staff in some way or another...myself and another staff member already briefly talked about a similar idea to this before the site even launched, but its waaaaay too early to worry about this, and if the time comes, you wont have to be one of the people figuring out how to implement it smile

Pick out the ones that don't use LSDJ or Game Boys at all, amiritelol? *high five*

No seriously, I'd be fine with a select few staff members picking out the best tunes. The Daft P{unk cmp was awesome and a similar approach was taken.
