Having an opt in system isn't possible with even the most restrictive of Creative Commons licences unless you want a fairly creative interperetation. If it's distributed CC it can be redistributed and added to any playlist (bar an exception or two depending on the licence).

I don't meant to sound negative about the idea, on the contrary, Im glad we are all still looking at ways to find a happy middle ground

Are you referring to my post?

I hardly think that the CC licence has any implications whatsoever on a filter or playlist selection.

I don't really like where this is going.

New suggestion:
Just have a group of members grant tracks to be on "the chipmusic.org playlist". This is an effective way to find good enough quality and filter out most of the crap, without making it all too serious/competetive. The threshold to be on the playlist shouldn't be enormously high.

I don't like that idea. Being on a special list is a contest.

Just a comment.. review thing or people having different rights will form social stratification. If you want a place free from hierarchy or status hunting everything like that probably needs to be avoided. Otherwise a group will soon put their minds into any kind of social importance available.

However, I would accept if albums and bigger releases could be reviewed. That would be a worthy enough cause and more of a meaningful and valid way of gaining reputation/attention. Also giving the "scene" a boost in the right direction..

My wishes: No likes. Bookmark andor subscriptions as well as comments are good.

Please add a tagging system that can be used when searching/filtering. Either free tagging or a fixed set of vocabularies making the filtering even more powerful. (i e Music genre, Software, Freewords (can be used for mentioning group or album)). Having all tags on a site being clickable leading to the corresponding pre-filled search form is the kind of feature that makes people browse around.

Once again.. there is nothing useful about likes. On the contrary.
