Hey!
I keep getting this error:
"Sorry, this file already exists in our system."
(when I'm posting music)
I haven't posted the item before.
Please fix/help!

I'm not 100% sure how the system is set up on here, but it could be because someone else has already uploaded a song with the same filename as whatever you're uploading.
Try renaming it, maybe?

Add small bit of silence to the end of the track and reupload?

I'm getting it too, and it still didn't work on all instances. Changed the info in the track, changed the title of the file, added a tiny bit of silence, but still "Sorry, this file already exists in our system." and I only just made it today, so My guess, is the website's doing something. What's your guess?

did you change the name of the actual file you were uploading though? not just what you entered as the name while uploading or the ID3 tag... this error almost always means that filename already exists on the site.. try adding your artist name to the file name, its good to do that anyway for attribution reasons
edit: just tested and this seems to be a legit bug at the moment.. paging nitro or trash80

I did that and still nothing
Also adding a different name did nothing.

It's fixed. The issue was dealing with CURL support between the servers. It had nothing to do with the file pre-existing or not.
