it seems that any song with the title "untitled" creates an error 404 when you try to access the uploaded track's page.
it happened with a couple of songs that i can see, including one of my own.

It's an intentional bug to force you to title your songs.

Delete and reup the file with another non usual name, maybe with your alias in it, as "ev0l - untitled", might solve it.

If this is intentional, it doesn't sound like a good idea. If there are two artists who have a song titled "Rain," both of them should be able to upload their songs with the same title without a hiccup. The site should still be able to know which song was from which artist.
Right now the songs are stored like this:
http://chipmusic.org/media/music/YYYY/M … _title.mp3
And the page is here:
http://chipmusic.org/artist/music/title
I don't understand why ev0l's problem occured.

I'm pretty sure is not intentional, pretty much a kind of bug. JAK was soft trolling ;D
Maybe a bug with the 0? But I can't assure that.

@subway sonicbeat: i cant even delete the file if i cant access the page to play it.
if i cant delete the file, even if i do rename it, it does not allow a similar file upload. that is, even if i rename the original file, i cant.
thanks anyways

So try to contact the mods here by PM, I think thrash80 might help you.

the only bug here is that the song name doesnt work in the url- which i'm looking into now.
Our system is sophisticated in how it deals with mp3s, nothing is stored as the file name you provided- it is renamed as /year/month/user-name_album_track-number_track-name.mp3 to keep our backend pretty and uniform. The file is also md5 hashed (basically gets a set of characters that represent the uniqueness of the file) if you just rename a mp3 and upload it, the system will know that the file already exists.
