posting music in iMER ....

[cjdenecia]

WOW.

apparently troll's idea for this forum was a good one - at least with a decent number of AR'rs ....

cool.

but I can see it becoming a very confusing place in a short period of time ... what've I heard, what haven't I ...??? click click page go back page scroll down .... rinse and repeat ...

we really might want to think about a way of keeping the navigation of this forum easy to follow ... unfortunately: probably with sub forums, at least a few to start.
what do we think might be a good way of categorizing? or at least organizing. we could go with style, genre - but that's sometimes cloudy and subjective. yet - off the top of my head, I can't think of a more logical way.

we do have to do something I think, if we're really interested in in some small way, promoting the music we recommend, we should look halfway like we care about what we're doing instead of just throwing everything into a big hat. and if we're really looking at creating a website here, if you think about it, THIS could be the forum for fishing for audiopolis participants in the future.

so how does anyone think we might accomplish that? (the organization of the forum ya doobs)

I really like the surprise factor. How about keeping posts by the date posted.

so then, with a lack of input, I've just created the sub folder forums ... please post new songs and artists, etc in the appropriately dated location. obviously, all replies go in whatever thread you're in.

may not be the best listing and sorting setup ever, but it's all we got right now.

easily adaptable to monthly. and back again ....

[cjdenecia]

amazing.

a place to show off friends, finds and all things indie fantastic and such a small turnout ... the same basic numbers as the review forum. minimal.

like there's more of a passion to tell a joke or show a youtube of somebody who's got their head up their ass than do a "solid" for a band or musician who's deserving ....

[insert righteous indignation here] YOU PEOPLE MAKE ME SICK.

I'm about 3 seconds from putting some of you on the spot and asking you if you even listen to independent music.

With the tunes being "off-site", it's hard to tell how many people have actually bothered to check them out. Unless they say so, of course, but not everyone wants to comment. Maybe it would be an idea to have one of the "poll" things in each thread; y'know - I listened, I liked it, I hated it, I'm indifferent...just to see if anyone cares. That'd be quicker than composing an opinion.

cj, I'm not sure what has you riled up.

Is it because the amount of music that is being shared has slowed a bit or is it because not too many comments are being made regarding the artists that have been posted?

If it is the latter, I'm not sure why one is expected to post a comment.

I suppose I'm looking for clarification of what you anticipated from these threads.

[cjdenecia]

I wasn't expecting anything. and "riled" up? yeah, ok ......

anyway - to be sure, I was hoping for participation in something music oriented by more than the same handful who take part in the reviews .... makes me wonder a great deal about putting forth effort to build a website. for who? for what?

if that's riled up, guilty as charged.
