Re: Taking over Anywhere.FM

I'm think of completely removing the subjective component (Comp) from the calculation, even though it only contributes 0-100 points.

yeah do it do it

Re: Taking over Anywhere.FM

600 Song Mark just passed. Also just added all of you all to my "friends list". Everyone should do the same. My goal is to break 1,000 today. I am also adding the playlists starting with a-z style for easy access of alphabetical searching. As well as any of the artists I enjoy, I will add a playlist of them. That is all. Until I reach 1000!

Re: Taking over Anywhere.FM

For some reason, songs I add aren't showing up on the list. The first 17 are there, but those showed up well over an hour ago. I've uploaded 20+ since then, and nothing has appeared.

Re: Taking over Anywhere.FM

It's taking an extremely long time to show the newest songs lately, for whatever reason.

Re: Taking over Anywhere.FM

I reloaded the page and they were all there, so all is well in the universe.

By the end of the day I'll have a decent amount of music in convenient playlists.

Maybe

Re: Taking over Anywhere.FM

mead, A good way to monitor songs as they're being uploaded is to upload them while watching your "Recently Added" playlist. I find when I do this, songs appear right away. If a long period of time goes without songs appearing, I usually find logging out and logging back in makes them show up, if it's been a reasonable amount of time.



windsurfer, the best way to check is to browse your music with windows explorer and view it's properties (advanced properties). Whatever is in there is the ID3v1 tag.

Note that mp3s nowadays can have an ID3v1 tag (at the end of the file) and an ID3v2 tag (at the beginning of the file, with support for pictures etc.)

iTunes only writes ID3v2 tags to the files, but anywhere.FM reads from the ID3v1 tag.

you can read more about that issue here:

Basically, what you need to do is download that software I talked about in my "Tips" post:

Is your music painfully disorganized? I'm retentive about organizing my music. I found a free tool that's really useful and saves me a lot of work. http://jj.consti.de/jjsoftware/uk/mp3renamer.html
If a) You usually name your songs properly on your computer, but the ID3 tags are messed up or non-existent for the most part, or
b) You usually name your ID3 tags perfectly in iTunes or Windows Media Player, but browsing for songs on your computer is impossibly frustrating because they have ridiculous file names.
You can use this tool go through a pile of mp3s and either rename the file based on the ID3 tag or write the ID3 tag based on the information in the file name.

This tool has the ability to take information in the ID3v2 tag and write it to the ID3v1 tag.

Happy Days!


Edit: I've added a new section to the "Tips" Post for this:

Does your music appear with wrong Tag information in Anywhere.FM, or your car's MP3 player, even though you've written all the correct tag information using iTunes or Windows Media Player? The reason is that there are two ID3 tags in mp3 files, v1 and v2. v1 is simpler, limited, and used by most basic programs and software. iTunes and WMP both write to ID3v2 tags, and fail to synchronize the ID3v1 tags with matching information. You use the above tool to write your ID3v2 tag information to your ID3v1 tags on your mp3 files, so that this confusion no longer occurs.

Yeah I know. Every time I upload songs it doesn't show up for like the next 15 minutes.

Also everyone seems to like the DDR mixes I uploaded. The 2nd mix already has 36 plays from being up for like two days.

Re: Taking over Anywhere.FM

I started a gabber playlist (Gabba gabba HEY) and an electronic (ELECTRONIC HOLY FU) playlist. I also created a playlist for songs that have been recently added to my main playlist (for anywhere.fm).

The gabber and electronic playlists are still small but I have to go through all my music and pick out the gems and I don't always want to listen to music so it's taking time.

I'm also going to upload a MISC. playlist of random **** I find. It'll be good.

ps I'm totally ripping this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5hUni0dy4o

Re: Taking over Anywhere.FM

**** it's going to take days to upload enough **** to do this properly, but whatever

EDIT: Whatever. Do me alain. Do me hard.

Expect my playlists to grow far more diverse over the next few days.

I'm now on there, my username is TwilightShade. =)

Uploading a bunch of FFR songs, and trying to get my Itunes library on there, but the uploader they give you is really bad.
