Original Songs / Re: How to upload your song & ...

Last post by 64Guitars - Today at 11:34:07 PM

Hi, I am a newbie, just posted my first post with links to Spotify, Apple Music and Youtube, and I received an error message that I needed to include an .mp3 link, is that correct? Can't see it in the rules, but I added a link in the meantime

MP3 files are required so that the song can be automatically added to our jukeboxes such as Latest Songs.

The link you added doesn't work because it's not pointing to the actual mp3 file. Instead, it points to an HTML page on dropbox which shows their own player. That won't work in our player or jukeboxes.

Many music sites and file storage sites make it extremely difficult to get a direct link to your mp3 file. Presumably, that's because they don't want people hot linking to files on their servers. Two exceptions that I know of are alonetone and OneDrive. See this message:

https://songcrafters.org/forum/index.php?topic=32212.0

Alternatively, you can attach an mp3 file to your song post as long as its size is no more than 7MB. In that case, you don't need to use the [singlemp3] tags because our mp3 player will automatically be inserted into the message when an mp3 file is attached.


As you're a new member, I must point out that Songcrafters is for musicians who are actively recording now. It's not an archive site for people's past recordings. However, we don't mind if new members post one or two past recordings as a way of introducing themselves, but no more than two. After that, all of your song posts must be new recordings. Past recordings unfairly take the focus away from other members who are posting their current song creations.

Cool track, Trev and that effect on your vocal works well. I like the lyrics too.

Unusual to hear a ballad type of song from you, Ron but this is a great track. Incisive lyrics and well produced song.

Excellent recording, so crisp and clear.
Love the acoustic sound.
It's great to hear you vocally in your home language.
A great performance.

Hi there  and welcome to the site.
There should be an mp3 for members  to listen to.
Also I think there's a rule about any tracks posted making any monetary gain .
This rule I believe was set up by the founder Pedro.
So I think the links will be seen as advertising.
Songcrafters is a great site and everyone will welcome you with open arms  if you share your work and comment on others.
 I'm sure if any of these facts are untrue other members will put me right.

I'd like to listen to your music but the MP3 player has nothing on it.

Original Songs / Re: Hamster Wheel

Last post by Farrell Jackson - Today at 07:39:17 AM

The intro with the percussion and the harmony lead guitar riff made my ears perk up. And then the story begins with a droning vocal that has me on the edge of my chair. The lead guitar work is exceptional and mixed/played perfectly. My mind is going round and round with the image of life on a hamster wheel...well done Ray!

Sometimes you have to balance the ups and downs of life and have faith that all will turn out right. Just like songwriting there's an ebb between the high and low tide. Great moving lyrics, vocals and the lead solo is beautifully done with the expert use of the effects. You have found that balance with this powerful song, Ron!

These lyrics can be a metaphor for relationships.

Oops, gotta go.
