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

Last post by 64Guitars - Yesterday 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.

I totally agree Mike and just recently commented on this very subject on Desofree's latest post... it is a great "radio station".... lots of variety and very good stuff just like old 70's radio before they cared so much about gender (whoops) , I mean "genre"

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.
Bravo.
