is there a maximum file size for song uploads? and is there a maximum bitrate encoding? cuz my song at 192kpbs is like a little over 10Megs and it consistently has not been uploading.

Yeah... it should be like 7MB, I believe...

BTW, we can always make this larger... Guess 10MB songs might be kinda kewl...

Thats a big damn song though Mud.

Yeah, as long as it was quality though, it wouldnt be a problem...

I'm really not sure where to put the limit...

Used to be 5MB...

i think 10 is good... that was the issue I ran into... if i wanted to have a decent quality encoding on my song which was 7 minutes long, it ended up 10M... i had to use 64kbps iirc, which kinda sucks if you've got a long song. I think generally speaking most songs won't end up as 10M

i mean, prolly not, but what if someone wants to post a 20 min song? the bitrate would probably be so low as to make it seem like the production was horrible.

then again, 5M keeps things short and sweet and overall it doesn't seem like to many people have had problems keeping their songs under 5M

I dont care about storage space... It's more about whether people want to listen to really long songs here on BandAMP... I mean, I would be fine with 20 minutes songs myself, as long as they were quality shit, you know?

I'm having simmalar problems Ive upload a song at a bitrate of 312kbps and after an age of waiting fdor it load nothing happens  its incredably fustraiting!!!

please refer to the FYI thread...  i wrote it for a reason.  please read over the entire first post carefully... and honestly check the stuff i wrote down.  i don't write it to hear myself talk

PLEASE look before you post, people.  i don't mean to sound mad at you specifically, Tom1989, i'm just trying to state it for the record.

there HAS been an issue where it does seem to upload alright, but then it won't play back.  i'm not sure what the reason is for that, though it may still be a good idea to kill the song and then upload again.

Sory Shall do

no worries

your problem may not be explicitly covered in that set of topics, but if that's the case, you can always try to reupload, and if you still ahve trouble, then the mp3 uploader may be broken some how

i'm fairly certain it's not broken though, as we've gotten new songs posted recently

good luck with that!
