Arggghh! I also never archived my final versions before WB2014 went offline-- a stupid mistake. I do still have the source files, however downloading this torrent would be convenient.

They are still reachable. You just have to select 2014 in the dropdown and search your user name.

Upload still seems to be broken for me, but we have all week to work it out.

Its not broken, you can not upload the same day the week starts. If someone already has a track done before the week has started, it's not in the spirit of the site.  wink

You should be able to upload tomorrow, first day doesn't count. big_smile

The idea of open source music has always been very attractive to me.
It reminds me of using trackers and their open nature of song data.

What *decent* music software is out there that is at least free, if not open for the use in the creation and sharing of compositions?
Thoughts?

IN!! Again!
With controlled/realistic enthusiasm to really attempt to fill in EVERY week..!

I would definitely happily throw money at @Trash80's AWS invoice too. How do we even?

2012/2014 weeklybeats was real motivation for me and learned a lot, 2015 was way too quite and unproductive.

So, uh, Woo!~ smile


I think the plan is to take your money gun, and shoot it at @trash80's gmail, unless we hear different from him! There are several services for this such as paypal google wallet, squarecash, venmo, bitcoin, etc. Also, I would gladly pay more $$ to see @names linking/notification user tag functionality on this site!

While it's appreciated, I wouldn't recommend throwing money my way without discussion. Like probably most of you, I am always short on free time. The last thing I want to do during free time is work on a website because of financial obligation.

Sorry for the glitch guys. It's fixed. There was a bug in the year-end date.

Personally I don't like copyright. But if you plan on torrenting music submitted on WeeklyBeats, you should probably filter out copyrighted material as it's questionably legal and disrespectful to the artists whom have chosen that license.

I always thought of weeklybeats as a personal challenge. Although it's a good motivator to get comments & feedback by others, I think things like likes and "who has bookmarked this" might be heading too much into the direction of a popularity contest. If you'd like, use this site to help kick you in the butt to get out new material, and use the others like facebook, twitter and soundcloud to promote yourself.

But as always we are open to ideas, just have to approach things like this with a bit of caution.

If anything maybe we should redo the number of comments on the listing to something like "None, Few, Many" as oppose to actual # number. wink

You guys have a standard tag style for your themed tracks? Should be something to do so that way it's easy to find them.. Something simple like: weekly-theme or theme-week# or just the name of the week's theme (though could get confusing with slashes etc)

Not to have a go at anyone here, but I'm a bit averse to the whole 'like/heart/favourite/vote-up' scenario you see everywhere these days.  I think it's a little more worthwhile for the recipient to receive feedback in the form of a comment and not something that involved a solitary click of the mouse.  Whilst the sentiment might be sincere, it's just not the same as receiving some nice words.
