I can handle that. Though I do need sleep eventually, so if I made 24 songs in 3 hours, I should be good for the day.
My program gets better and better, maybe I'll even somehow find ways to fill all 52 weeks with changes.
I'm the only one hosting them and I'm hardly ever hosting these days. I noticed no one was actually downloading anything, so I shut the torrent down. I can put them back on if you like, but it'll only be active when I'm at the PC, which is during my daytime.

You're pretty...devieus. ;-)
The weeks go by very gently if you've already done your part on Monday.
I try to finish by Monday, then upload as soon as possible. I'm cheating this year, but I did the same thing back in 2014.
Can you add a filter to display the copyrighted tracks so we know which ones we are missing?
They're in the copyrights.txt file. It's not exactly sorted, but all tracks of the week are on there, including copyrighted ones.
Week 6, 123 songs+46 copyrighted not included; 768MB uncompressed, 729MB compressed.
sooooo heading into the last week of Feb.. anyone up for another theme?
Here's my suggestions:
Friendship
The early 90's
Having too many ideas in the shower
Digital
Helvetica
Quiet times.
Got you covered. I'm too lazy to change the title on the image, but the thread title is fine.
Week 5, 131 songs+46 copyrighted not included; 778MB uncompressed, 748 MB compressed, certainly a lot less than last week.
Just ask for an upload link here.
hi! quick question about what constitutes as permission. Can I use a beat i paid for or got from the producer personally?
Imagine copyright being something you can hold in your hands, like a stack of wood; did you pay/got a block of wood, or did you just get to look at it?
Alright I have another copyright question... I used a melody from the 1950s I think. I then re-harmonized it, which is my original work and certainly makes it sound quite a bit different. The melody has been published widely in German folk song books, so much so that it's considered a folk song.
... what do you think, OK to submit here?
This would fall under fair use law, which is per case and requires an actual judge. The best I can give you is the likelihood it's fair use (it's pretty likely). In that regard it's like a quantum state, it's both legal and not, until you check it.
Week 4, 153 songs+44 copyrighted not included, 968MB uncompressed, lots of long songs this time around; 931 MB compressed.
First, am I stupid or cant I post new topics? So ill put this here as its closest to my problem (sorry Akira;))
So, at work I have blocked all Flash stuff from my Chrome and the player doesnt seem to work at all, is it Flash based or have I maybe ticked some other boxes from browser settings? Since I mainly listen music at work, its shame that Im missing everybody elses songs unless I start another browser on side, then miss commenting to their songs etc. I do pretty heavy work on bit older machine so I want to keep my browser light. Any pointers whats the problem? Im using Mac Chrome on a Maverick iMac.
You first have to go to a forum, then a link to add a topic shows up.
It shouldn't be flash, it's all JS stuff from what I can tell and the browser does the actual music playing. If your browser doesn't do one of these things, it won't do any of it.
On topic, though, the Discord has a bot that plays this week's songs.
Week 3, 149 songs but 55 were copyrighted, 860MB uncompressed, 814MB compressed.
i think we've decided that we are only doing themes on the last week of the month
I promised the guys on Discord I'd do this, so if that's the case, don't think of it as a theme, think of it as a command.
Last time for week 4 we had someone make a MIDI with some notes that could be used for that week's song; this time there will be no MIDI file (not from me at least), but there will be this sheet:
There's two lines here, either pick one, or use both; side by side or in different places. Just don't make it the whole song.
If you can't read sheet music, instead of trying to learn it, try to interpret what you think it's supposed to say and start with that.
