Reminder - Free Song Hosting at MODPlug Central

MisterX · October 22, 2006, 20:35:49

Just a reminder that the MODPlug Central Downloads area accepts uploads - you can upload your file to MPC for free hosting and song exposure.

This forum provides an excellent means of obtaining feedback for your song, while the downloads area provides exposure to a wide variety of listeners.

I would suggest uploading the file to the downloads area, and then posting an announcement in this forum.

Thanks to everyone who continues to make MPC one of the best Free Music Resources on the web!

Thanks for adding the OGG-format there.
As a test I uploaded an OGG-file, but after finishing I got an errormessage about some version-data missing.
So it's a bit unclear whether things are optional or not in the form.
And I didn' understand most of the licence-options. Samples ? Attribution ?

I'll try to remove the version-number-required part of that code.

The licenses are mostly from CreativeCommons.org, and you can get the descriptions of them from the site itself. I figured if you know CC.org licensing and wanted to use them, they are there to use.

I will check this at CC.

Meanwhile during this first test, I'm pretty sure the upload of the file to the MPC server succeeded anyway.
So my file will be somewhere already, although not in the list on the page.

So if I upload a file, will I be able to remove it if I wish later on?

Solid point

At this time, you cannot automatically remove a file, but the file can be removed by contacting me either via e-mail or PM. I know it is not a perfect system, and I am planning on improving it when I have a chance.

For the time being, I wanted to provide a way to host songs and to make the older songs that I still had available.

I wanted to add a file to the MOD format section, but it went wrong.
I got the message :
Invalid file type.
'zip', 'rar', 'ace', 'tar', 'gzip', 'gif', 'GIF', 'png', 'bmp', 'jpg', 'JPG', 'xm', 'XM', 'it', 'IT', 'mp3', 'MP3', 'ogg', 'OGG'

Apart from this, it was a hell to fill in the form, because it's not clear at all which fields has to be filled in or not.
It took me six sessions filling in things, to get to the point where the actual upload format was refused.

I've been given admin rights to the upload section at ModPlug's UL/DL site, so i will make it a habit of checking these whenever i'm online (unfortunately that's only 2-3 days a week! :? ) MisterX is also very busy so he's not in the habit of checking for upload approvals. Drop him a reminder PM if you don't see your upload after a day or two.

You can also upload tuning files (.tun) to this site -- just file them under the MISC category.

I haven't seen my upload for a while. Will it be approved?

Thanks in advance,

Do note that ModPlug Download Central will come back, but all I've gotten is a backup from the 2000-2001 era, I don't have the newer files.

uncloned · October 26, 2010, 10:58:23

neither do I....

My guess is that the server crash took them in the event.

MisterX told me that he might have a few more backups, but so far I haven't got a response from him yet.

I've asked him a few times over the past years, and each time, I got the same backup of 2001. When did he told you he has them?
