BeanPod or wherever I can.

It can't be 8track.com. They have a requirement to have at least a certain amount of tracks in a mix. One won't be publishable.

I suggest we move beyond 8 tracks.com if the mixes need to be listened to in order. I re-uploaded my Portal mix and since the music industry got involved with 8track.com, there is a requirement of the site to play the tracks in random order after the first listen. For those of us who require the listening in the exact order it is assembled, there should be another choice for hosting.

will beanpod work, I don't know never used it.

yeah, we've got to be able to play the songs in correct order.

Any suggestions on alternative sites, folk?

I must say, I was able to play my own mix in the correct order on 8tracks repeatedly. I don't understand the problem. Could it be that's true only of one's own mixtape, and all others are scrambled on repeated listenings?

i believe when they changed the online streaming royalty rates a while back. There are copyright issues unless you have a certain # of songs between artists, you can't have too many songs by the same artists in a row, etc. . It has to be really random. I dealt w/ this crap when I was doing my online new wave radio station, which was fun to do but once they raised the royalty rates I had to quit.

so i honestly don't know of any legit site where you can post the tracks and allow them to stay static and play in order, but perhaps i'm totally wrong, and hopefully i am

Hey, Ernest, what's this BeanPod about? Is it easy to use? Free? Allows properly sequenced playback?

Lammastide said:

www.PodBean.com

I'm down for another round.

ernestsewell said:

Looks OK for those of us with editing software. For those of us who have no way of mixing the songs into a single track, though, we'll have to keep brainstorming.

Lammastide said:

Not hard. Get a CD-RW (something you can reuse). Burn an audio CD of your songs in the order you want.

When it's done, reinsert the CD, and using iTunes, highlight all the tracks, then chose Advanced, Join Tracks. It'll group all the tracks together. Rip the CD into an mp3, and voila.....all songs are in one track/file.

Do it, bro!

Moonbeam said:

I'm actually thinking about it.

TRON said:

Hey, you didn't participate the first time around, did you?

C'mon, do it this time!

I didn't participate the last time either,,,,I want to throw my 2 cents on this round even though I'm kinda self conscious about it

Since response seems to be good, I'm gonna go ahead and create a master thread and request a sticky for it.

I guess I'm down for it

8tracks always worked for me. If I needed to listen to a mix more than once, I'd just quit the browser and log back in again to hear the mix in order a second time.

sextonseven said:

ahhhh smart!! there's always a way to crack the system

sextonseven said:

log out then log back in? That works?

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

It's always worked for me.

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

I mean quit your browser then relaunch. That doesn't work for you?

sextonseven said:

I have no idea. I'll have to try. It ALWAYS mixed up the songs on my end

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

Might it help to also clear your cookies? (I dunno... I'm ignorant of that stuff. )

Lammastide said:

Me too. I have zero clue Although my mix was unpublishable because it all showed album "supa" but I edited the description and now it's working. This mixing the songs crap is ridiculous though.
