check out my sig... I am curious about the legality issues though. I want to spread the knowledge of good bands, but I don't want people to donwload my songs and keep em.

I am hosting this from my cable connection (60KB/s up) so if it's slow that's why :) Try increasing the buffer size in your favorite mp3 program :) I would like to see how many people can access it.
The problem is that my mp3s are pretty high quality... if I lowered them I probably could handle more.

If this is totally illegal than let me know before I get into trouble :)

You have alot of good music there. Too bad there's too many people trying to access it now.

Opening night is always hectic... I am hoping that as time goes on, only a couple people at a time will go on it...

My cable connection has been very flaky this evening too... some packet loss and my gateway has gone down 3 times tonight. It's been fine for a year until tonight.

ViperXX - That's the whole point :), I don't want people to save a copy on their computer. All of these mp3s came from CD's I have purchased. I'm one of those self righteous freaks :)

If you use winamp, go to the preferences, input, nullsoft mpeg audio decorder, configure, streaming tab, then enable saving check box and click the button to choose the destination.

Ack! Umm... I trust that noone will do this :) otherwise it is going back to private use only :)

Well that isn?t good.

I'd share nicely, but I only have a satellite connection.

If you?re going to share, please share nicely.

Sorry folks but I am going to take this down... Unfortunately there is nothing stopping you from saving a stream, or taking the link from the m3u file.

I don't want to promote freeloading, sorry.

That's cool. It's a great idea. Too bad you can't get it to work the way you want it to.

It's a good thing I don't have my user rating enabled... My rating would plummet faster than the stock market :p

I've reconsidered... I've got it open again...

My rational? I believe this will provide more good than harm. I will trust that people will not take advantage of this service to loot and pillage. If I can get someone to go out and buy a CD because they
like what they heard from my site, that would be great :)

Keep in mind I am limited to 60KB/s up, make sure you increase your buffer sizes.

Remember, I trust you you guys :)

Good night

You really believe that, don't you? :(

The only way you could ever hope for someone here to buy a CD after DLing from you is if you downsampled everything so it doesn't sound nearly as good as the original. ;)
