well i cant do people what to do with their time but for what its worth i d like to see that option for mixcloud, soundcloud and most importantly bandcamp!

you plankton agree or dont care about it?

Although I agree it would be neat and keep the person in the page here, it's just not on my list of really really really important things. Pasting a link someone can click on works too. Like the link in my sig.

Audio compression must be quelched!

well if you going to stream you gonna have compression but other than that youtube is the mega-absolutely-huge-market while bandcamp seems to be close to the musicians/bands and mixcloud/soundcloud are more listener/fans/curators driven..

since you mentioned compression whats your opinion about flac files? you think its worth the extra space compared to 256/320 mp3 files?

Not sure what you're on about with the mega-market vs the little guy thing. They all have their own business model, and they'd all love to be the one everybody logs in to, it's just that YooToob got the jump on everyone by being the most accessible right out of the gate, and they keep it that way.

You want people to listen to lossless, then upload your **** in any lossless format. Pretty simple, really.

everybodys got their business model and i prefer that of bandcamp and mixcloud. i also shortly explained why i prefer it. of course everyone wants more people in. i missed where you disagreed. i never said littleguys or anything like that.

where can you upload looseless? [i genuinely have no idea about this kinds of things...]

Another music website I go to posts Soundcloud and Vimeo and others and it'd be nice to do that here.
There are lots of new upcoming releases that make their way to Soundcloud (teasers), for instance,
and it'd be nice to share those here. I've tried different forms of code embedding and none seem to work,
so I have to believe it's something on the forum side of things that needs to be adjusted. It'd be nice.

Bandcamp and Soundcloud allow for FLAC uploads, which is one type of standardized "lossless audio format". Just type that into any search engine to find out all about them.

We should all be allowed to throw things at members. Like monkeys throw ****.

I think we need more leniency on trolling and personal attacks
