Thanks. No I'm not a musician or have any band. It's just to show people what I'm listening to

If you post in the music parts your post counts will rise.Don't over do it ,or itll think yer a spammer.

You do not need 15 posts to post youtube videos and you do not need to post links to them. It explains this on the very first page of this thread.

The "value" is the ID of the video you want to embed. As an example, the ID values of the following two youtube video URLs have been bolded.

Since when don't you need 15? I had the 15 post restriction when I joined.

Embedding a youtube video isn't the same as posting a link.

I'm not sure I'm asking in the right place, but the prohibition against advertising/promoting is a little unclear to me. Does simply posting obscure bands or new bands count? Like, I'm sharing them 'cos I like them and I'd like other people to discover them kinda deal.

It's just about promoting your own music.
Promoting a friend's music in a spammy way is also frowned upon.
Apart from that, feel free to recommend us stuff.

Alright, cool. Thanks for all the help so far, by the way. B)
