Release id #65161 : Musax #34
I thought we've recently settled that releases like these shouldn't be filed under "C64 Music" but rather as "C64 One File Demos"? Violator, would you be so kind? |

Yeah, well, I wrote this from work. And besides, I wanted to bring the whole topic to public attention, there can be confusion sometimes. |

I have to disagree.
The program is just a tune with a logo and some text, released clearly as a rip.
There is no 'demo' anywhere to be seen in this. |

"c64 music" is reserved for standalone music releases which were made by the original authors. "music rips" are demos, small ones indeed. (if "just a tune with a logo and some text" wouldnt qualify as demo... then most of the stuff from 80s wouldnt qualify as such either =P) |

Should we invent a new category "music rip" for this? |

Ok Groepaz, I understand.
Then I think Steppe's suggestion is valid. |

i dont like the idea of adding yet another cathegory at all, imho we already have way too much of them. especially when it comes to music- and graphic- rips vs demos the line is very blurred, and we'd find ourselves discussing over and over if a certain release is the one or the other. afterall, the demo scene pretty much started with crackers doing "rips" and releasing them as standalone "demos".
to pull a famous example, what's Game Music I ? music rip or demo ? and why ? |

I'm convinced, you're right. |
