Release id #144000 : Wowzer
Dear moderators,
I've seen my mp3 link for this release has been removed. We had this discussion earlier and it was decided that links to external mp3s are okay.
Was there a policy change?
Thanks

Well a constructive discussion often leads to good things. For example you could consider allowing 3 types of external links: Website, Audio, and Video. With that info you could even have a HTML5 player interface on your pages. Those would be nice features, without tainting the download database. |

hosting avis, why not ? preserving the scene doesnt mean it must be done in the original format only. modern formats would also mean a bigger audience. in 10 or 20 year it wouldnt be a problem to have all mp3's and avis on a pendrive or sd card or whatever I bet.
anyways its just my opinion dont take it as an attack, csdb goes on however it wants, its not my business. |

PDFs were also not used back in the days but can be found on csdb ;).
(slightly ironic comment *g*). |

Seems to me that most of the music, demos and artwork are mainly NOT created on a c64. Yet, they still run on a c64. This is the exact same as it was in 1987 onwards for many of us. At Graftgold, we used PDS - a PC based assembler - for programming games. This allowed us to run on a c64 and debug / code / create audio / graphics on PC. Sound familiar? If we want to talk about keeping the scene "real",... Well, to me, it still is. The likes of Ash&Dave used PDS for a number of their Compunet demos too.
And we're still using whatever tools and tech exist to make stuff and let others hear/watch/play.
I can watch a YouTube video from a Facebook one of a brilliant c64 demo. That's a blessing. No amount of hardcore elitism makes me feel like I'm losing out by not loading it from a c64 disk. Hell, even the speakers I'm listening through will make any music sound different to how you hear it. Should I only listen through a CRT television from 1984 too, otherwise I'm not being hardcore enough? So griping about MP3 as a format vs a .SID ...Jeez.... For me, I'm still experiencing something wonderful. Many brilliant, creative, people who are creating great experiences for us - and for free. Something that, after 25 years of being away from the scene, I've been happy to be part of again for the past 4 months. But, I'm happy to just upload to soundcloud, if things get to nasty around here. Happy Christmas. |

This is why I do my recordings independent. and As said before - I am always open/available when it comes to SID Recordings. :)
Also yes, I understand(running my own site), audio/media files do eat up space incredible fast. External links are okay.
Anyhow, it seems all good now.
Peace out,

I have tried adding the Boar's Head Tavern to that listing without luck, and there is no response when trying to email the address on the contact page. Who runs it?
