Release id #61617 : Dialogue (Wally's Tetris Poem)

Maybe somebody can shed some light on this: this tune was part of a demo, was never released as a seperate entity. Now, for somebody (Stainless Steel) to make a .prg out of it, then to add it as a new entry to this database kinda strikes me as being wrong. Has this ever been discussed before?

Well, let me think.

Why would i make a demo and use someone else's music, instead of my own music.

I could do a remix/cover sure, but thats not the point.

I can see where you are going, in any other case your reasoning would apply.
But for a musician to use someone else's music is like a coder not coding his own demo.

i can see your point, and at the same time i dont agree :) many coders frequently use code from others (for example, loaders).

the lameness starts when you pretend to have made it yourself.

My point is, I'm a musician myself
(at least i like to think that, others may disagree).

I really don't see the point of making a demo for anyone else's music than for my own (and no, making a psid exe out of a tune doesn't count as a demo).

If i was to make a remix/cover of my favorite tunes (not unlikely to happen) yeah sure.

But i don't see any point in cramming some popular sid's (in their original version) into a disk menu just for the sake of the csdb rules and regulations.

Ok, my coder example wasn't the best. But i think you get my point.

Isn't it ironic that the very same guy you are so fond of, Hein, has actually released several demos with music by others last year?

Now my guess would be that he did that for the exact same reason you describe: that he loves those tunes ;)

Thats all fine and dandy, but totally not the point.

My original intent was to finally be able to make comments and votes on my favorite tunes.

Lets say i don't see it happening in a realistic time frame, no offense.

maybe, like so many other things which are on the "wanted" and/or "todo" list, it will take time. things are beeing added, one after the other.
