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
Markus / LMan |

I think it would be nice with a mp3-link! |

Drax: There is one, right under the screenshot. Point is, the download links are for c64 files only, as this site is for and about the c64. |

In my opinion. External links to video captures or or mp3 recordings from real machine are OK, because they extend "reach". Even when audience is C64 scener, he still can have problem to run things on real machines due to various reasons. |

I'm not offended (also merry xmas), but this site is for c64 scene history, not archiving files in formats designed for PC's and car stereos. Most of the people who use the site know how to use a .sid file, d64 or prg. If they don't then hey have no business here anyways.
I got aggro because mods kept removing your file (because it's against the site rules) and you kept reuploading it because fuck the rules right?
Put it on your soundcloud, dropbox, googledrive, whatever, and make a link to the file if you feel the need to do that, please.
Also someone deleted my comment again right after we had a discussion about this (admins pls). |

Ian, good point ;-). Of course recordings from SIDplay are retarded.
Fungus you should learn good manners. And not only around CSDB, but also in general. It's kinda stupid to learn that you bitch about me and insult me on IRC, while as I clearly stated, I never removed any of your posts. Merry Christmas to you too. |

Hey by writing "I admitted" to recording from SIDPlay, you make it sound like I was hiding that fact. I was always open about this. My philosophy just differs from yours.
@Fungus, I initially linked to mp3s after seing that others did it, as there were no specific rules against it. I never uploaded mp3s directly to CSDb, others did that. I ONLY reinstalled the mp3 links after asking Hedning about it, and after an internal discussion I was told that EXTERNAL LINKS to mp3s were okay. If you think that entitles you to calling me names, it's you who has a problem, not me.
Anyway jeez, 1st world problems. Just enjoy the music guys, emulated or not, mp3 or not. |

Hey CreamD, you're reprimanding Fungus for his manners, yet you agree that recording from SIDPlay is retarded, indirectly calling me retarded. Thanks, now I'm truly offended. Not :D
But seriously, none of you guys ever noticed those were emulated recordings, yet you totally go crazy when learning the fact?
Today's SID emulation is fucking awesome and I give huge kudos to those who make it possible. |

LMan hook up with Xiny6581 he might help you with recording from real machine. Or anyone else you know who does that. SidPlay "recordings" doesn't add any value. |

I agree on the level of emulation which today is good enough but don't you think that an mp3 from sidplay/w sounds exactly as the sid played with sidplay/w by everyone so it's useless? A mp3 recorded from a real machine instead could show many differences from emulated sid, especially for some 6581 which have unique sounds. |
