That's not possible.
Also, there are already 2 threads about this.
Making the custom view mode even more custom

3 new releases every day is not something I consider flood really, but raising the level somewhat :)
2007 - Anything and everything is possible still. |

it really cracks me up how some group releasing stuff may be annoying. is for you the definition of a good scene: a dead scene ? |

Well I myself quite enjoy having new wd music releases each day to listen to after getting home from work.
Keep on flooding CSDB with those nice tunes :) |

Hmm. If you have so many tunes to submit, why not put them all on to a .D64 and release as one file (Music collection). You wont need to make a music selector if you or any other members don't have time to do a collection. However, on the more positive side. I would like to say how I am pleased with the activity, even if those unreleased tunes are/were done in the mid-late 1990's :) It is nice to see what hidden gems are lurking on your old work disks :) Keep on composing.

i have to agree with richard somewhat... digging through old disks and releasing whatever unreleased stuff you find on them verbatim isn't quite what i'd call activity either =) lazyness would be a better word for it =D |

@Groepaz: I am sorry to hear that. Is all the important activity at csdb just lazyness? yes it IS really that simple, according to your logic. |

I say keep 'm coming.
As single releases.
Not all tunes are equally good, but the sheer amount makes up for that ;) |

Teh releasing it positive. The packaging (or the lack of..) is negative. |

Indeed.
Anyhow, would it be possible to raise the view of Latest Releases on the front page from 5 to 10? Five are really few really, not only in this case, but also after parties with a high quantity of releases.
I know "Latest Releases" can be clicked on to view more, but still... |

Statically showing the 5 latest releases is maybe not the best idea. Maybe better to show last weeks releases or so, or last 3 days.. possibly customizable since each user probably knows best how often he/she usually visits CSDb.. |

Hmm, ok. but someone wants to *not* be notified about a certain type of releases. ..like when a certain scener/group releases more than ~3 releases during the same day.. Hmm.. Not so easy anymore ;) |

@hcl: best way would be to crawl back into the old c64 mode of working = no internet, no irc, no csdb & only a party once in a while + swapping discs :)

Is there any way of browsing the last N releases that are (eg) demos? I can't see any way to skip past all the cracks and music, while still sorting releases by date :) |

Its a difficult topic, i agree.
I have mixed feelings about wd's lates release spree.
While i do like seeing new stuff being released, i do feel a bit bothered when i see the last 20 releases being single tunes from wd that were made 10 years ago.
Ok fine, ED's cleaning out his closet. Nothing wrong with that.
But it seems more like emptying the trashcan when i see the amount of single tunes being dumped out with so little enthusiasm.
Ok sure, lets all go and grab every piece of unreleased scrap we did the past 10 years, make it executable and trash csdb with it. right on!

@Stainless Steel: If you bother that much, you would probably have seen, or will see that not all the tunes are 10 years old. ;D
You may call it trash. But be careful with your generalizations, please.
Other than that; I could not agree more to what you are saying about uploading material to the csdb. There are a few but very active people here uploading on a constant basis (just look at the huge material of old cracks, and even old music collections that have appeared over the last few days!)
The goal of csdb is to gather as much information as possible about the C64 scene. The sceners, the groups, the releases and events, and as much information about these as possible. All in all this is something we all must contribute to. So yeah. Go and upload and produce some more!

Well opinions may differ. I am not making any statements about the quality of your music, but the way you are presenting them to the scene.
I had written a lengthy rant but decided not to post it ..
Releases are good, we agree there. But a little more effort wouldn't have hurt.
You can code, you can do gfx and you got tons of music.
Well, there's one conclusion that could have been made, but you decided not to.
Its a free country, do as you please.

@Stainless Steel: Thanks. There will be room still for a collection or two, a demo or something. ;) |
