well it's a practice i am guilty of along with quite a few others here..but feel guilty as heck everytime and now leftrightronic raised his distaste in this practise..so i just wanted to get an unofficial opinion poll going here..
What do you think of this practice? People shouldn't do it at all?
People should do it in moderation? People should feel free to do it?
np: some crappy trance tune with a 5th element ripp off vid on the telly

well, i think spreading music out over the net is great.. it just seems a bit mononataneous for EVERYONE to always make a new topic for a track they've just made. if you mention you make music people will naturally click on your nick and surf to your web page to download your songs. or just use a signature type deal and put your page link there every time you post.. that'd be a little more subtle than filling up the board with new topics about your latest song. i'm merely stating how i feel and i don't mean to upset anyone. i see it as coming down to how you and your music together are perceived..
..like, for example, you are less likely to buy a widget if a telemarketer calls telling you how great it is and that you should buy it immediately, compared to you wanting to investigate and buy it when a bunch of your friends tell you that it truly is worth getting. dunno if that makes sense, but that's the best example i could find to explain what i mean above, and how the music is perceived.
:F

though i dont fully agree with you..I did say before that you have a right to your opnion..I just want to read a few more opnions on the topic OKAY?
no hard feelings but i dont want to see if asking people to listen to your song in say once a month or longer(which I do?) is actually having a negative effect..and pissing people off and hence achieving the opposite of what these innocent posts are intended for...i.e are we making an arse of ourselves for nothing?

nobody does..I said the most extreme..because i want to gauge if that song is suitable for a project I am working on with someone or not...my own influences include some pretty harsh stuff..my background is in Industrial..and listen to a lot of Panancea..new Speedy J and Rdj's hardcore stuff etc..so harsh..melodically barren is fine by me but I am not sure if it is for this particular project..

Adding a link on the message board is cool email spamming isn't. I like getting the opportunity to hear other peoples music. Especially when they have somewhat similar musical taste (such as the people on this mb).
btw: fat kaimo your music is amazing. It makes me happy : )

yeah i don't think anyone is sending emails here... it's about "spamming" on this board, promoting stuff making posts.
and reflex i don't think that my music is crap... subjective though...

I've listened to most of the stuff. I wasn't very clear with my "makes me happy" comment. It's not the mood of the music but rather the fact it's so good.

I think its fine so long as it isnt by someone with under 10 posts who is obviously just trying to get exposure. I think if its kept on a reasonable level and done by people who actually do spend time here theres nothing wrong with it.

My best friend sends me his music all the time over AIM, which can get a bit tedious, but i understand he needs input. It's important to get your music out there so people can hear it. I usually dont have the time or patience to download everything i see posted here, espcially if i don't know what kind of music i'm going to get. I don't discourage it though - there are some really talented people on the board.
My friend said posting his stuff at mp3.com was a great way to get his music distributed too.

sorry if I didn't make the subject title clearer..I was not talking about spamming emails..I meant the board..and I somewhat agree that your very first few posts shouldn't really be about your own music..but I guess i can understand the need for your music to be heard...I mean it's not like there's a big audience out there for what we make..and hence finding people who are interested in similar experimental music who maybe willing to listen objectively without screaming aargh! at the first few notes is a real bonus..and in my case the spamming does not acquire me more hits on my account or the chart postioning etc at mp3.com, i.e I am not getting paid for it..it's is genuinely the need to share what you create..as is the case what most I am sure..
and I strongly disagree with REFLEX...never once have I come across music that wasnt worth my effort to listen to upon checking out a link posted here..in fact I have found tons of talent and novel ideas on mp3.com and on this board...

Iv dont it... and i dont see anything wrong with it if your just trying to get oppinions. I figure its a good way to find out what appeals to people. But i do agree its not cool to promote yourself on your on the board. For that would be spam in its purist form... but i have yet to see anyone on the board do that.
