i agree that comments should be kept for the original thread...ie: links available if people wanted to give opinions.
the reason for this thread was simply because i wanted to do it for myself, it has not been done before, and i am already too much of a self righteous cunt to do it on my own.
i already pm' ed swamper, but it would be nice if more than just 5 people thought it would be a good idea....
this would in no way be exclusive, so long as the people who submit put the effort in to making their sets properly labeled.(tl/label info/genre)
fair is fair...no half assed shit.
i will say label info is important...not only does it promote those who make the sets possible, it is just good practice.
I do think that at least asking those who participate in it to adhere to a general form would be good - and to that end, wouldn't it maybe be easy if there was some sort of template (copy and paste or some silly flash app - doesn't matter) to make it as easy as possible to keep it as organized as possible?
Also, one concern is how will it allow for new members to participate and get equal exposure after the thread has gotten huge?
I don't know - maybe that's not even a big deal, but it would be nice to basically have a searchable database rather than a thread where depending on when you got in, you'd get more or less exposure.
You're going to run into problems with dead links all over the place, I would imagine. Anyone that doesn't have access to proper hosting will have their links die in 3-6 months or whatever, using Sendspace/Megaupload etc, unless they remember to update their shit all the time.
I'm always happy to host sets for people, since I get so much wicked music from all the DJs here, and I have way more disk space/bandwidth than I need, but I can't do it for everyone, obviously. It's a pretty busy forum
I really like the idea though Jay

The design of http://www.mixdepot.net is pretty good, and I've been whoring myself on there since 2006
