Quick question

[Life on Other Planets AKA Johns]

How would i go about putting sample tracks on here for just streaming. What i mean is instead of clicking on a link to take you to another page how and what would i use to just give you guys the option to stream a sample? example


Donnacha Costello - Still Music

****Insert Stream here*****

Re: Quick question

Not possible.

Rent some webspace from the fantastic mjwebhosting <-- you know it makes sense -Upload the demo to your ftp and post the link here. Streaming at it's finest.

Re: Quick question

Yeah you need to host it somewhere else first. If you look in the webhost forum, there are some special packages specifically for DJs who want to host/stream their sets. PM Kamal, I got my site hosted with him.

Re: Quick question

Just give you guys samples. Like use soundforge and cut from say 1min to 4 min in the tracks and post em. So you guys can buy what u like. I just got a whole heap of really cool deep house sounds I need to update the chart page though.

Re: Quick question

For what I know, if you want to stream, you need a streaming server.

With RealPlayer, you just create a file on your web server and call it whatever.I.want.ram
In it, you just type the url of the streaming ( rpm://url/my.file.rm )

In the forum, you just make a link to your file on the web server and it will launch RealPlayer who will connect to your streaming.

Real pain is that you have to convert everything in RealPlayer format in order to do so.

You can also use a shoutcast server in order to stream mp3, which I never have.

Or create a youtube account and post everything there and just share the link

Err why not just link to the relevant Beatport or mp3 site?

Re: Quick question

Point taken hahaha .. Cause when u use beatport and just send a link for 1 particular track it does not work. It takes u to the homepage of beatport.

Re: Quick question

Yes, for what you wanna do, it will be easier to just chop a piece of the music, convert it to mp3 or ogg, upload it on a web or ftp server somewhere and just give us the link.

Re: Quick question

Nice track.

Is this what you want?

Beartport certainly doesn't have the most intuitive way of sharing a release link, but if you dig around enough you can get close to what you want.

You can't get an exact link to the specific track, but you can link to the EP it's released in.
