I think this actually crosses a line, that line being "when speakers literally start dying".

That distortion was actually in the track though, it's not likely to break your speakers. Unless you had them too loud to begin with.

Is there a way to look back a bit further in the playlist? Lets say - just hypothetically - that someone was collecting info on interesting dongs, and then a bad thing happened and the file was truncated.

What about re-uploading/replacing dongs that look incomplete? I was going to add this to the playlist but it's supposed to have a running time of 5:53. There was one other track I saw like that, but it was only missing about ten seconds.

Also, aside from wasting time at work the best part about being in chat has by far been finding out about http://whatthefuckshouldimakefordinner.com. I spent all goddamned morning laughing like a retard over HAVE SOME loving FESTIVE WREATH SALAD. Gbs.fm is the best thing ever as long as your musical taste has no amount of quality control. Thanks for the hard work!

yes, and i'll implement a way of doing it just after doing dong timings, bulk edit, and my solution to the halting problem

For something like this grab Doc0 in IRC some time, he is a huge Coil fan and has a massive collection. It could be a truncated upload or it might be a different version to the one you have. Once he's checked his original against the upload either a replacing version or an alternative version can be uploaded.

Alternatively add it to the playlist anyway, if it cuts off mid song and is corrupted someone should report it.

If you see what looks like a broken dong, or its really terrible quality, upload a nice version - properly tagged - and report the old one as a dup of yours, saying you've uploaded a better quality/fixed version, for us to merge.

Good advice to triple check, especially Coil since they often have a bunch of different versions. However, in this case it looks like it got chopped. I upped the Coil pretty early on and I think the FTP was having issues. I'll fix it when I get home.

PS: Add more Coil

Though I'm sure we're pleased that we can finally play Red Queen without requesting a temp unban, I'm going to edit playable versions of other 'Musick' tracks. You know, to keep the darkness sealed within.

Peachstapler: please don't, when the listener count plateaus we will be happier to unban long tracks. Just like on the first version of the station we don't like home made edits (see also, looping a track or uploading tracks together, which we went through a page or two back). Please only upload band released edits/remixes etc.

The main exception to this rule is tracks with dead air, it's fine to get rid of that. I would accept anyone splitting a single track concert up into distinct tracks, but can't think of any other acceptable circumstances.

But, we did make edits for those tracks in 2004/5 and played them often, it was easier than logging into IRC and hunting someone down to unban something...

They're edited and up'd, if you want to delete them just dive in, they're at the top of my recent list. No tears will be shed.

Cheers Peachstapler, there's only a few of the mods active at the moment in IRC, I want to poll their opinions before making a final decision. Personally I don't want to set a precedent, but I'll let you know what the hive mind comes up with.

# ? Aug 20, 2010 20:16

Keru: Aug 2, 2004; 'n suddenly there was a terrible roar all around us 'n the sky was full of what looked like 'uge bats, all swooping 'n screeching 'n divin' around the ute.

It's possible those edits were grandfathered in from before the rule existed on the old station, Peach and just slid by over time. Personally, I voted to nuke them since half the time they're badly truncated or some chucklefuck wants to edit a song down to just under the limit only to play it, regardless of quality.

Hey Peachstapler, had enough people pop by to make a quorum and sorry we're going to make it one of the official unofficial rules. (note to self: FAQ/Rules page).

For everyone else a quick summary, especially if you're new to the station

Don't loop a track so it plays more than once
Don't edit two distinct tracks together, even if one continues from the other without break
Don't edit a track for length to bring it under the length ban (currently 11 minutes), ask a mod to unban it (we will do this based on playlist length and there's almost always a few of us active in IRC - also we will have pms on gbs.fm at some point)
Different edits/remixes of the song are fine as long as they were actually released (please don't be a dick and use your judgement to decide whether a track is suitably distinct to bother with uploading another version)
Editing to remove silence/dead air is approved, especially as we will ban songs where it is left in. If a track does have dead air followed by a hidden track/second song etc, please edit out the dead air and upload each track separately
Silence is allowed in John Cage's composition 4'33", before any comedian decides to report it or something

If any of this isn't clear feel free to ask myself or another mod in IRC, and I'm sorry if this sounds preachy. We're trying to do things properly from the start this time. Last time so much poo poo was uploaded at the start of the station that even when it closed we still had mis-tagged stuff. As Keru said the rule on home-made edits came in during the life of the first version of gbs.fm.

Not a problem, gentlemen. You cannot have uneven ground when it comes to ground rules. Slippery slopes are unsavory, avoid them at all costs.

So were any tracks migrated from the old gbs-fm, or is this like a clean slate? I uploaded a shitload of songs back in the day. The comments on some of those old tracks were hilarious. Guess it's time to get crackin.

Some songs were migrated automatically, but all the comments were lost. You were a good uploader, I'm glad you're back.

Good to have you back, be nice to have some proper noise about rather than the troll stuff.

We migrated some stuff across, everything actually played in the last few days, the fine gold tracks (?), and then stuff from the beginning of the alphabet I think all of A, maybe into B.

Unfortunately we only got the music, no comments from the old station.

However we have lots of new users going wtf and such in various dongs and delfin is still kicking around, so the new comments you'll garner may amuse you. And of course you can still view the old site. It's sort of like our version of Archives.

Wait, so no Brain Damage and Eclipse? No Prologue and Twilight? No Foreplay and Long Time?

Edit: or for a real extreme example, technically Sun King, Mean Mister Mustard, Polythene Pam. and She Came In Throug The Bathroom Window are different tracks, and are divided up on the Abbey Road CD release just like that. Are you saying we can't edit those together?

This is just a guess, but check if your transfer mode is set to passive. Having a client set to active blocked me from getting into some FTPs for the longest time.
