It's been an incredible journey, filled with countless moments of musical discovery and camaraderie. Your contributions to our community have been nothing short of extraordinary.

Now, we know it's been a while since we last gave our beloved website a fresh coat of paint. Eighteen years, to be exact. And we hear you – it's time for a change. That's why we're excited to announce that we're rolling up our sleeves and diving headfirst into a full-scale revamp of WatZatSong.com!

What does this mean for you? Well, get ready for a sleek, modern redesign that's as easy on the eyes as it is intuitive to navigate. We're cooking up some exciting new features that will take your song-naming adventures to new heights. And rest assured, we're not just focusing on looks – our team is hard at work behind the scenes to ensure that everything runs smoother and faster than ever before.

But here's the best part: none of this would be possible without you. Your passion for music is what drives us forward, and your feedback is what keeps us grounded. We want to hear from you every step of the way – What do you love about WatZatSong? What could we do better? Email us at [email protected] anytime. Consider this revamp as much yours as it is ours.

While we're eager to bring these changes to life, we want to be transparent: this process may take quite some time. So, we kindly ask for your understanding and patience.

Thank you again for being a part of our community. Here's to many more years of music discovery and friendship!

Warm regards,
WatZatSong Team

Uploading Bigger Files with Extensions MP3, WAV and OGG

Post by Czar »

Dear Friends,

As may be most of your already noticed, you can now upload bigger files (up to 25MB) with extensions MP3, WAV and OGG. We have also added a loader, so you don't have to wonder what is happening while waiting for your file to upload.

Your suggestions and/or comments are always welcomed

Hi! It's really useful that you've improved upon this. Thank you for the update. One suggestion: Right now people have to rely on sites like Vocaroo to upload full-length versions of the songs they're looking for. It seems to often be the case that a solution to a sample would be easier found if people had the full song, since the song title could pretty much be one part of one verse that we don't have, or part of a chorus that we don't have. There's usually a request from someone asking for a longer sample or the full version in the comments, and the original uploader might or might not see it, or doesn't know how to do it. In some cases, people at first even disregard the request, thinking that they already have uploaded the full song, even though WatZatSong automatically cuts longer audio to 30 seconds.

Would it be possible to find a solution for people to be able to host audio files on WatZatSong that are longer than 30 seconds in the future?
That would be very helpful.
Thanks!

Firs of all thank you so much for your feedback. We have been discussing this case and thinking about a possible solution.
Unfortunately WTZ might have legal issues due to copyrights if we allow uploading longer than 30 seconds songs.

Below are some ideas:

1. When uploading a longer track, implementing a software that cuts it to 30 seconds tracks and user can play them one by one. However we still don't have a conformation if this is legal or not.
2. Implement an automatic upload procedure to sites like Vocaroo and auto post the link back on WTZ so you can easily play it
3. Allowing users to upload more than one track, again, 30 seconds each

Your ideas and feedback are more than welcome!

There are specialized file hosting services like MediaFire and Mega that offer free and premium plans for uploading and sharing large files. These platforms often provide additional features like password protection and expiration dates for shared links.
