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!
