valley_parade:
I'd go with three or four as a maximum.

Aw, but c'mon, Sean. Don't you love sloughing through people's entire music collections?
sean:
Man Matt as much as I do...

--- Quote from: Jeans on 20 Jan 2009, 17:34 ---I agree with shutting down the mediaf!re thread for a while. Where it used to be a place to post music you wanted people to hear, now, a lot of people upload giant batches of music. Entire discographies are nice and all, but I don't think downloading an album to check out the artist and downloading the artist's entire collection of recorded works is equally defensible from a moral ground - I am coming off as more than a little preachy here, but honestly, I think that as fans of music that is as dominantly released by indie labels as this forum's readers seems to be, we have an obligation to actually buy albums too. I used to be of the naive school of thought that if people stop making money of music only the dedicated artists will be left, which would have been a good thing, but then I realized most bands rely on being able to earn a dime off their albums to record albums and have time to tour on top of it - Joe Lally (or was it Brendan Canty? Someone find their copy of OBCBYL!) of FUGAZI, for instance, was reluctant to go on tour before he saw it was economically feasible.

The mediaf!re thread feel like a giant garbage dump. In there is something that somebody will find cool every once in a while but the rest of the stuff is just trash. And it sucks and is horrible wading through it. Kiff's suggestion is a pretty good one, if we are to continue it. However I just think it needs to be put down. As Darryl has been saying, it makes us fat and lazy. Finding new music from it nowadays is so boring. We can start making finding music more exciting again by not uploading it and making the kids use google blog search or some other tool to find it. At least then your digging a little bit, instead of just picking it up off the ground. And the megaposts are just horrendous. They never have any sort of description ever and it is just boring. As it is right now, I really dislike the mediaf!re thread. Perhaps another incarnation of it in the future could be better, but now it is just kind of shit.
(beause i am concerned with these kinds of things)

Basically two reasons why megaposts sucks. 1 album per post I feel is a much better way to go about uploading. And try to make your album posts more interesting. You don't need to post leaks, anybody can find those. Post a rare album you have come across, or something by a band not a lot of people listen to.

I was being facetious...

i think a one or two album limit would be acceptable
