We want to know what you think of it so far including any suggestions you have for improving the Library and any bugs you run into while exploring!

Post your thoughts here or tell us what you think in the above poll! (If you want to know who to direct your praise towards, Justin/Forgott3n is the reason it looks so snazzy )

Lots of love,

Sharifa xx

Question: Do we need to sign up there or can we use the info on this account here on the forums?


FUCKING AMAZING!!

[Sharifa]

It runs on a different account system (I was thinking about getting it work with the same account but it opens us up to a lot of hacker vulnerabilities so I opted against it). Unfortunately you'll need to register for a seperate account, but for most functionality you don't need to register!

Oh my freaking hell!

It's amazing, ahhh!


But is it just me or is it loading really slowly?

[Major Tom]

That's groovy.

But why are some players MSWindows and some Flash based?.....and will there be embed codes later?.....and who is this girl in most of them, she's kinda swanky.

First option
It ran great. It slowed just a little while test-downloading, but other than that so far its amazing.
Great job.

The Flash converter we're using has limited conversion abilities which means that wmv files will load with a standard Windows player rather than the Adobe Flash 9 we're running right now.

I'm investigating another player that might work better for our purposes but we'll make that decision at a later time after we're done with the beta testing.

The site's been loading slowly for me too - it seems to be a bit touch and go with the speed. I'm drafting an e-mail to our host to ask them about installing something called Squid Cache which is what sites like Wikipedia and YouTube use to keep things running fast.

Sorry about the speed issues for now but this is why we beta test

Right now I have that feature turned off but I can definately enable it if there's demand

I just want to watch how our bandwidth goes over the next little while to make sure we don't kill the server, but if we're not eating up too much bandwidth, embed links are definately doable!

Oh man, I love you guys! This idea is the KOOLEST!!!!

I'd just want to ask something... In the "Terms Of Service", you don't specify what kind of content is illegal, I mean, for example, am I allowed to upload the "Avril Lavinge Influences" album I made myself? (I mean, zipping all the songs)

I wouldn't like to see my IP blocked from Bandaids
