Since Arin posted his, here's mine!

So any of you cats that are feeling nice enough to give us some plays, we'd appreciate it!

You have to let the songs play all the way through although our counter has been broken for weeks. It's been stuck at 79 since day 2.

I'm going to vary the songs from day to day to avoid monotony for those willing to help us out.

If anyone else on here signed up, post it here!

Jeffrey....gotta support my home town boys! I listened to both of your tunes....btw, the counter worked, I logged number 83 and 84! Cool tunes and good luck!

Thanks koogs.

I'm playing Ran and Phatty's tunes right now. Gonna try and hit everyone that posts in this section every day.

I thought I'd give your songs a listen for some hits today before I crash.

Oh...I'm really sleepy now - yeah right! Nice!!!

Oh god please no talk about the play counter!


Glad you guys are using the website. It takes a ton of people to make the Battle of the Bands happen, and we like it that people use our site and participate in the contest. I'm personally vocal about the site and very proud because my portion of the work is pretty much invisible. The amazing artists and designers here make the site look wonderful so who wants to look at the code right?

Anyway, good luck to all the participants. Remember, I'm on the other end of the line when you need help, so if you need anything, I'm here for you.

The site is excellent!

It's just that the counter seems to be a bit flakey sometimes.

Also, sometimes the song will just stop prematurely (not just to my page, but others too) right at the very end but not give you credit for a play. If you hit 'play' again, it starts over from the beginning.

No one is ragging on you though man, excellent work.

Well we move the play count "trigger" around the player to keep you all guessing. The play count is, I assure you, a proper count but because of people running automatic scripts I had to make the "play condition" pretty strict to make sure it was humans listening, and not some auto script upping a band's plays. As such, when something isn't 100% perfect the script rejects the play thinking it's an automated call to the script.

I'm sure it's tricky to encode.

But it was just frustrating for buddies that were trying to give us plays and it would stop halfway through then not play anymore forcing them to re-start, etc.

We just fixed up the player so any problems you are having should have vanished.
