Uploading files to t'internet

**rainbowffolly** · 05-09-2008, 01:37 PM

I've got a few tracks recorded that I fancy popping up as a chart (including Jimmy Tarbuck's version of "All My Loving"

), but as I've not done this before I'm after a bit of advice. Where's the best and - safest - place to upload music files on the internet, and what's the preferred format (e.g. MP3)? Any other advice, like safest naming so they're less likely to be removed, will be much appreciated.

Cheers,

Stuart

i use divshare. never a problem. upload as mp3s. prob best at 192kbps. unless it's tracks by very famous or famously litigious artists, it is unlikely anyone will care to remove them.

I use badango for mine. mp3s at 320khps.

I DJed a private party once - Jimmy Tarbuck was one of the attendees - he came up to me early on in the evening to say "I hope your not going to play any of my tunes tonight are you, ha ha"

indeed.

ive been using boomp3.com latley.
is pretty quick to upload and you have the option of download/ listen or just listen. which is pretty good if you dont want people stealing your unreleased recordings heheh

You should hear his version of 'I Should Be So Lucky' -

+

Actually, if anyone has a copy I really need one - the only one I've been able to find is in Sweden for some reason.......

**purple_pill67** · 05-09-2008, 03:39 PM

music to poor that even Senor Trunk didn't include it on his recent give-away cd. and there are some nasty nasty things on that.

**Lord Thames** · 05-09-2008, 04:23 PM

There are few musical depths I haven't plumbed - what give-away CD's that, then?

**rainbowffolly** · 05-09-2008, 05:05 PM

Thanks for all the advice - I've managed to get them popped up on DivShare and posted them in the "Charts" forum.

Yes, I was wondering that. I must have put about two grand in that bloke's pocket - where's my flipping giveaway?

**eclectiktronik** · 06-09-2008, 12:34 AM

fileden.com is versatile, i've found

um, a thing he sent out with stuff about 2 months or so ago, a "celebrity special", with tracks by Bruce Forsyth, Mike and Bernie Winters etc. not for resale, promo only etc...

I too have plumbed those depths!

Mike Reid did a couple of Lps in the 70s, as did Brucey. I also have Bernard manning 'my kind of music' (and no, its not nazi songs

just MOR ballads) .

almost all dire beyond belief apart from a few quirky arrangements on one Mike reid Lp.
I believe the Dennis waterman stuff has the odd gem but not yet checked it out!

**rainbowffolly** · 07-09-2008, 09:39 PM

Oh, there's definitely some real gems to be plundered from the open cess-pit of celebrity recordings. One of my faves is Bob Monkhouse, doing a lovely Mark Wirtz produced 7" on CBS, called "In My Dream World" (it ended up as a hidden track on one of those "Circus Days" LPs and took me ages to find).

**alanmck** · 07-09-2008, 10:07 PM

the trunk thing has a very unusual selection, and the sequencing is unique in modern times:

bruce forsyth
terry thomas
mike and bernie
ronnie corbett
bob mitchum
dick emery
leonard nimoy
cheryl ladd
walter matthau
benny from crossroads
telly savalas
john travolta

mmmm. just what i was thinking.

keep up the good work, senor trunk.

Ever heard his version of Adriano Celantano's 'Presincolinainsinaincuisol'? Genuinely brilliant - I prefer it to the original, not least because of the incongruity.

I like the thought of a Monkhouse/Wirtz collaboration - must look for that!

**rainbowffolly** · 07-09-2008, 10:12 PM

I'm burning a few CDs to take to Brillo tomorrow, so I'll add it to it, and hold one back for you if you're there tomorrow.

It is a truly wonderful track!
