Streaming is, de facto, "too" bad. There iis no way for anyone to skip to a certain point (time) in any given song. I cannot critically analyze something over progarchives.com before I buy it now. Also many people desire to save an mp3 or two onto their computer for whatever reason... can't anymore though. Thanks streamers. |

Well, I for one am a musician and I have MP3s posted on the site, I am a little disappointed that they are down, because I feel that in this type of music many of the songs require repeated listenings to fully take effect. I certainly have downloaded MANY songs from here and put them on CDs to listen to and ended up buying many CDs by artists I did not know after hearing the songs and getting to like the music. I would hope that could happen again, in our tight knit community it is important to protect our musicians rights, I agree, but I, for one, am very happy to allow our music to be downloaded, if it helps people to get to know us and like our music. We are all here to discuss our favorites and dislikes and DISCOVER our next favorites, I would love to see that continue. |

i prefer the mp3s to be honest. i also think that if you're gonna stream the music now, rather than let people download, you should make a 'progarchives' radio - where people can see ALL songs available on the site on 1 page and play what they want without having to browse artist pages plus, isn't this new way gonna vastly increase the sites bandwidth...? edit: also, can you make the stream player show you how far through the song you are? ------------- www.myspace.com/songsofexile">

Okay mister five stars, you are right about keeping PA up, even if it means streaming/not downloading. But have you ever seen streamers that let you seek to a certain time in the song?

And that's exactly why record companies don't like the practice; if we downloaded every MP3 available from this site, we'd have no reason to buy CDs for a while... no sheckels going into the already overstuffed corporate coffers, but also no sheckels into artists' pockets. That said - if you use MP3s to sample a band, then go out and shell out your hard-earned to get the CDs, MP3s can only be a good thing; record companies should see them as they are - generally, free advertising. Right - all this sitting on the fence is makin' the old bum sore: I WANT THE MP3s BACK! -------------

I agree... it dosent work properly as it is... also many ppl including myself that uses thiis site rely on dialup... using dialup to stream means that the down load speed is not able to allow you to play the song as it... You listen to a 20 second segment after about a 30-60 second download, and then the sequence begins again... Most of the prog bands i like (as well as the kraut rock) are from the more mainstream arena (u know... Pink floyd, Hawkwind, Yes, et al) and i want to hear what the more obscure bands sound like. I do not have the money to get broadband, or to buy albums 'blind' solely upon the introductory explanation of the bands music, and the reviews on the albums themselves (different ppl have different opinions). Because of this, i would like to listen to some music, even if it only one song, so that i can decide whether to part with my hard earned money to get such a treasure. These mp3s have already possessed me to have bands like can and gentle giant in my cd collection, something that would not have happened otherwise. Sure the improvements will make it a bit better for some ppl to listen to the music (see above... what IS going to happen to us dial up ppl), but its not the same, and it appears to be due to corproate greed. Besides, I thought this site was meant to promote progressive music and the artists that perform them, NOT the record companies that have made it quite clear that the short term 'buck' is more important than the music they produce. Also, with their behaviour with charging some ppl over having recorded music, why give them respect... Of course if the artist protests, then fair enough. But all of the complaints that I have heard (except the famous one where mettallica sued napster) have been due to companies... I want progarchives to continue, as it has brought greater attention to the music, but how do i know what i am buying. Not

A few points to add. Firstly, many of the old MP3s were of a questionable choice anyway. Some of the tunes selected were not of the best representation of the artist(s). Guess what? I downloaded a handful to examine in my spare time, only about five remain UNDELETED!!! - not because of the artists, but for the choice in the sample. Secondly, where I live in country Australia, there are no record stores carry more prog than the Spice Girls! And, I AIN'T GOING TO BUY ANOTHER ALBUM ON RECOMMENDATION, EVER, OVER MAIL ORDER - unless I had a chance to hear it first! I bought hundreds in the past, many were disappointing. My Internet connection speed of 19200 bps (on a good day!) taking about over an hour to download one average lenght tune. Surely, it's not a bonanza for me!!!!! - but affords to have an idea at least of the style. Which brings me to: Thirdly, Streaming is great as long as one has a connection speed allowing multiple listening without interruptions (provided your PC can replicate the sound better than a pocket radio!!!). Most prog tunes benefit from careful and repeated attention, music interrupted every few seconds will surely not be of much interest. Fourthly, record companies should rub their hands over the free exposure provided by the odd tune and I'd be surprised that they would object to that. Indeed I assume that they may have someone to examine trends and prepare releases according to public opinion, of which the Archives is a great vehicle. Lastly, with MP3s gone and Streaming is a privilege of a select few, the Archives have just lost an important advantage in promoting lesser known performers. |

OK, I follow you. However, that's assuming you can actually stream the entire song. Other people have pointed out that it's not possible for everyone to do so. Also, if the computer on which you're downloading doesn't have a sound card, you can't do it (that's not an unrealistic situation - while I was studying I had to use university computer labs in order to download the mp3s, which I would then take home and listen to). Just one question, has there been an official explanation as to why the streaming as opposed to downloading has been implemented? I don't recall seeing one (and I'm too lazy to go back and check the previous posts in this thread  ).------------- Be or be not. There is no question. - Yoda, Prince of Denmark |

I've never seen any Ayreon tracks here. If they had been here, I would have downloaded them . Of course, the complaint could have come in before I joined.I know you've probably considered this M@X, but couldn't you just remove the mp3s of those labels that have complained, and leave the rest here? I would have thought that it would mean that only a small percentage of the bands featured here would be affected. This means that people like me who can't stream the files would still have access to them (Marillion playlist still loading after 5 hours). ------------- Be or be not.

Random playlist / genre playlist / playlist by date-added / custom playlists are all great features. I would add playlist by year released as well, if practical. Of course, that could be prone to error what with re-releases and compilations, but it could work. For those of us who listen @ work with T1/T2 or @ home with high-speed internet, all of this is great. I will probably benefit from it in the long run. I do, however, sympathize with those who are stuck on dialup and don't have a desk job with access to broadband technology. On a related note, I had been downloading MP3s from here alphabetically for the last month... I had merely gotten through most of the A's. :-( |

Well, just played Marillion fine using Firefox 1.0.7. Still not really a fan of streaming but if those mega rich b*st*rds who run record companies feel they are losing SO much money by people downloading a few sample tracks then i guess there isn't really a choice is there...! A lot of these media companies (TV, Film and Music) will have to adapt to the internet sooner or later. BTW, I think you did a good job implementing the streaming function, it's one of the better one's I've seen.  ------------- http://www.humanism.org.uk/site/cms/contentChapterView.asp?chapter=309" rel="nofollow - Humanism |

Works fine here and looks good but are you going to change the look a bit to fit in with the rest of the page?

So, Cuneiform objected? Rather silly of them considering that I mail ordered many of their releases in the past and only a few remains in my possession. More importantly, they are amongst the reasons why I won't buy through recommendations anymore - unless I can sample what's on offer.... Sadly, Cuneiform is off my agenda as it is. |

Of all companies, Cuneiform would be one of the last I'd suspect of objecting to this. ------------- "In war there is no time to teach or learn Zen. Carry a strong stick. Bash your attackers." - Zen Master Ikkyu Sojun |

Sorry for not getting back to you M@X, I'd left for home before your messages came through. I'm using Firefox 1.0.7, so I don't think that's the problem. The connection speed could be the problem. I've no idea what it is - I'm working at a university, and using their internet connection, so I suppose it's faster than the average South African connection, but it's not blindingly fast. Although I was able to listen to Welcome Home from Coheed and Cambria's official site, so I don't know why that works, and PA doesn't. ------------- Be or be not.

| Can't you simply cater for the complaining labels? I hear if you snip 10 seconds off a song, that makes it a sample - therefore it's legal. Could you do that for the bands in question and leave the other bands as it is? |

There is no such rule ... even a 1 second clip doesn't automatically qualify as a legal sample. Although it's very unlikely that someone would complain about it. ------------- https://awesomeprog.com/release-polls/pa" rel="nofollow - Release Polls Listened to:
