The soundcloud player window doesn't seem to have a volume control. Is that something you can add? I guess if it won't carry over to the next song, then it's not worth it, but ...
When searching to see if something's been previously uploaded, searching for a partial band name results in "that's in the library." You have to type the artist and song title before it lets you proceed but since there are those false negatives, it's hard to know if it's really there or if you just typed it differently from what's in the library.
On the song info, you say "check if you can provide a FLAC or Apple Lossless file" ... I assume a rip from CD via itunes is okay for that?
Yes. iTunes rips are fine if you use ALAC (Apple lossless) format.
Yes. Rebecca goes through the submissions & then either makes an immediate decision, or passes them along to you folks for comments & opinions.
If a live recording is available as a CD or high-quality download, that's fine. We just can't use stuff that's only available on YouTube. The audio quality just isn't there — and there are potential licensing issues as well.
Okeydoke.

It looks like that particular live version was released by Merge Records on vinyl and MP3. I missed that show unfortunately.
I have it (and have the video d/l too). So I can rip that track. It would be better to get on with a fade-in/out but maybe Bill can do that. I'll put the song in the submission zone.
I guess there's still a holding period for all submissions... you or Rebecca will move it over to the list once it's passed the smell test?
You specify that you don't want live recordings and I understand that and agree, generally. But there's one song I'd love to hear on RP that's very much live and I don't think a studio version exists. I'll post it here for your perusal

We've replaced our old file-upload system with "Song Submissions".
If there's something you think we should be playing, find a YouTube, SoundCloud, or Spotify link for it (or any combination of those 3 — the more the better) & submit it to us. We may make a decision on it ourselves, or ask for your opinions (go to the Submissions page to see how that works).
As with all new features, we encourage you to play with it, break it, and let me know what's not working properly — either here or in the Bug Reports topic.
