Ok, that bit I don't really have a problem with (I think). It's the divshare bit - I think I'm going wrong with making a playlist (which code to use, when embedding it here etc...) I think I'm only trying to share the one song, instead of the whole folder - how do you do that?

The above post is why I plan on posting it in a zip file on rapidshare or yousendit or mediafire.

Three of my tracks are protected. Anyone know an easy way to deal with this?

If I understand you correctly, form the dashboard page @Divshare click on the folder you want to "up" here in the forum.

You should get a page that shows all the files within the folder.

Hover over "share" beneath on of the files within the folder and you'll get an embed link for the entire folder and it's contents.

That's what you'd paste here.

Looks like this:

I seem to be doing everything right then, but it's just not working. How about if I send you the embedded code via pm, and you kindly do the rest? Would that be possible to do?

Thank you! I don't get why I couldn't do it - I'm normally really good with this sort of thing . . . well, there was that one time when I typed 'google' into google and the internet blew up, but that was a one off

Stupid question: I've uploaded my songs to divshare... now how to I create a playlist?

[jimmyjimmy]

Stupid question: I've uploaded my songs to divshare... now how to I create a playlist?

Create a folder, move them into there; ( You may have to upload them again, I dunno. I saved mine initially into a folder).

Once they're saved in a folder, the embed code from any individual file within that folder will display it as a playlist.

 

 

PS: Although not technically participating in this "swap" between you folks, I've only been helping for the selfish reason of possibly discovering stuff I missed out on this past year.

 

So get to cracking!

[Mystik Spiral]

OK, here we go. Hopefully.

 

 

I started off with about 25 songs and started whittling down. I got to 11 and couldn't decide which one to give up. So I didn't, it's my top 11 songs of 2007:

 

01 White Rabbits - While We Go Dancing

02 The Arcade Fire - (Antichrist Television Blues)

03 Emma Pollock - Paper And Glue

04 Iron & Wine - Resurrection Fern

05 Andrew Bird - Armchairs

06 LCD Soundsystem - All My Friends

07 The New Pornographers - Myriad Harbour

08 Menomena - Muscle'n Flo

09 The National - Apartment Story

10 Okkervil River - Plus Ones

11 Bon Iver - Re: Stacks

 

No real order, I just tried to make it flow (which I'm not real good at anyway, so...).

 

EDIT: Huh. That's not in order. Oh well.

[bjorn_skurj]

I think I bought precisely 0 new releases in 2007, so I won't be posting a mix, but I am enjoying the ones people have posted. Thank you all for doing so.

My Top Ten plus One

 

These are not necessarily my best songs of 2007, but they are the ones that summed up my year.

 

1. Fiery Crash - Andrew Bird

I spent a lot of time in airports and airplanes over the past year. This song sums up the feeling of waiting helplessly in Airports, and the only way to have a good flight is to imagine it crashing before you get it on.

2. Goodnight Rose - Ryan Adams

This song gets me every time. It is kinda cheesy, but damn if it doesn't make me want to go follow the Dead

3. I'm impressed - They Might Be Giants

TMBG is the first band I started liking on my own. I was glad to see them take a more rocking turn on this song. The kiddy stuff can get kinda annoying.

4. Wild Mountain Nation - Blitzen Trapper

I just found out about this band a last week. Described as Pavement meets the Dead scared me away, but damn if this isn't a fine album and a great song.

5. Between My Legs - Rufus Wainwright

Ah Rufus, you are so unabashedly gay you nearly become a stereotype. Do we need the Phantom of the Opera reference in this Song, no. Did we need the album of Judy Garland covers, prolly not. Are you one of the best song writers alive today, maybe. This song goes from Rocking to weird in the span of 4 minutes and 30 secs

6. Life on Mars - The Bad Plus

From their release Prog, takes my favorite Bowie song to its natural prog-rock/jazzy conclusion

7. What Would Jay-Z Do? - Ben Lee

I love Ben Lee, yes he has been described as a rainbow riding a unicorn, but damn if he doesn't write clever pop songs. And who hasn't wondered what would Jay-Z do?

8. All the Old Show Stoppers - The New Pornographers

Damn, damn, damn. Is there a better album out this year? Is there a better song on the album? I'll fight you if you want.

9. Lyndale Avenue User's Manual - Atmosphere

Remind of the early fall days of living in Minneapolis.

10. Dreamworld - Rilo Kiley

Yeah the album was boring, but I really like the Fleetwood Mac-esque song on this album

11. It's Only Divine Right - Michael McDonald

technically from 1979, but unearthed this year, it is truly a great song. Unfortunately the audio recording does not do it justice. Check out the video

 

I could figure out the Divshare thing so I went with the original spirit of the thread and went through you send it.
