audio fragments

[the2stranger]

hey

sometimes some artists or genres aren't really well known, and so I thought:
would it be possible to have a song sample or fragment added to the review, so that people can get an impression of what the band's like?

I haven't really worked this stuff out, so I don't know if it's possible, but I thought, let's share my thoughts.

feedback would be appreciated :)

On an external server, I guess that would work. There's always the copyright question, you don't know who get's uptight about samples from songs used, even if only parts of it.

Because of the server load and the traffic it would generate, I doubt mx would be willing to host it on the MX/MXtabs servers, but if you have an existing adress to an existing song sample (Amazon, bands webpage, label page etc) why not inculde it with the review?

Basically, I think that is a very good idea

thanks for the response

and linking to samples on amazone, or a site isn't a bad idea, but the con is, that there aren't too many samples of unknown bands there.
but we'll see,

thanks for your time
