where you at Andy ?

up here https://www.soul-source.co.uk/rare-...ewcat.php?cid=2 6 years on and the tape that Ian them passed on still going strong

yeah it still a soul music site shallow

they're fast cause the flash player only works with files encoded at a rate of 11.025 kHz 22.050 kHz or 44.100 kHz it is the only drawback with using a flash player but as was the same for the gallery thinking is it was worth using it did put together a guide with the info, but does seem that this has been overlooked/lost amongst the other posts can find it here /index.php?showtopic=33097 and will add link to the upload page Submitting Clips please ensure that do fill in the artist and title and other info if possible (avoid commas, quotes etc) Clip format - all clips at the current time must be in mp3 format due to the flash streaming -player they need to be encoded at a rate of 11.025 kHz 22.050 kHz or 44.100 kHz Clip Size - apart from radio or sixpacks, clips must not be larger than 2 mb

you can hear the version dodger was on about and rest of cd and some other stuff at https://coastaldistribution.com/home/compon...id,5/Itemid,26/

major problems today still looking into it whats going on and whats causing it ask bear with us

probs with site should now be sorted if do get any errors please inform via site stuff forum ta mike

split this topic from another thread as thought work better Carl hopefully the titles ok

the trick is like in normal conversation, if dont like the subject or where its going then either start up a new one, or try and take it elsewhere

sometimes on here I find myself looking at the top to remind me where I am

the clip up policy is the same as before as long as its not high quality, available on offical release then there should be no problem the clips in the refosoul library are clipped and uploads moved into there will be clipped by the system bit rushed reply gotta shoot mike

may be that Pete do try and post all site stuff in the site news bit so anyone like yourself coming straight into the forum who may otherwise miss news and stuff like it can see can understand why people give that bit a miss though, due to the title etc so maybe a re-think needed info on it all is up in site news mike

sounds main meat of Kens post was sounds am lost why the criticism the new sounds feature should offer the same features as before and would say easier uploading etc than before along with easier listening via the forum, one click instant play etc etc now its intergrated with all of site and so clips should be easier to find, and the final version should make finding related info, links artist etc the new format also allows site to offer a 7000+ clip libary that will be updated with the clips users post that satsifies all aspects of copyright isues imo and should build up to a usefull resource libary type thing again have to say lost by the criticisim plus to be honest the lack of use this has attracted since opened it does the same job as before but better, it offers more features and when final will offer a worthwhile free research resource have to ask am I missing something here ?

as you are one of worst offenders maybe worth saying again do not appreciate offensive language or images, this is due to following 1. not all members appreciate offensive language or images 2. the site is public and open to all, as a guide on what is acceptable the site uses the uk daily press as a guide, we work on the theory that if its ok for a uk daily paper then its ok for here 3. work filters - many members use site at work, some places have offensive language or images filters set up , have found this can prevent members viewing site 4. adult content - the use of offensive language or images can result in the site classified as adult site, this would have a negative effect on site via search engines etc there you go...

last time looked ( a couple of months ago) Winnie it was about 900 members had posted at least one post in the last month bit lost where the jokes bit comes into the equation, all members are free to post jokes etc up in freebasing section

asked all the mods to hold off replying on this thread before I post up my bit thanks to Ken for his post always welcome feedback and always more than happy to answer any points On the forum and mods some of the issues raised have been answered elsewhere before and so have done it both as a reply here and also so can use it on the site info bit afterwards, so may read a bit general on the issue of forums and moderation - have answered below will answer the other issues rasied in a bit forums and moderation mods The make up of the mod team hopefully represents a varied cross selection of members . Their brief is purely and simply to help make soul source more enjoyable. Rather each forum sort of reflect the mods who look after it, giving each their own feel/taste rather than say the way bbc does it, have no desite to adopt a post "your post has been removed due to it not complying etc etc " sort of system with bland faceless moderation Understand that not everyone may find some mods style or take on things to their liking, but to be blunt that has never been a major concern. The main thing is keeping the forums worthwhile and enjoyable and unfortunatly due to peoples posts it does mean at times they have to step in and take some action. Have to say am more than happy with all the current mods and the way they do things and what they bring to the forum, guidelines/moderation Terms of use - is the backbone of what the site works off, last time looked only 100 or so have read it, it is generic, but working off that has been proved The idea of all moderation is to try and keep the forums - worthwhile and enjoyable Moderation on site - its up to the mods of that forum to decide if moderation is needed on any post, they are aware of the guidelines and I personally trust and respect their judgement. Do ask use common sense with applying the guidelines, and know that do take other factors into account, and due to this this it can make the moderation look uneven to members if not aware of all the factors. This is one of reasons why always shouting for people to post if have any probs with moderation or site, if you do have a problem and let us know, then can at least pass on the reasons why moderation was carried on, dont ask you to agree or nod your head when hearing it, but at least by posting concern the site is aware of it The aim of all moderation is to keep the forum enjoyable and worthwhile, if a post is moved, edited or deleted, there is only one reason why that has been done... to help try and keep the forums enjoyable and worthwhile content idea of different forums is that people can get to the topics/content that they are interested in with out messing around if do prefer the one forum approach then the "new posts" feature sort of allows that but when posting, do ask that you post it in the right section so that members who use the traditional method don't get hassle of unwanted posts in the wrong section endnote Do rely on all members espically long time ones to help avoid unnecesary moderation. It is all about keeping the forum worthwhile and enjoyable, and its a right pain having to move or edit posts and all the other hassle that get when felt action is needed. Do ask all members to bear in mind that there is only one main reason why any moderation is carried out on here... to try and keep the forums enjoyable and worthwhile

ken try renaming the .wav bit to .mp3 before adding lot of features both now and in future with the new system, wouldnt want worthwhile contributors to be missing out mike

seems has done some stuff over the years got something later by him and there's stuff around earlier than his famous track think he has changed the spelling of toones a couple of times as well but not much/any bio stuff around anyone?

long time readers of this may remember this 45 featuring a bit over the years, from my first attempts to get home with the track name in memory and then finding out it was a cover to when posted that found the group that Major Williams formed in 70s at the time it was still covered, the group had no internet prescence and only got in touch via emailing clubs the group were playing at eventually got in touch, but as soon as single was mentioned the talk finished been told since that they had been already approached with a view to a uk release but they were not interested with recent respark, had a look to see what group was up to Found out they do have a website now, worth a visit and if you goto the music page can listen to a 4 min plus version of Girl Don't Leave Me The Major Tones Band, featuring Ray Williams well got my ears going was going to post clip on here but then though a bit (actually did post it but took it down after 5 mins or so) my thinking is that this group have put out this track available to download free and while easy to pass on and post here and other sites think would be a good thing to let them know the interest in the original versions and this one, other wise it be lost and by downloading it from their site rather than passing on via non related sites they may get a idea and some acknowledgement for their work here's the link to the site https://www.majortones.com/

took a post down ,as havent time to post the full info will repost tomorrow

as on a mission for next couple of hours moving stuff over to the new sounds feature felt a need to jump in on this and pass on that while have a hatload of radio to work through and get up here in next few weeks currently you can find 15+ shows already up at https://www.soul-source.co.uk/rare-...ewcat.php?cid=3 featuring a fair few familar names both own shows and guesting more be added as get round to it but a shout to any member who has any fresh quality shows stashed away on pc in mp3 format ask hit that link and then hit that submit and throw them up 15mb limit at moment as long as its quality its welcome top tip 3244 - can add shows to your playlist and then can launch the remote player and listen while browse all over the place
