NEW PROBLEM WITH 4SHARED ! ! A solution.

Recent uploaders to 4Shared may find that the last 4 secs or so of their upload is missing. This can also happen at the beginning but is not so common.
Dont know why this is but a temporary solution would be to add a few secs onto the end of each track.

ALTERNATIVELY - why not give SOUNDCLICK a try. Its more Band inclinated and not quite so user friendly until you get used to it, but its not a bad site for storage and you can copy the Song/Tune URL into your ShadowMusic post just as you do now.
Advantage is that it is also picked up by Radio Stations (mostly USA) and I have found a couple of my tracks (What Do I Do With My Heart and Alentejo being played on them - BIZARRE!!).
Worth a thought.

Hi Ian,

Are you going to ask for play fees?

Just listened to Ian's version of The Savage from his other thread and the Soundclick version certainly started playing loads sooner than anything I've had from 4Shared.

Even though I have fast broadband, I find it can take an age for files to start playing depending on the time of day.

Great track by the way Ian.

Cheers
Barry
