SocialPlayer for Java doesn't read id3 tags in files NOT CBR 128

~ 5 days ago by tulse (Views: 61 )

So here is a problem.
If the mp3 file has bitrate CBR 128 kbps, it is OK.
If it is different, then SocialPlayer can't read it.

Another Music Player, the built one in Nokia, does see these tags in all files and show them.

Also SocialPlayer does not send any info to last.fm, even when it can read these tags.

Can I have a workaroud, or is it possible to have this feature in future releases of software?

All Points West Music & Arts Festival

~ June 24, 2008 at 13:24 by musiklvr (Views: 86 )

ALL POINTS WEST MUSIC & ARTS FESTIVAL is set for August 8, 9 and 10, 2008. The three-day, multi-stage music and arts festival featuring a wide variety of artists including Radiohead and Jack Johnson will take place at Liberty State Park in New Jersey, a historic location offering panoramic views of the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island and the Manhattan skyline.

The festival’s name is inspired by the area’s rich history, particularly Ellis Island and the NJ Central Railroad terminal located on the festival site, where many arriving immigrants boarded trains for ALL POINTS WEST. A portion of the event’s proceeds will benefit “Friends of Liberty State Park.” ALL POINTS WEST is produced by Goldenvoice/AEG Live and Liberty Events in association with the HighLine Ballroom.


Tickets are still available. Click below for more info.

Social Player For Samsung M520?

~ May 26, 2008 at 16:27 by dasfox (Views: 151 )

I just recently found out about the Social Player for J2ME unfortunately it only seems to support Nokia phones.

Does anyone know how I can see about getting support for the player for other phones added in the future, also does anyone know a way in which I might be able to get this to work on the Samsung M520?

THANKS

iPod Touch not syncing

~ May 12, 2008 at 8:59 by junj0u (Views: 156 )

I just got an iPod Touch yesterday, and now when I try to sync it with MyStrands, it says "no iPod recognized, plug in your iPod and try again" or something to that effect. What do I need to do to fix this?

When will my music be added to MyStrands?

~ March 30, 2008 at 5:19 by andygrant (Views: 206 )

I uploaded my album onto indie.mystrands over two months ago, but it's still saying 'waiting to be uploaded to mystrands'. Have I done something wrong, or does it normally take weeks before it's added?

Tip of the Week: Uploading Music

~ February 26, 2008 at 11:22 by Muzika (Views: 281 )

**NOTE: Uploading music at MyStrands is only available to Indie artists through indie.mystrands.com, so they can promote their music and get heard**

While we’re on the topic of independent artists and Indie.MyStrands.com, I think we should take a minute to talk about how easy it is to upload your music to MyStrands so everyone in the world can hear your sounds…

So you went to indie.mystrands.com, registered for the site, received the confirmation e-mail and clicked the link to activate your account – now what?! Well, it’s simple. You’ll be guided through a process of submitting some info about yourself as an artist (name, biography, musical influences, profile pic, etc.), and when you’re done with that its onto the fun part – THE MUSIC!

Once you are done completing the basic information, you will come to a screen like this:

From here you can choose to either upload individual tracks, or you can upload a full album (EITHER WAY, be sure to turn your pop-up blocker OFF... you will need pop-ups for this step. This is crucial!)

If you choose to upload a single track, it will look like this:

If you want MyStrands users to be able to download your tracks, simply check the "Download" box (after reading the Terms & Conditions, of course)
... I know it's very similar, but if you choose to upload an album it will look like this:


Something to take note of when you're uploading music: sometimes it can take a while. If your files are large it will take a moment for them to upload to our servers, and sometimes it will take some time (days in some cases :-/) for our servers to display your info on MyStrands.com - so please be patient with the process.

And from then on, when you visit indie.mystrands.com you will see something like this:



Use the tabs on the top of the page to navigate your account, edit your info, and upload more songs to your page and your albums.

Hope this helps - and as always, if you have any questions just ask them in the MyStrands Forum!

Tip of the Week: Promote Indie Artists

~ February 20, 2008 at 13:23 by Muzika (Views: 418 )

Got a friend with a band? Or maybe you've got one of you own and are looking for some airtime... either way, Indie.MyStrands.com is the site, and you are the person to make it happen!

MyStrands a great place to learn about music you might not have otherwise known about... we all already know that; it's why we're here isn't it?!?! But it’s also a good jumping off point to get your band (or your friend’s, cousin’s, mother’s, brother’s, etc.) heard by the world.... and best of all it's free! Go to indie.mystrands.com, register for the site with your e-mail address, wait for the e-mail to show up in your inbox, and start promoting!

Here is a screen shot of the first page of the registration:

From there you can upload photos of the band, create artist bios (if you have more than one band you can create multiple entries too!), upload albums and tracks. Once you complete the sign-up process and upload tracks, your songs will be played through the Personalized Indie Radio and heard by MyStrands users around the world....

Tip of the Week: Music by Genre!

~ February 12, 2008 at 14:01 by Muzika (Views: 249 )

I know, I know. This is really simple okay – but I was so caught up getting recommendations that I liked listening to that I didn’t bother searching for myself until now. Under the MUSIC tab on your MyStrands home page go to “Browse” (mystrands.com/browse) and you can look at various genres of music.

Artists are sorted alphabetically, and let me warn you… there are lots of them! So if you plan on just browsing, you might want to call your appointment and push them back a couple of hours. OR, if you know the name of the artist, song, or album you are looking for, just search! (Pic below)


Oh, and one more thing: this works with MyStrands.tv too! Scroll to the bottom of the TV window and click on any genre you want to listen to. Within seconds you should see streaming videos of artists, interviews, concerts, and music videos from that genre.


Happy listening!
