Request for Music Forum...

Yes, I did a search before posting. There was a "Music ID" request, but that didn't warrant a new forum just for it. I think it was proposed at one point in time but got rejected. The search didn't pull up anything though.

I'm proposing a new forum for Music: anything and everything related to it. From instruments to bands to specific songs, there's a lot that can be discussed.

Many times in the Cooler there are threads with youtube videos of music but they get buried under the many topics that start every day. Having a dedicated music forum would allow people to show what they like, and actually show off their own work. I'm pretty sure we have some music aficionados and amateur musicians who would love to show their stuff.

If you have any questions please feel free to leave a comment.

Reasoning? I'd like to find out why people would object to this and not the Sports Forum (to be clear, I supported the Sports forum as well).

While I wouldn't mind a Music forum, I think it would turn into another 'cooler' in short order. And if you're using the Sports forum as an example, I thought that might be a good idea as well - right up until it was actually established. Now I avoid it like The Plague. But that's just my opinion, fwiw.

besides, most of you have lousy taste in music from what little I've seen. (ducks and covers)

I think it's a splendid idea. I think it would be more useful as a forum for people who play instruments to ask questions and some general music chat also...

Music forum, great idea!

We have sports, digital imaging, why not music?

There are tons of music related sites that use broadband to stream tunes. So you can't say this is not broadband related.

I would agree to this as long as discussions about ALL types of music were welcome, not just the music that the under 25 crowd listens to.

If I post something, I don't want to see "that music SUX, lolz!!".

~~sign~~ but have doubts about how mature people can be.

Re: Request for Music Forum...

It would have to be the moderator to make sure that kind of stuff doesn't happen. One of the goals of this is forum is to expose people to different types of music, old or new.

An idea would be to have 2 moderators, one on the east coast and one on the west coast to keep an eye out on this forum. There are also the "super mods" who could check in once in a while.

The kind of comments like "that music SUX, lol" would have to be moderated/deleted, not appropriate for this type of forum.

I hope that clears up that point for ya!

Edit: Another idea, if possible, is to ban people from the Music forum only who repeatedly post stuff that doesn't contribute to the forum. I don't know if it's possible, if Justin or another mod could chime in on this that would be great.

By the way, I listen to music from Bob Dylan up, and I'm 16. I don't know if you'll have that kind of problem with those comments often here

I'm not pointing a finger at you specifically.

Have you seen some of the comments in the Cooler in music threads?

That if there were a lot of music uploading going on, and/or links posted to other uploaded files, that the RIAA might not like it, and DSLR could be considered complicit in the affair.
Just a thought.

How are things are handled in the File Sharing forum?

It's not "File Sharing forum", it's Filesharing SOFTWARE Forum. There is no sharing of files on that forum.

All things relating to filesharing technologies. Please see the Filesharing FAQ for common questions and answers.

I don't think anyone is suggesting that file/music sharing be part of a music forum, so you can sleep easy tonight. That would be easy enough to stop if anyone got frisky.

All P2P has to do with Music is how the music is shared. Nothing, from the composition, lyrics, the music, instruments, band members, are touched by P2P.

The mean of sharing has nothing to do with the medium itself. It would be thefore very easy to move the innapropriate thread.

Not a bad idea. Could be a good place to talk about concert revues,new music-best places to find old music.
Like La Luna said hope is doesn't turn into "your band suxerz"

But there will be people who don't like some music, and will post that. If you moderate that stuff, it won't be much of a forum.

Discussion is good. Valid criticism is good. "That music sux, lolz!!" is neither. You don't need those types of comments to make "much of a forum", on the contrary actually.

Re: Request for Music Forum...

If I were to comment "I heard the latest album by whoever, and I thought it sucked" would it be so different than saying "that album sux big time!!"
It's kind of a fine line. One person's musical masterpiece is another's POS album of the year.

Just wondering - not as a mod but as a member. This request comes up time and time again. I am pretty neutral on the subject right now but I pose a question:

What would be the actual "flow" or thread type of such a forum that it would need it's own forum.

What topics need to be discussed in a specific music forum that cannot be posted in the public chat forums?

I for see the threads as being opinion threads of various artists or types of music.

How is that different than say "Timex watches are the best", then "yes I agree" then "Timex watches suck!". This is a discussion? No different than what we already have but geared and specific only toward music.

Take the sports forum out of the mix for the time being.

Will the threads be any different than what is already posted in the chat forums?

There's lots of things about music that can be discussed besides what is or isn't the "best" (which is part of the problem in social forums, that's ALL that is "discussed" usually). I think the idea is to have more than just a music opinion forum.

Let's see, there's:

Vocalists/styles/voices

Instruments/help/technical

Genres/Classical/Pop/rock/county/etc. and all their differences

Music theory

Recommendations

etc......

Music is a language unto itself, the possibilites are endless.

Technical aspect aside of some instruments people could share, popular concerts, shows, albums and collections could be discussed among music enthusiasts.

I believe a forum needs only to have a technical aspect, if even not the pièce de résistance of the forum, to be elligible.

I'm certain it would be as popular as the Automative or Wheater forum ...

I would think that it would be a lot of linking to videos on YouTube or something like that. People uploading artist's songs would be a no-no.
