Re: Music Archive
No, Ken, you were correct. I fixed it.
Here's the thing. If you send in nine entries under the name "The Seamus Collective", and then one under the name "the Seamus Collective", both will get indexed as "seamus_collective", and the latter will overwrite the former, leaving you with one entry, no matter which one you pick from the archive list. The way that I fixed it was by capitalizing the first letter of
"the Seamus Collective", which served to put them all in one archive.
My post script was just a warning to other bands that the same thing will happen to them if they fail to use the same name every week. We submit under the name "Octothorpe", for example, never "octothorpe". I cut and paste the band names right out of the email each week. When I notice a mistake, I correct it. If the submitting band forgets to tell me their name in the body of the email, I take it from the file name. When they call their song "rattlesnake.mp3", I try to figure it out from their email address. It would be much easier if they just typed their (correct) band name into the body of their email, but people accuse me of being intolerant when I say that too often, so, um, never mind. Have fun people. I will figure it out.

Re: Music Archive
I am sure it is also easier to remember how you submitted your band name when you submit 40 some odd weeks in a row. What was your record?

Re: Music Archive
I think it would also be a lot easier to deal with if the system didn't have these case-sensitivity issues, or were a bit better written when it comes to how it actually generates the archive files. Or if it were just database-driven to begin with.

Re: Music Archive
Personal experience says it's a lot of non-fun to get a system like that written and up and running. Enough non-fun to make it less annoying to deal with these issues.
Song Fight could be the exception, of course.

Re: Music Archive
Yeah, I second the database idea. If you guys could just afford to pay my bills I would love to quit my job and work on something fun like that for 6 months. Think about it.

Re: Music Archive
Most of my songs are missing in the archive, regardless of capitalization issues.

Re: Music Archive
It is NOT regardless of capitalization, it is a direct result. I changed all 27 Roymonds to roymond, and they have now joined the 5 existing roymonds for a total of 32.

Re: Music Archive
Is it just me, or is the little icon with the hand pointing to the right, used for navigating to the next fight (by date), when viewing a fight's page in the archive, not there anymore? I only see the link for navigating for the previous fight.

Re: Music Archive
For some reason... when I click on the Archive, by Artist... it freezes my web browser to a crawl... (I assume because it is massive...) both in IE and Firefox... perhaps you can list only the first group ($#@$%^1234) and you have to click on the A, B, etc... to access the others?

Re: Music Archive
It comes up in a flash for me. Do you have "Expand Archive" selected, by any chance? Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

Re: Music Archive
3 gigs.
I don't see any flash? Also where is expanded archive? It pops up with a long page with every band name ever submitted.

You think it's slow now - try clicking THAT link.

Re: Music Archive
Oh I see... no. I just click Sort By Artist. It's weird. It doesn't freeze on my iPhone browser... until I click on a band from the list.

Re: Music Archive
I have found over the years that different people have different expectations, and different ideas of what is slow. How long does it take the list to show up? And how long does it take an individual band's page to show up? It takes around 1-2 seconds for each of these from my connection, which I consider speedy, but I know people who would consider it slow.

Re: Music Archive
It's not... slow... it locks up the web browser so as I cannot do anything else with it.
edit: I have to Cntrl Alt Del Firefox & IE and have to restart my iPhone... maybe it doesn't like ME

It all works good on my end. The expand is only about 2 seconds, tops.

ujnhunter, what extensions are you running with? Firebug in particular tends to cause these sorts of problems.
