HxL file naming

[FlyingJesus]

Not a huge deal but if we're going to pretend that HxL is some sort of authentic online radio station despite every song being illegally downloaded, can we at least get the DJs to mask their crimes properly and name the files in a way that doesn't make it look like they're cruising LimeWire? They're all over the place at the moment with variations on where featured artists are displayed and all sorts and it's really just lazy.



This is from the "show" (ie: hour-long stream without taking requests) that just finished. Unnecessary random extras in orange, feature differences in lovely brown, cheeky bit of same artist in red literally after just one song, and then the monstrosity in pink at the bottom that I nearly lost because HxL only (publicly) logs 9 songs apparently but that was a couple before Ulrik Munther. That's just a sample from the last half hour of a Head DJ's slot.

Not everyone is guilty of this but it happens far more frequently than it should - have seen things like "TRACK 10" and "deluxe_rip" in the past and no-one seems to be bothered about fixing the presentation at all


ps please also get rid of that monstrous jingle that's like 20 minutes long and has a load of celebs saying their names and stuff

There's a thread in Head DJ+ which allows Heads/Managers/GM team to post if they're have been issues such as song name, duplicate artists and such. Usually it does get dealt with via PM or Skype (depending on how bad it is), but thank you for bringing it up - it helps when the people who can report it aren't online/listening!

This has been happening for years, HxL is on life support...

It's pretty embarrassing to be honest, particularly from where it's come from. It makes us look unprofessional and is also illegal. We have actually flagged this issue numerous times and had a thread just 2 weeks ago regarding this, as we had an influx of cases. Thus, this shouldn't really be happening, so not sure if messages got lost in translation or something.

It's actually normally the really inexperienced trialists that do it, but people adapt. I will make sure we are on this much quicker and emphasize this to DJs more.

I cannot be on 24/7, so thanks for this and I'll take appropriate action.

Well this has been a problem since I started at the start of 2007 and this was before the peak of HxL. So you really can't link this with us being on life support.

People would have listeneded but are never going to buy songs when they're a volunteer DJ. I doubt there's any DJs solely play bought music. You will all download some at some point.

It's just slack to be honest and looks awful. I would suggest this thread doesn't stay here either because if habbo read this, I don't think they'd keep habbox official?

It's kind of like don't ask, don't tell. If a song is titled correctly and is of 320 kb/s, then we can't tell how they do it. But it's so obvious if you have titles like the above examples and that's what we need to control. It's not the best public thread, you're right, as it does cross legal issues, but it's an important one that trust me I know and have known for a while and we will try to relay this as much as possible to DJs.

[Inseriousity.]

The amount of PMs I got when I was AGM about song titles and it's not really a problem that goes away completely because new staff come in and they need to adjust and new songs become popular and perhaps in their haste to get what the listeners want they just play it as soon as theyve got it rather than cleaning it up. If they're a head DJ though they should really know better.

If Habbo did that, there wouldn't be any fansites remaining.
