I'd like to make a beat-tape, and I want to put it on a website that allows me to see how many people download it.

Any suggestions?

Mmm so I have to sign in.

You can't see number of downloads using sites such as H-Share, right?

m e d i a f i r e shows number of downloads and you don't have to sign in, not sure about h share

Does Bandcamp have something worth signing up?

applies tags automatically and coverart, and there are pretty detailed stats including downloads (specific tracks or whole albums) day by day, visits by day and from were (kanyetothe thread, facebook etc) and play counts per day, as well as whether the plays were full, partial or skipped in the first ten seconds, you can set prices (or free) for music and a bunch of stuff like that

you can add custom banners and things it's pretty great if that's what you're looking for.

It looks good. I also checked your Steamboat profile, it's cool. I just didn't want to sign in to another site. But if you tell me it's worth it, I'll do it

Definitely imo.

K, I'll make one when I'm about to release the beat-tape. Thanks for the advice!

Soundcloud is the best!

Downside is you have to upload everything in WAV or FLAC

Well that's not a big problem since FL allows me to export whatever type of file I want.

Plus, WAV > MP3, right?

Yeah, but it's larger so upload time will take longer.

Again not a problem, I can wait

Then band camp is a great option for you

How can I upload an entire album on Bandcamp? It says "New track", not "Album"

 

[Ivy Crimson]

soundcloud + bandcamp

You have to upload each track 1 by 1, and click "Part of an Album"

 

[truman]

You have to upload each track 1 by 1, and click "Part of an Album"

And you can then download the whole album or you have to download every single track?
