    inb4 People start pming/vming saying they can't access the new link on the navbar and asking 'what is it?!'.

    The new system that caused the earlier error and now sits in our navbar innocently is a database/organisation like system intended to replace the Google Docs media list for the EPR radio station, you will be able to view all our tracks, artists right here on the forum along with an abundance of useful information about each.

    As a viewer you'll be able to subscribe to an artist, being notified of any additional tracks by him/her we upload, you'll be able to rate and view most of the songs even if there not on air over at the radio (ah the wonders of youtube embedding), search by name, tags, artist and/or album.

    If your an artist yourself, you'll have the ability to get feedback on your tracks, receive ratings, communicate with your fans, set track licenses (a field dictating your views on people using your music, yes/no/yes if credited), provide a download link (optional ofc), stand out with a personalised artist icon (self-provided) - attach your forum account to your artist folder for ease of contact (people find track, pm you etc) and more!

    There's a lot you can do with it really, I didn't even get on to mentioning featured tracks or 'what's hot and what's not' functionality - Sadly it might be a while before the system is accessible to the public there's a lot of bugs, uncertainties and the like to iron out, not to mention the necessary population to match our already huge archive - But we hope to see it active by the end of August - I can't promise anything though!

    Anyway, that's that ^^

    Hey, I might start uploading whatever pony music I've made. Which is like, 2 songs.

    Seriously though, an excellent feature, and one I'll be using a lot for sure.

    ^Really? Idk.. If LS give the all clear that would still be useful lol? This is merely an archive - It's nothing to do with the player, it's not even directly associated it has to be kept up to date manually, it's just a lot easier than doing it via docs (not to mention much nicer!).

    Do I have to tell you bout it?
    Shall I try python to exe on it?
    Or try porting to C++ or a .NET
    Its not really that complicated.

    Ugh idk that depends, seeing as you were accessing LS's servers for an account not your own, yes you should've told me but no I meant I would have advertised it a little, but nvm ey =/

    wait wut? which script we on about?
    the media list one uses the google docs songlist, all it dose it download it, parse it and organise it by artist
    then provides a searching feature and a random button.

    Why do you think Im allways so eager for the lsit to be updated?

    It's taking a while and it's far from perfect but the EPR Media section is coming along nicely!
    We hope to release it very soon!

    There's not much to rush, we've just got populate it and I hope I haven't hyped this up too much... It's just more convenient that the EPR Media List - It's nothing groundbreaking or revolutionary lol.

    This all sounds amazing.

    What happens with ponies like me who make PMVs to other ponies music, are we group together for feedback and rating or are we 2 separate slots on the radio?

    Well we could sub-artist but then you'd have a bazillion Setzer's under each and every artist he did o_O
