Nice heads-up there Steve!

So anyone going to have a go at this - Looks like an excellent opportunity for all you talented Mixmeisters! to show them hows its done!

OB

Lets go for it guys.Over the past few weeks/months there have been some cracking mixes across all streams WE HAVE THE TALENT....LETS USE IT

what's the deadline?

*edit...nevermind...I found it...it's November 30th

Oooops ... I just noticed that the rules require submittal of a track listing in this format ONLY:

quote:

Once your mix is uploaded send us an email to: djcomp@traxsource.com with the:
The exact file name of your mix
Tracklisting in this format: "Artist - Title (remix) - Label"
Your name

I'm just guessing, but I'm pretty sure that well over half my digital crate has no reference to label ... it's not something I ever included when ripping CDs, and I'm pretty sure that emusic and other digital download services I've used do not provide it either (emusic says that the ID3 tag info they use comes from the label, they don't create their own.)

Some labels, like OM and Kriztal, when they do compilations, will use, e.g., "various artists OM Records" in the artist name field, but that is an exception, not the rule.

The typical fields that are populated in just about every mp3 file are Artist/Title/Album -- not label.

Am I the only one with this issue? How are you folks handling this?

Thats a bit tough - I have no idea either which label did what...

Like MD says could try discogs...buts its a bit pita...Probably the last job before submission.

I'll try it but I'll probably run the names thru early on ... no point putting the time in with tracks that I can't submit for lack of a label name.

BTW, does "white" qualify as a label ID?

Perhaps, your set will be all-"white"...


I'm just waiting for some inspiration for my competition set....

Is everyone else steaming ahead?!
