The music community online - psychosapien - 27-11-2014
Hi all,
I'm pretty new here but I have essentially ended up here whilst looking for a music community to join. I've been bouncing around different places trying to find somewhere that is friendly and diverse. I make a lot of music myself and most of the places that I have been seem to just be either over saturated (like Youtube) or full of trolls. I'm all up for a bit of banter & constructive criticism but when people just respond with "U SUCK LOLLZ", it doesn't strike me as being the most hospitable environment! From what I've seen so far, MD is the kind of music community I have been looking for :biggrin:
One thing I'm interested in though are the different social media sites people use and what kind of vibe they get from them (outside of forums). I'm doing a bit of research for promoting my work in the future and trying to share & get some ideas on what I can use, especially relatively new sites that have a bit of a different kind of following.
One of the more interesting ones I've stumbled across so far has been Zugme. I was reading up on different sites and this caught my eye.
It's essentially just another site thatallows people to share music an videos but the general community onthere seems to be incredibly friendly and diverse. I was really interested in the way people can upload audio blogs as well, it just seems like a really cool idea for doing a diary of recording an album or something like that. Also just the way you can post stuff linked directly to a city kind of caught my attention, being able to link everything to your hometown or wherever it was done. So there's a bunch of cool stuff about it and it's not just music but there's a whole load of posts about food, travel, comedy, movies etc.
You'll have to forgive me for waffling on but it's something I've looking into for quite a while now. What kind of experience have you guys had with the music community online? Anyone use Zugme? Also, if there are any other sites that people use then it would be great to hear about them!
Thanks!

THIS IS THE GREATEST AND BEST MUSIC DISCUSION AND MUSIC SHARING SITE! WE DO NOT TOLERATE SLAMMING SOMEONE ELSE'S MUSIC PREFERENCES! CRITICISING ONE'S CHOICE OF MUSIC IS IRRELEVANT AND SOMEWHAT IMMATURE IN MY OPINION! MUSIC LIKE ALL OF THE OTHER ARTS IS SUBJECTIVE TO EACH HIS OWN. SLAMMING SOMEONE'S MUSIC IS COUNTER PRODUCTIVE AND DOES NOTHING TO ENHANCE THIS FORUM!(sorry forgot I had caps on and I type with my head down..lol...too lazy to retype in lower case...I am not shouting at you!!!!...lol)
Furthermore this is my first and only music forum that I have belonged to! I have no intention whatsoever to leave!

welcome to MD....
we are a small but informative group of music lovers here...and i'd rather have quality over quantity any day of the week.
