I'm a user, how do I add songs to my profile?
Every user can add songs to their audio playlist. From the RecCenter music player, you will find an Add button beside each song which will add the song to your playlist. Songs in your playlist are then made available on your profile, which others can listen to.
I'm a user, how many songs can I add to my profile?
You may add up to 10 songs to your audio playlist.
I'm not in a band. Can I sign up as an artist and upload songs from my favorite bands?
That's a negative. That is what your player is for. As you cruise RecCenter and hear music you like, add them to your personal player. The catch, the artist will need to enable their "add" functionality to each song they want shared.
I'm a user, can I upload videos?
There are 2 ways to add videos to your profile. You can add your favorite RecCenter videos directly, or import videos with a feed from
Youtube/
Google Videos. Supported feed formats are RSS 2.0 or ATOM 1.0.
How can I search/find for people who like same artists as me?
A few of the ways include visiting the
search area, looking at who's listening to the bands you like, or even seeing who listens to your playlist.
I'm an artist, what types of audio formats can I use to upload songs?
We allow the upload of Mpeg Layer 3 (mp3) files. They can be in just about any bitrate/sampling rate. Generally, the higher quality your source file, the better you will sound on RecCenter.
Why are my songs playing slow?
RecCenter player attempts to buffer or pre-load the song to increase the stream performance. If your internet connection does not perform as you expect, contact your Internet Service Provider as the problem may be in your connection.
How many songs can my band post?
Each artist profile can upload up to 5 songs.
How many videos can my band post?
Each artist profile can upload up to 3 videos. Also note that your
Youtube/

Can RecCenter help me get a record deal?
While having a presence on RecCenter may not guarantee you will be rich and famous like us, it certainly can't hurt your chances. Basic statistics would say that the more opportunities you have for exposure, the better your chances are of getting heard by The Right Person. More plays + more visability = ???. Who knows, an A&R guy might hear ya!
Do you accept demos?
No. but feel free to put your demos up on your profile.
My band is unsigned. Will you consider featuring us on RecCenter?
YES OF COURSE!!! We will constantly be featuring unsigned artists material throughout the site.
