R3tox Records Store Now Open

[SwiV]

Having used Juno I fail to see these hyperlinks...Or I'm missing a trick, the WMA's use media player, the MP3's use quicktime. Yes this may be a default player on my PC but I'm sure the site was built to work in that way. To play mp3's via hyperlinks doesn't work with our FTP setup, but I'm keen to hear how it's done other than using an external file-share system such as savefile.com this is how I host live/dj/mixes ect...But to get large amounts of data hosted in this manner costs money. The Juno site is amongst the best around and they would have paid a lot for this, they can afford it, they've been around for years. So again back to our aim of offering value for your hard-earned cash. Admittedly yes we could be loosing potential customers who use the net at work...but hey, your at work remember! Not wanting to sound like tw@t but I've been fired before myself for using the internet at work for my own purposes.....So it may be a good thing, I'd hate a punter to get fired because of us....It's one thing to bear in mind when we upgrade to MP3 sales, we could do it on the cheap right now but we're gonna see how the shop does initially before I pump more of my own money into the venture......

If anyone is serious about buying from us, have a look at what you want and email us through the site and I'll offer a discount. Presently we use PayPal to process our credit/debit and paypal payments. If you want to send a cheque or put a deposit in our account then we can bypass the paypal charges, again giving better value. As this is a new venture we're quite keen to start to recoup the cost of setting this up, so I'm more than open to offers on what we have.
We're getting the new Xbox360 / PSP titles in too for all the gamer fans (we're the chapest on the net for lost planet) and we've placed our pre-order for PS3 for anyone thats gonna wants one ;-)

Well, that depends on your configuration.

Hovver your mouse over one of the little headphones icons... you'll see in your status bar it's just a link to an mp3 or a wma. It depends how your browser is set up. Some will play the file in a little embedded media player / quicktime in the browser. Some download and play in WMP or WinAMP or whatever. Either way, it will work on any system which has a browser and a media player installed.

To play mp3's via hyperlinks doesn't work with our FTP setup, but I'm keen to hear how it's done other than using an external file-share system such as savefile.com this is how I host live/dj/mixes ect...

Presumably the little Flash objects must be downloading the snippets from somewhere? IE, Firefox, Camino, Opera and practically every other web browser in the world can use ftp download links.

To be honest I'd need to know more about your specific setup, but there are always ways around Flash.

But to get large amounts of data hosted in this manner costs money. The Juno site is amongst the best around and they would have paid a lot for this, they can afford it, they've been around for years. So again back to our aim of offering value for your hard-earned cash.

As I said before, I didn't mean to come off quite so derogatory in the first place. I was genuinely trying to offer helpful advice. This sort of thing is what I do for a living and I have a bit of a tendency to voice my opinion. I assumed feedback would be appreciated, but I do understand that my tone might have seemed a little antagonistic.

I feel quite bad now, because you're obviously trying to offer a good service for the lowest price possible, and I can see how my comments sounded harsh in the context. I do have genuine admiration for what you're trying to do. Massive respect etc.

Bet I've screwed any chances of a DJ slot at Pure Techno now, right?

Admittedly yes we could be loosing potential customers who use the net at work...but hey, your at work remember!

We're allowed reasonable personal internet usage here.

Of course it varies from employer to employer, so caution advised.

Of course not mark... you are always welcome. You know that!

We have recently changed venue due to the rhythm rooms being shut down and are moving to the welly club as i recall, might take us a while to get on solid ground again but we would love to do a gig swap with you and pure filth. Im not only talking about me, but im sure swiv, andy maily, biskit or tony sowerby would be well up for it.

Peace.
