Wolfy

This sounds awesome! I don't have anything SUPER recent, but I guess if you're looking for any slightly different genres, I got 3 songs on my pony.fm profile all ready to go :U! I think Handle With Care might be the best, but idk, whatever you'd think would fit haha. https://pony.fm/wolfblur Totally looking forward to this though, it's a great idea

Pretty much agree with CloudFyre. There's been too many times where I'm at my wits end trying to search on Youtube with obscure keywords with the aid of "search by upload date" to try to find something new and refreshing. Having a site that cuts that would probably be pretty popular. Only pony results (which is already established), and an efficient way of cycling new content to always be sharing the new things, but at the same time making sure the popular tracks have earned their rightful place. I haven't been on every pony music site in the world, but I still think a great addition to make this unique is to have a "search by pony" option. To be honest I like finding remixes and originals based around my favorite characters mostly, so being able to narrow down on that would be the most awesome thing ever. It also gives me a fresh and new way of searching for type of music too, so characters seem to fall under their own musical categories most the time (like I tend to associate Applejack with more acoustics and whatnot). Of course the problem with that is people actually filling out the right ponies with their mixes, but I'm sure kinks could be worked out. Appearance and navigation should probably also be not only easy and appealing, but original and new. That falls more in the hands of design and a different ballpark all together, but it's probably a big factor. Like one small thing about MLP Forums that I always remember apart from all the other IP.Boards is the simple day/night background you guys have going on here depending on what time it is for me. Just little things like that. As for any suggestions, eventually having a multitude of skins would be awesome, at least of each Mane 6 or something *shrugs*. The rest would probably just have to be publicity. When the final build of the site launches, it'd be cool to get some features somewhere outside of MLP Forums, maybe a Youtube video promoting it, and getting the word out. If we could get some people to join up that are very popular already in the pony music scene, more would follow suit. Eurobeat, Mandopony, etc and stuffs would probably do wonders for the site to stick out. Just possible ideas to make sure this site shines above the rest anyways. I know that's a ton but I'm just spewing as I'm thinking haha

Definitely awesome! The only suggestion I could make would maybe put a "see more" at the end of those lists? I know the "newest tracks" could basically just go to the regular "tracks" page since those are in order by newest, but it'd be cool to have a page or something on the most popular tracks as well. Looking even better though, it's definitely an improvement, >D

Not sure if this has been exactly suggested before (some gut feeling feels like it has, so if so, my apologizes), but could it be possible to have a tagging option in the edit stage after uploading to tag a song to a character from the show? Seems like TONS of people make songs based after or around certain characters, whether it be a remix of a character's song from the show, an original around the idea of a character etc. It'd be really rad if I could search or click "Rainbow Dash" off the main page or something, and have all the songs on the site that are related to her right there in front of me. The issues I could see with this is people just possibly tagging everything they ever wrote to their favorite character or something. I mean it'd probably be best to make it an "optional" setting, so you don't have to choose a character for a song. So all in all, it's basically the same as searching by genre...but searching by character?

I'd personally like an onsite one. I've been trying to make habit of just having Pony.fm on my bookmark list, and if there was a follow option to where I could just get on the site, instantly go and see if any of the people I follow have new stuff or not, that'd be great. If the DA and Youtube and etc ways are too complex, maybe something like FurAffinity? I think it just makes a simple text list of updates as things happen.

When we're talking about making playlists, does this mean like a user can start adding songs from any artist's profile and start making a playlist out of them? 'Cause if so, a download for that would be pretty cool, since it'd almost basically work as a "add to shopping cart" type deal (but of course without the money aspect haha). Not sure if that's what everyone is meaning by making playlists though. As for the "everything by artist" that'd be pretty handy. I can't really recall a time where I wanted to do that personally, but I'm betting there's a few people out there that see whatever artist and go "Homg, I need everything they've ever touched!" XD.

Yeah, it should probably be specific slot areas, much like how on the forum here, when we go to edit our profile, there's about 10 different slots for "contact information" that are all specified each. If there was something like that for any social media areas, that'd be really fantastic. I totally understand the point of not really wanting to put things like soundcloud, box, and other upload sites though. Pony.fm is meant to be a new hub for artists' music, but like you said, there's a lot of artists here that probably do more than just pony music (like myself), and would love it if any people that are fans of my work here, could also check out my other music related stuff elsewhere if they wished. So yeah, I can't really think of any other big places off the top of my head. I personally only use bandcamp, youtube, and facebook so *shrugs*

Not sure if this has already been discussed or not yet, but I couldn't find anything on it yet. Basically was wondering if there could be a profile edit option to post up links to your other various profiles from big universal sites, like Bandcamp, Youtube, Twitter, Facebook, etc. I kinda like following any artists and such that I like, and having a way to link from pony.fm to other social places they're at would be totally awesome.

Yeah there's probably a few genres that could benefit from having their own selection, but I also understand wanting to keep the genre lists as simplified as possible. I guess it's all about the balance, since too many genre types and some songs will probably never get found due to obscurity, while if it's too simplified, then things get lost under the umbrella term.

Heyo, just a quick suggestion I thought I'd ask about, but when uploading a song, I noticed that there wasn't really a "Metal" genre option in the genre selection. I understand it could technically be fitted under "Rock," but I feel that metal is a pretty large genre on it's own to umbrella it's own type of music. It'd help separate away from standard rock tracks as well when people searching for metal and/or rock as well. If not, I understand, but just an idea! Thanks

That'd be pretty awesome since pony.fm is already connected through the board here. It'd be like an official localization dealeo, so I'd be down for that.

It's actually the fact that we're only allowed lossless files types that this pony.fm thing appeals to me so much. When I first heard of it I instantly thought of it being like a pony-specific bandcamp, which is like a dream come true. This way anyone can download it however they want it without worrying how your listeners will want your work. If we just all uploaded MP3, then everyone would have to have MP3 no matter what (and I'm sure some people would probably upload less than 320kbps versions as well).

Yeah I've been getting the same deal for the past few hours. I think someone mentioned the problem a bit ago and I believe they said they were looking into it and whatnot. I wouldn't be surprised if they were away sleeping or something at the moment though haha

I usually do stuff in singles. Basically it's because with my pace of making music, releasing an album would probably leave any listeners of mine high and dry for like a year at a time XD. So I release a new song or so about every month or two it seems *shrugs*

Heyo, I'm Wolfy on the boards, but "Wolfblur" by musician title I guess. I still consider myself a bit new to the fandom since I got into ponies around June this year, but I'm loving every bit of it. Anyways, have been making music via the computer and whatnot since 2005, and have been playing guitar since 2000. I love doing video gamey music and other themed compositions, so making original pony songs is an absolute blast. Can do sequenced junk, electric and acoustic guitar, electric bass, and vocals if anyone is ever down for a collab or something! As for myself more, I'm a moderator over at this forum called Sonic Stadium, love foxes and wolves for some reason, pretty big into video games, and Rainbow Dash is best pony :U! Really looking forward to getting to know you guys and stuff, since I don't really know anyone in the MLP community yet haha. So yeah, hi!

I'm game to join up and help out the alpha testing! I only have 2 pony fan made songs, so I hope this is enough to help out.

This sounds absolutely fantastic! I'd be honored to help out in anyway possible, even if I only have a few pony songs under my belt compared to others, XD.

This song has kinda had a long history with me this year, but I finally got it done and thought I'd show you guys for any possible feedback X3. It's just a song about Derpy from Dinky's perspective. Lyrics are on the Youtube page:

So this got featured on Equestria Daily...sorta! I'm pretty greatful that it was even mentioned, but apparently 3 others were as well, and, well, they all got Youtube links of the other songs, just not mine for some reason I can't figure out D:. http://www.equestriadaily.com/2012/10/instrumental-dinners-severed-pinkie.html

Haha, thanks man, it seriously means a lot. I've been finding it hard for anyone to really care about any pony music I do, so seeing someone for once that I don't know on Skype or something comment is nice, so I really appreciate it. I definitely plan to make more, but it'll probably be random genres of music all the time, since I hardly stick to one. Have a few acoustic ones in line, weird mexicanish one, punkish, etc, XD. There'll most likely be more metal in the futre though, don't worry XD. Thanks again~

Was kinda bored today and spent the afternoon making this grungy metally song...thing. Watched the Dragon Quest episode again last night and was kinda inspired from the BGM whenever Garble and co. show up and do something:
