12 Song Playlist

[Squaredancecalling Steve]

I usually make up a new one each week to feature between the called or cued dances, for free dancing and listening.

Feel free to join in, make up your own playlist for an occasion real or imaginary.

Here's mine to start at tomorrow night's dance. These won't follow each other like a radio playlist, but will rather fill in the spaces in the dance here and there and before and after.

Mostly Memphis -- Click to play it at badongo.com

At badongo.com, you'll see the same playlist with four little player buttons at the bottom right---back, play/stop, forward, and volume. You'll probably need to use that volume button in conjunction with the volume control on your computer. The playlist will (theoretically) play straight through, but you can click on any song to play it. If a song won't play after a minute or so, please click on a different song.
 

[Squaredancecalling Steve]

Excellent, Rita!

I love that you can actually play yours. Is BADONGO free, subscription, non-geek friendly?


Here's this week's list. I never strictly adhere to it. This week I've been doing the singing call to Dylan's You Ain't Going Nowhere, and most nights I've followed it with The Boids voision.

Steve---

Thanks. That your choices are excellent (as far as I can tell), I take as a given!

Via badongo.com, one can even embed a playlist-loaded player here. The catch? The player that one can embed is obnoxious. I don't even want to post it to show y'all.

Let me look over badongo.com again ASAP before I answer your questions about it.

Badongo is a file-hosting site, and technically not "legal" for publicly sharing music. Lala is kosher.

[bluenoter]

Badongo is a file-hosting site, and technically not "legal" for publicly sharing music. Lala is kosher.

No one can download a playlist stored at badongo except the person who uploaded it. Nor can anyone search for songs uploaded by others there; it's not a "sharing" site. Only people to whom I've given the link to my badongo playlist can listen to it (or even see it) there. Also, songs are not for sale at or through badongo.

Doesn't all that take care of the legality? In several online references to badongo, I found nothing stating that it isn't kosher.
 

[Vince Kargatis]

If badongo isn't paying license fees for streaming music, then someone else's listening to your files via badongo is illegal.

[Pete C]

Vince is correct. You've just made your playlist available for free to anybody who sees this thread and there are no licensing or royalty arrangements for that music.

Also, one CAN search for files hosted on sites like badongo, rapidshare, etc.:

LOOK

[Pete C]

. Also, songs are not for sale at or through badongo.

How does that support your belief that sharing your playlist is legal?
