MeFi Music hit mute for a while, but we found the remote

March 29, 2007 12:12 PM

MeFi Music is working again, but we lost every uploaded song from March 22 until now. I've set the threads to hidden, but you have two options: re-upload as a new post, or email me the mp3 so I can restore it.

Seated one day at the organ... Mathowie struck one chord of music like the sound of a great Amen, and thus found The Lost Chord.

I expect cortex to have 4 news songs up immediately. With all the down time, he should have a backlog ready.

Chop, chop.

Maybe a notice on the Metafilter Music frontpage? Not everyone reads Metatalk.

*Confessor nods*

The next time this happens, would you mind losing this recording?

I have since discovered that I am not, in fact, a lyricist.

Aha! As a side note, playlists with non-existent songs say "playlist not found" or sommat when you try to load them. I was very confused for a little while until I saw "this post has been deleted bla bla"

Glad it's back up and running! Otsukaresamadeshita!

But where are those groovy new features rumored to be a-hatching in mathowie's brain? The ones that're gonna bring lotsa new listeners scurrying over to MeFiMu, and keep 'em coming back?

yeah, man, what about the Transparency Act, and the Freedom of Information act and all of that? We want to know, We want to know, We want to know, We want to know.
