Well, I'm certainly not wanting to make any "unpopular" statements or have anyone look at me as so, but for starters if I could even get anything to upload to CCH in the first place it would be a big step in the right direction for me. As I reported yesterday, I have tried a few times as of late using different file formats, bit rates and so on and all to no avail, the files never appear. I was starting to wonder because of my poor playing if I've been banned from CCH!
I don't visit the site very often but I do notice on certain days the site seems to get flooded with new uploads and often by the same names, I personally don't have a problem with this but it does also make me wonder if this is why we fairly often hear of people having upload issues as the site is just simply bogged down with everyone trying to upload and perhaps there's a certain percentage of uploads that just never appear.
Limiting downloads would be a tough one to police unless it was set up that a user could only upload so many a week or a month or something like that. Me personally, I'm not looking for any accolades for my playing and don't upload to impress anyone or get attention and will never get any big compliments other than the "hey, you did an OK job on that one" and if so I'm fine with that. Sometimes I think it's just neat to be able to go to a website and hear yourself playing a song and you can share it with others. If you look through the list of songs uploaded, even for the players that don't upload often there is almost always a comment or two which tells me there are some people spending time on the site to listen to almost everything that gets uploaded, so I'm not worried about me or others being missed. I have a total of 4 or 5 uploads on CCH, 4 are of the same song, and even with that I think every one of them except for one had a nice comment or two which I appreciate.
I say upload all you want or don't want, I enjoy them all and if I have a certain player I like listening to like I do at home with my CD collection, I can always filter what player I want to listen to.
