Liontamer Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Hey everyone, we're likely changing the album field for all of the individual OC ReMixes to just "ocremix.org" -- without http:// or our recent change to https://. It would potentially future-proof that field vs other eventual prefix changes to the website URL, although we haven't had that many in the first place. Here's where I need your feedback: are there any services/programs where you think our discoverability would be negatively affected by making this change to just "ocremix.org" as the album title? As far as I can tell, there aren't many services like Last.fm that people use anymore, and some scrobbling-style services won't even display full website URLs as album titles. I can't think of any compelling reason not to change it, but if you have one, please let me know. djpretzel, avaris, Abadoss and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhonicB∞m Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Seems like a reasonable decision to me. No one ever types out the http(s) anyway lmao HoboKa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radiowar Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 yes! i have always wanted this. that way in iTunes i can just press "o" and it jumps directly to the album. ...not that itunes is really a relevant thing anymore djpretzel, HoboKa, timaeus222 and 1 other 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orlouge82 Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Sounds fine, but I also wouldn't be opposed to going back to "remix.overclocked.org", either Garpocalypse 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koba44 Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Because I'm last.fm user I'm always changing album name to OverClocked ReMix. Track won't be scrobbled to last.fm if website's address is used as an album's name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timaeus222 Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Sounds like a plan, chief! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cole Train Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 I hated that particular combination of letters anyway. Screw an 'https' man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karashata Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Can't see any reason the prefix needs to stay, most browsers fill it in automatically anyway (and may even default to https if it's available). If it's time to let it go, then so it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black_Doom Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Seems like a fine desicion to me djpretzel and HoboKa 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoboKa Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 No complaints here. Do it mon. djpretzel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan David Arndt Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 (edited) Having the http/https prefix on there has been rather annoying. (The car stereo I frequently use will slowly scroll the album title because it is just a little too long for the display, instead of just showing it briefly and moving on). Like Radiowar said, even if one is using a different media player, it is nice to sort by album, tap "o" and jump straight there. No complaints here.

Silverpool64 Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 I think that's a cool idea! One of the things I used to do was change the genre to "OverClocked ReMix" so that I could find them all in one place, including OCR albums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majin GeoDooD Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Yup, go for it. I feel like we're rapidly approaching the day where most of the modern internet will be all HTTPS anyway, so why bother specifying that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poke'G Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 I've always preferred OverClocked ReMix as the album title, which what I used before you guys standardized the ID3 tags way back when. As long as you pick a standard and keep to it, though. The whole reason I came across this thread was noticing the album names have been swapped around the past couple months, and wanting to find what to switch them all to.

SkyRiderX Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Seems like a pretty solid win-win scenario so I say go for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
