Cut the audio then!
I was thinking of a board were people could simply post every new release and rate it; something similar to what happens on this forum, but with rating.

Then everyone is free to download (from archive.org) or not.

I don't see the need for podcasts :roll:

listeners seem to like podcast. i don't realy use them. rss without enclosure fits my needs....but i am not a typical listener.

it's not the volume traffic that sucks, volume traffic is a fine thing. the more you have, the more money you get (at least if you are above one tb/a day and speak with the isp's).

the problems are the hits (actualy not music hits...) and the page generation time. to keep this low, it needs a lot of cpu and ram.

do you know this? http://cchits.org

I'm not trained about the technical details... maybe using something else than drupal could help? Does the current system use ajax ?
I have found this platform: http://meneame.net/ do you know it?

cchits is cool, I didn't know it.
It gets near to what I'm looking for, although it lists tunes and not whole releases.

ajax is no wonderbra. drupal is very well designed for performance (and yes the voting is ajax).

meneame.net looks good, dl here http://meneame.wikispaces.com/Installation

why not use digg for netlabel releases? it's open and you reach the audiance.

Yes I noticed the voting is already ajax.

I've been trying to build my own cchits but it seems like it's not working...
