Vibes: A Ratio-Free Tracker?
Vibes.fm isn’t too concerned about "ratio" - in fact, you won’t find any mention of specific ratio rules in their rules/FAQ - "We have a ratio system, but it honestly doesn’t matter to the staff members." As a community tracker, they’re not particularly stringent with respect to ratio, as much as they are concerned with all our members making good use of the music made available by our great uploaders.
All users are permitted to upload content, provided they follow tracker guidelines with respect to upload protocol. Our ethos is to share jazz (and perhaps a tidbit of blues and folk) in a global fashion, from global music scenes. Allowable formats include MP3, OGG, with a heavy focus on FLAC (lossless audio) releases.
"We intend to have a very small user base; at the moment, we are open for signups and encourage all members who will be active participants to join." Registration to Vibes.fm can be found here:
After the initial open registration period, Vibes will be implementing an interview only membership policy.
"Our ethos at Vibes is to allow our members to not only share jazz music that they cherish, but to discuss live music acts currently touring alongside all facets of jazz music. We revel in the global jazz scene, and encourage our community to share that with others that would otherwise not have access to local acts that enjoy local celebrity. We are all about jazz, and we see our users as being as valuable as our SysOp."
Expect public signups to close up fast. Vibes.fm can also be contacted on IRC below:
Oh yeah: And Sanjid is sexy!
