Don't panic just because you are disappearing under the icy water BECAUSE ..... "we are looking into it"

AND

You aren't really drowning. You just think you are.

Well maybe a little strange that I am still around. But in a way my internet connection if for free so also my telephone. I can't pay it but it stills remains.

So I looked some closer to the problem we have with new files, who doesn't play. It is almost looks if the famous ones

on esnips are blocked in a strange way. I tried to load up only a text and I got the message copyright bla bla. I did this 4 times same message ocure. Then I tried a music file with the title which belongs to the song. It upload but didn't play. Then I changed it only in " Robert sings about tomorrow" and quese what, it plays, also in the public folder.

Hello Robert,

Thankyou for that. It's an interesting theory and you might be right, although Audible Magic [ or whatever the thing calls itself ] is supposed to compare sound bytes NOT song titles. If it rejected or deleted based on song titles there would be nothing left in the karaoke section. lol

I know that while I was asleep in my bed last night all trace of my version of "Love Me Tender" was removed from my Elvis folder.

Others have gone too but I have a busy day ahead of me amd won't have time to find out what else has been removed until tomorrow now.

There is nothing left of the song to transfer to a private folder so there is nothing I can do.

SO FAR I HAVEN'T READ ANY EXPLANATIONS FROM ESNIPS ABOUT ANY OF THE RECENT PROBLEMS THAT ARE TAKING THE FUN OUT OF THIS PLACE

Lately none of the problems have been solved but ordinary members like you and I can compare notes and try and find ways to work round them.

Of course there is no "work round" for someone deleting your file completely

Cheers

Roy

Roy I tested a couple of files out by using abbreviations it seems to work.
I dont know how long it will last but after ages to post a song that would play I managed this one.

Hope this helps
Dizzy

Hello Dizzy,

Well done mate.

I just hope you get to hold on to your songs once you have posted them.

I am having files stolen on a daily basis.

I checked Roberts theory by checking other peoples versions of "Love Me Tender" and all the other versions are still avaliable.

It seems that only mine was removed.

STILL NO SENSIBLE ANSWER AS TO WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING AND WHAT IS BEING DONE TO STOP IT HAPPENING AGAIN.

SOME FEEDBACK IS THE LEAST WE ARE OWED [ IN MY OPINION ]

I hope your good luck holds

Cheers

No fair minded person could disagree with your sentiments my friend.
I think most people feel agrieved at the lack of information that causes all the doubt and mistrust.

I cant help thinking that there is more to all this than meets the eye, if I am wrong for thinking it, then blame it on lack of communication.
Who can blame a person for coming to the wrong conclusions when we dont know the facts to make allowances for.
I hate moaning, its not my thing, but all this is very trying.

Hello Dizzy,

If you tell the truth about the things that are going wrong you are labelled negative but that's just a smokescreen .

People like you and I are positive because we are trying to get something done about it.

I do not accept that it's ok for something or someone to steal my files

The policy seems to be to not do anything about things and hope that the people complaining just lose interest.

It's a simple policy but quite effective because if we continue to complain eventually our fellow esnippers [ who may not be affected themselves ] will lose interest in us too and start to believe the nonsense about us being negative or troublemakers.

A few people have had the same problem throughout history

The truth will always be the truth no matter what people say and do.
Beat us, humiliate us, but the truth still remains.

Let's just see what happens though, because we could be jumping to conclusions because of lack of information.
Nothing is happening fast so it looks like we will just have to sit it out, if we can

Dizzy

Hey Dizzy

Let's just see what happens though, because we could be jumping to conclusions because of lack of information.

Good idea.

I am not guessing what is happening though I am just disappointed that the problem isn't being fixed or even being admitted to.

Cheers

Roy

Till last evening I had all my files. Now almost one page has disappeared and that too selective songs. Is there anyway we can know who does this, maybe someone known to us or with an esnips account? Hope to receive your reply. Edd

Hello Edd

I doubt you will ever find out what is happening. That is how they get away with it.

It's a bit like getting shot in the back.

The official answer at the moment seems to be TOTAL SILENCE

Its hard not to think all sorts of things when all this is going on.
The more I hear, the more suspicious I get.
Stories like Ed's are getting to be more common place, why is it happening to some people, and not others ?
These are some of the questions that we would like answered, but that cloak of anonimity just compounds our grievances.

Hello Dizzy

You are right.

If we are wrong to have suspicions then tell us the truth.

There can only be 2 possible options.

1. Esnips knows that this is all about and aren't telling us.

OR

2. They don't have a clue either

Neither option exactly covers them in glory.

One thing is for sure, even the slowest wits amongst us must be wondering why no-one is saying anything at all.

Cheers

Roy

Who are the moderators ?
I hav'nt got a clue have you ?
