I'm new to the site so I'm not sure if this was already mentioned but It looks like Whitelabel needs to breakdown it's Reggae section into Reggae Dancehall Soca and Calypso. I don't remember the name of the song But I was telling a dancehall selector about the site and he pointed out that one of the reggae songs was actually soca. This is big for us Dee Jays that spin carribean music because Dancehall is not soca. and Dancehall is not reggae. Also Trinitee 5:7 is Gospel They are listed under R&B You may want to add a Gospel genre as well if you're going to give out gospel music. I think it's a good idea to have gospel music on the site though, I don't listen to it much but it can help me get a gig with a church
Cool, thanks Mic Terror.

first of all, i would like to mention that i am very thankful for the reggae releases from Vp & Greensleeve records they do a great job however, i notice that we are not gettng all of the tunes from their compilations.i think that it is equally important to promote upcoming artist who are on these compilations but are not as big as others.i feel small name artist deserve promotion as well so..why are we receiving only 1/2 of the songs listed on these reggae compilations to promote?? hmm.. im just curious:)..thanx
Yeah, bigups to everybody for working hard to get these tracks out to us. It is greatly appreciated by this DJ. Hooking up the forums is a good idea too btw.
Seen Jay.
Whitelabel.net are good at pushin the left side of genres, small labels, and new artists, Deffo got to hook up the rest of the tracks for these compilations.
Let us, the tastemakers of the scene, decide what is gold.
How will we know what hits in the club if we can't try the songs out on the people?
Now I understand it might not be possible to put every track on there, but if you did, it would give us an un-biased choice of cuts on the record.
And how can you torture us by listing other tracks on the record or different mixes that we can't download? :P
sorry if this is the wrong thread..
Im confused, these downloads are coming in as 32 kbps? Are these tracks for promoting or what?
I can search Beatport with higher bitrate sample than these with a beautiful interface.

Yes. Play them in Serato Scratch LIVE with an interface connected and they are 320k.

Hey Dave, Interested why the tracks come in at 32 on Itunes, but in Serato they are 320? Thanks to Whitelabel for the releases. Very helpful.

Whitelabel audio files have two audio streams, the regular mp3 one is available in iTunes and all other mp3 players, and the high quality one is a special secret one only Scratch LIVE knows about.

Thanks very much for the free music guys. I have to say the quality of music and service has improved an awful lot since you started . Keep up the good work.
Any way the genre could be posted in the title of the thread?
At 2:55 PM 11 August 2008
Thanks for the music...i had serato for 1 year and i just found whitelable.net...i'll be checking on a regular for new tunes...
Hey all you record lables out there, get your music on whitelable.net..it's the best way to get your music to the dj's...plus real dj's use SERATO..

I seem to get mono files when downloading from Whitelabe, is this to do with the "secret" serato only knows files?
At 6:02 AM 21 August 2008
Yeah, when you play those mono 32kb tracks in Scratch LIVE with the hardware connected, they magically turn into 320 kb stereo files.
Ta daaaaa!

lovin this site yo!
btw, is there a section for suggestions regarding the layout of Serato's Whitelabel format?
- is there a way to navigate and preview/download by genre?
- also, is there a way to have an area to the side that contains links to other artists/songs that are similar or what other members have liked as well (kinda like what iTunes does)
At 12:11 AM 22 August 2008
Those are exactly the kinds of things we're hoping to add in the future :)

I signed up for Whitelabel about a year ago and really only did a quick browse through. But today I come back and find some great dancehall classics, riddims!!! and a niiiice reggae artist I didn't know about!
Thanks and props to you all @ Serato and to the Record Labels participating. Please keep putting up new and unknown artists and good old tracks - this really helps us put quality music out there.
One suggestion: I would, love, love, love to see some dancehall acapellas.
At 2:18 PM 3 September 2008
Thanks for the feedback afrofrench, I'll be sure to pass it onto the labels. Rad that you found music that you like on there, we're hoping to keep adding new and diverse labels so that there's always music to suit everyone's taste.
Awesome.

At 9:44 AM 25 September 2008
Dear Moderator,
Very cool things are happening today with music in the world and with this site. I however do not see a need for such an abundance of promo hip hop. Meaning - not to stop the quantity of hip hop but to arrange more variety and quantity in available genre for the stimulation of other interests that people mite have. I would like to see more dnb and I have friends that would like to see more house and so on. I don't no Im just a consumer. Keep It Real.
At 2:18 PM 30 September 2008
Hey dude,
For sure, I totally agree. We're always talking to different record labels and diversity is our main priority. Thanks for your feedback, will be sure to talk to our house and d'n'b labels and let them know the demand :)
Cheers

Citywide,
There is plenty house, dnb, and bloody hip hop on that site.
Whitelabel just needs a genre divider system thingy.
So I agree with you, however there is what you are looking for.
And if your friends want more house, tell them to show support of those tunes that are there by giving feedback on the site themselves, and not just suck on the teet that provides these free tracks.
At 9:32 PM 30 September 2008
Speaking of releases and genres and stuff like that, these just went out:
The Glass - Mad At You [Plant Music]

Ultra Nate' - Twisted (Got Me Goin' Round) [Tommy Boy Entertainment]

Welcome aboard Tommy Boy Entertainment! And Plant Music, who already have a couple of releases, but they were never welcomed. But now they are!

whats wrong with the preview player?
also if there is a full promo or mixtap can you add the ability to download the whole thing instead of one track at a time?

Really? To me it just takes up a bunch of unneeded space with the album art and such. The old layout where everything was collapseable (drunk type) seemed much cleaner and easier to navigate. Plus, previewing was a sinch. Maybe I just need time to get used to it.
That and I was seeing a lot of indie electro artists before in the beta and not so much now. What gives?
At 4:52 AM 11 October 2008
dave, i think i may have been having the same issue with the preview player.. clicking onthe preview button did nothing in firefox or IE6 for me, works fine in google chrome tho. the download link always worked fine. could perhaps be a java/flash/somesuch issue?
PS, the popout preview player is nice.
At 8:46 PM 11 October 2008
hm, i'd also like to add: ability to search by genre/label/artist is needed! would make WL.N sooo much easier to navigate and find what you need, IMO.
At 8:49 PM 11 October 2008
love the whitelabel idea guys, its killer. but just a quickie: the scratchbox has gotta be connected before the tracks will show up as 320k even in SSL?
i mean, the tracks are OK at 32k but sometimes is a little hard to hear when previewing tracks! i'd like it if i got to hear the whole track while i'm setting cues and so on when away from my interface with just my lappy.
At 8:21 AM 19 October 2008
I,m a new comer to whitelabel.net, but how do I download the tracks into serato scratch?

Yep, that's right. That was a requirement from some record labels, if we allowed 320k playback without the box connected everyone on the internet would be able to download and play their promo tracks for free. The labels only want DJs to promote their tracks.

At 1:26 AM 30 October 2008
Hey Sniffles - we hear you! I've seen you post that in a few threads. I'm still not really sure why you like the old layout.
Could you please let me know... (everyone else feel free to answer these too)
Have you used the "preview all tracks" buttons?
Are you faster or slower at previewing and downloading tracks with the new layout?
At 12:41 AM 6 November 2008
dave wrote
Serato, Moderator
No I have no technical issues with the new lay out. I just liked how less cluttered it was the way before. Preview and download buttons next to the track. No need for pop ups and such. Just preview, take a quick listen, download and move on. The way it is now, you got the album art which is cool I guess, and then all the tracks available for that artist. Before you had the nifty dropdown menu to keep the workspace limited.
I dunno, I'm just one person who liked the old lay out better
At 9:32 PM 13 November 2008
We appreciate your opinion :D
I find it faster with the new site because it's only two clicks to decide if i want to download something:
1) click preview on the downloads page
2) click download from within the player (or reject if I don't like the track).
Previously it was three or four clicks:
1) click the dropdown to see the tracks on the downloads page
2) click preview
3) click download
4) optionally click pause to stop the preview.
I find the new way even faster the more I check out.

I personally think the new layout is much better. The old one was quite irritating really. The new way is much quicker as you can stack up the tracks to preview and then it just plays one after the other automatically. Also being able to "reject" stuff is strangely satisfying!
At 9:27 PM 14 November 2008
wow...haven't been on white label in a minute. The improvements are great!! This site is laid out better than most record pools.
and am i seeing full albums??

At 6:09 PM 15 December 2008
Just an idea, but i think it would definatly help in the review area....
I think there should be an area where we can rate each song (like a five star kinda thing) and it would show on the main page. Not only would this bring out some unknown artists with great songs, but i think it would leave people writting reviews, that would have some of the reviews on the artists page. It would be kinda like what iTunes Store has but with ratings for each song since artists usually only release a couple songs here at a time, if not only one. Hope this helps, feel free to email me.
At 1:20 PM 19 December 2008
No more wack artists. I'd like it if you carried more stuff that I can actually use.
At 8:47 AM 23 December 2008
Sure thing Doomz, but what artists are wack?
What music do you like?
There is quite a range of stuff on Whitelabel.
Giving some feedback would help us understand what you like.

Thanks WL and Serato for this service (Genius...the 32kb vs the 320 w/ ssl LoL)
Anyway...I was wondering, in case there were more out there like me, is there a way you guys can have this run friendly on Explorer6? I avoid using IE7 with WinXP (especially now that I'm running SSL 1.8.2, NOT getting VISTA)
It just runs a lil buggy...don't want to get into winded explanation, unless you want me too .. heheheh

I click to preview, might get a second screen for a split second.
But then it disappears and I hear nothin =o(
I can DL just fine. Everything works great
But It would be nice to preview
I don't want to judge an artist by it's Cover Design

ZESH, running IE6 leaves you more vulnerable on the internet than IE7 does. If you're concerned about viruses and the like, then you're better off with the greater security provided by IE7.
IE6 is on its last days and will be unsupported by Microsoft in not too long. We're focusing our browser support on IE7 and above. I also recommend giving Firefox a try - another browser that has much greater security than IE6.
