This idea of a library sounds good but it would have it's downside.
Say I'd like to cover song X by Y. Either I send Y a pm or I wait for
Y to add song X to the library thread. Why wait when I can pm?
What if X by Y is very popular and Y gets many pm:s about it but
Y doesn't want people to over X? Pm:s all over the place.
But wouldn't a library of pre-approved tracks make it much easier and reduce PMs all over the place
And also lets say this thing gets popular. Maybe 200+ songs are added
to 'the library'. It will be very hard to find your way among all the songs.
To make things manageable each member would have a maximum number of songs they could list as "pre-approved and available to cover"
However, there would always be the option to contact anyone directly and ask to do a cover
Would Boydie need to get the spanners out to create a new sub section dedicated to covers?
I would try
I could see it working as a new forum area - eg underneath the WORK IN PROGRESS area
There could then be a sticky post listing the "rules" and then a list of the songs offered up for covering by the members
eg members would post their song list with links to their songs - a mod would then copy these in to the first post and delete the members post to keep everything in one message
I think the easiest way would be to try it and see what happens
I will have a look at the options available
