=== SUPERVISION ===
For efficiency you should not double check other people's work except for compliance with the law or prove of failure. Cause that's what cooperation is about, relying that other's will come up with the solution and decitions without looking at them all the time.
The law doesn't require you to check all the work summited to this site, but to take down it in a reasonable amount of time after request. The rest that you are doing, as my project manager teacher said, is waste.
If something else needs supervision it means the system is not good enough. If you really don't want graphic previews on audio files you are better standarising that by making the website unable to do so, than managing all the summisions. Aka don't manage the people, manage the system.
Otherwise we will find ourselves having this kind of discussions for each irrelevant decition that any other user makes. That's the relevant part of this discussion, not if I leave the ugly DarkBasic logo who nobody cares about.
Pix only has an email, but it seems long gone. We are talking like 25 years ago, 90s era.
He only required attribution though, so the CC-BY license won't create any conflict.
The reason why I put the logo first was on purpose, as I think it's more functional to be able to distinguish the media visually than to be able to play it directly while searching. Specially when we are talking about a hole collection, and the preview only showcases one single song among many.
I also considered uploading every song individually, so they could be previewed individually. But the media is on midi format and there's a bug on my audio conversion software, ffmpeg, which lead to many corrupt conversions. So I have only uploaded the preview of a single one, and left the rest of files as midi.

Don't worry, I was just trolling you :P
Have a nice day.
