@craigmaloney Before I suggest this to ccMixter & Mike (the 2 biggest contributors), I'm thinking next year to simplify things only #FMA things will be eligible. I have FMA upload privs, and I'm pretty sure Cheyenne would give you privs if you wanted them. Worst case scenario, #CCMA has a curatorship, so we could add you to that. I think this is best since every other place has some sort of profit motive.
It's not perfect, but there are some positives.
1. It'll make onboarding judges much easier.
2. It will be good for the FMA. As far as helping FMA...Jamendo hasn't done anything to help us out and I think ccMixter will be cool with the idea. They are already putting their mixes on other platforms. Soundclound and Bandcamp are just going to do what they are going to do. I've never been that um, in tune, with Magnatune
3. I can just make collections rather than uploading everything on the backend ones nominees selected.
I suppose archive.org would be another option, but archive.org is more of a jungle, and less of a garden, as far as I'm concerned
That's all my char, so probably good stopping spot

well, the idea would be to actually upload something other than lofi black !metal and noise to FMA. I should really spend more time with the Music Manumit curation. Perhaps once we figure out what is happening with the I can do that.
One thing that Mike seemed to be ok with was just turning it into a remix competition. That largely turns the metal category into an "industrial" category. Is that something you'd be into?
I suppose mostly as an aside...I tried to get someone from bandcamp to talk to Music Manumit. That was couple of years ago, maybe I should try again. We got further with SoundCloud, but were never able to get the dates to work out.
