Have you changed the basic rules on Critique Corner?

[Atsuko]

To whom it may concern, (hi, hi, hi, it meant you, A.J.)

I've noticed that there are some songs submitted with back-ground music (accompanyment) and with the length beyond limited-1-minute rule.

I'm just wondering if you have changed the written rule recently.

Yes.  I musta bent under the pressure of all these Sliders, beating up on me.   Besides, I could see the point (in some cases) for the use of backup music. So, while I still prefer it without trax, yes, you can use backup music.

How about the length?  You will no longer cut off at the one minute mark?

[A.J.Fedor]

I think it's still a minute. Unless Gabe changed it. I'll get in there and check some time before the end of the day

I have no problem with pieces being ignored if they don't comply.  It isn't my site after all and rules are rules.  Sorry if it caused a problem.

[A.J.Fedor]

Okay, I checked. Turns out it's just a limit I set for bandwidth sake. (If you do go over, it's not going to stop you.)

...... Sorry if it caused a problem.

Hello Electric Slide,

I don't know who submitted what but judging from your message, I guessed that your submission was one of those that went over one minute.  Well, if this is the case, you have nothing to be sorry about. Thanks to you, now I can submit a longer song

Here's a new "Rule" (suggestion actually)
If you submit a sound file, send it "receipt requested"  just in case we don't get it on this end. So far, we've never rejected any sound file. AFAIK
