Mp3 Covers & Tributes/Originals

[Riff Addict]

First of all, Hats off to the great musicians here on the board who share their talents and hard work for all of us to enjoy and draw inspiration from the music they post. Secondly, I have a gripe. It bothers me that so many members are downloading the songs but only a tiny few are replying with even so much as a thanks or to let them know what they think, offer comments or any kind of acknowledgement for their efforts. It doesn't matter if the artist posting is amateur or a veteran pro level musician, if you listen to someone's work, the least you could do is reply with a word or two. Let these guys know you appreciate what they're sharing with you. When I see that 200 members or more have downloaded a song and only 5-10 of those people respond, it really bugs the hell outta me. C'mon folks, is hitting the reply button and typing a few words so difficult??? I admit I don't listen to every song posted, but when I do listen to one, I will respond in kind.

Thanks to all who post mp3's and those who appreciate it.
