MusicPlusTV.com version 3 has launched!
Hello, friends!

I'm very happy to announce that we've finally launched MusicPlusTV.com version 3. It's the culmination of many hours put in, as well as many friends and loved ones neglected over the past three months or so. I apologize to thsoe who essentially haven't heard from me in that time. I promise, it was so that I'd have this moment to share with all of you.

Here's a good rundown of what's up, courtesy of my good friend, coworker & CSS genius - Reverend Mitcz.

After many, many hours of work... long shifts that stretched on for days (one shift lasted over 63 hours), 3 weeks of internal beta testing and more changes/revisions than any human should ever be bothered to count...

MusicPlusTV.com v3.0 is LIVE!


Go get yourself an account. Try out our multi-file uploader (you can upload up to 300 files all in one shot). Browse our repository of 1000's of on-demand music videos. Blog in style with a full WYSIWYG HTML editor that works in every modern browser/OS combination. Watch the stream at twice the quality and dimensions as before (we're using a 640x480 stream, up from 320x240 from the old site). And uhh... well, you've just gotta see it to understand all the new shit.

Just understand we're in a semi-beta state. Some features are missing, others are half-implemented. But overall, we felt it was ready for the public, so we've put it up.

And don't worry about finding me on there - I'm added to your account by default ;)


Ditto me for the added-to-your-account by default thing. It's a nice perk of being one of two site creators.

If you're an artist, a business or just a social network whore, head on over! Sign up for your own account! Upload your band's music, videos, photos - anything you've got! The site is going to go through some heavy additions in the way of customization, and you'll be very happy with the features that we've got planned for all of you out there (especially those tailored towards specific user types like artist & business). If you sign up now, you're getting in on the ground floor.

Anyhoo, uh...yeah. We're both pleased to offer this site to the content creators of the internet, and also quite worried about how well the machines will handle the load. Speaking of that, if you're reading this and are proficient with any of the following buzz terms, I want to hear from you!


  • PHP

  • CSS

  • Flash

  • MySQL

  • Search optimization

  • Media processing (textual data, images, audio, video, mobile device oriented, etc.)

  • Internationalization

  • Web communities

  • Internet payment systems

  • Linux (we use CentOS - damn you debian for not having drivers for the newest equipment!)

  • Server hardware

  • Networking for LAN, WAN & Internet services

  • Artist management



Not like we're going to be hiring in the next couple of weeks...unless the site explodes in popularity to an insane degree. Here's to hoping, right? But yeah, seriously. Contact me, send me your resume and tell me about yourself and what you've done with regards to the items mentioned above. I'd like to familiarize myself with your work, and I may actually have the chance to bring you guys on the team in some capacity at some point in the not-too-distant future.

So yeah. If you want to reach me, head over to my profile and say 'ello! And while you're at it, go pat Mitcz on the back. You should all be in awe of his design and CSS godliness.

Congratulations dude, I'll check this out as soon as I'm not sitting quietly in the back of a classroom full of people.

So obviously I have to ask, where are you storing all that content? Sounds like time for a NetApp dog & pony show! When I get back from TX I'll buy you beer and we can talk politics and I'll wax ecstatic about storage... :-)

Hell yeah! I'm actually quite nervous about storage. Got one friend helping me out with some stuff...maybe a NetApp powwow is more appropriate? :D

Well that's our whole business, making people less nervous about their storage... when I get back we'll get together and find out what kinda nervous you've got and tell you what we can do about it.

Truth be told, that actually does make me feel way better.

I'll take any excuse I can get to hang out for a few hours, too. :-)

Everything is so pretty. It's evident you've worked your ass off for this site!
