Nectarine Compo #5 - Tribute to..12:49 p.m. - April 26, 2010 (CEST)
Hello everyone! Nectarine Compo #05 is already running for some time as many of you know. But I decided to announce it in news, because there are also people not reading the forum and because there are 2 changes:)
Because I temporarily have no access to change threads, I will try to shortly tell the rules and changes here (so take this as complete and only rules for compo).
RULES
- Choose your favourite author/s and make remix of his/their songs. No time limit.
- remix 1 or more (unlimited) songs in 1 from ANY author/s (living or R.I.P.) (can be from different authors)
- song name format: NC05-YourNick-SongName
NC05 is constant
YourNick is your artist name
SongName should fit the theme, or song/author you did choose (for example, mix of 3 hubbard's songs can be named "Hubbard's Megamix".. however, it's just my recommendation and it's up to your decision.. I will accept any name)
- pay attention to [mp3] encoding.. Nectarine can play only CBR (as far as I know)
- no tags/info in song, keep it anonymouos (but you can leave informations about genre, year and other not author relative informations)
SONG SENDING CHANGED - Pay attention!
- when you are done, send the song on my e-mail (below) and you can PM me here to be sure I got it. I should answer you as soon as I see it and add you to the list of contributors in news.
michalsefl at gmail dot com
(sending has been changed, because Nectarine is not yet prepared for compo uploading as I planned)
VOTING
- Voting will remain the same as in last compo. Just choose song, when it's released (it will be 1-2 days after date in topic name) in competition section and comment it with "1-100" text, where 1-100 is your vote ("72" for example), 1 is awful and 100 is awesome. You can comment it, but it's ONLY optional, not required:)
UNTIL: 22.05.2010
(2 weeks added as compensation for changes)
The compo results:
Sorted by place
Song number | Average score | Final place
04 | 85,20 | 1. Spiral
07 | 83,20 | 2. rams
05 | 80,70 | 3. rams
11 | 80,25 | 4. Ultrasyd
02 | 76,68 | 5. serpent
01 | 74,21 | 6. lemonade
08 | 71,11 | 7. Elrinth
09 | 69,75 | 8. rams
06 | 61,70 | 9. maxuser6000
03 | 60,53 | 10. Danger
10 | 45,50 | 11. rams
12 | 40,85 | 12. maxuser6000
13 | 38,00 | 13. maxuser6000
Thank you for understanding:)

Moving to new server10:02 p.m. - March 19, 2010 (CET)
Server moved! Any problems, please report in forum or PM to Terrasque or Arab
Hello, we'll be moving the site over to a new server soon, probably sunday.
As a consequence of that, the site will be down while we're moving over the latest data.
We'll be moving to a VM on Locutus' server, which have proven itself much faster than current server.
We might move over some of the data in the days before site is down, and that can cause site slowness / stream skipping in short periods. We apologize for this, and hope people are understanding.
Nectarine Compo #0410:49 a.m. - February 11, 2010 (CET)
Another Nectarine compo is over.
This time, it was XM/MOD compo, that 9 artist with 7 songs joined. And it is/was great! Check it yourself;)
Voting phase will last until 14.02.2010, midnight (CET +-). So, don't forget to check following thread: Nectarine Compo #04 | Voting & Results, and vote for your favourites!

Birthday contest!7:25 p.m. - September 17, 2009 (CEST)
Demovibes Compo #2 - Happy Birthday Nectarine!
(thanks to Elrinth - used his template from Compo #1)
As some of you already realized, today it's 1 year, since Nectarine revival project (recently Demovibes) - was launched. It was year, full of he-man's, ponies, umd intro and another great (or funny at least) songs, which we were used to hear each day:D Well.. I will skip my speech at this moment and leave it for better speakers.
My idea is, that this event deserves some special act.. and what's more suitable, than Compo #2! I hope, that this time, more of composers will participate and we will meet some new awesome songs to remember this event.
Assignment:
Compose song to celebrate first birthday of reconstructed Nectarine.
Rules:
There are no restrictions about, what you melody you can do, use or mix. You can use any software/hardware and voice records. Song duration is limited to 10 minutes. Also you can name your song as you want, it will be anyway packed in "Happy Birthday Nectarine" album with other competitor's songs. Just keep the theme:)
Last date for handing in song: 30th September@ 23:59:59 GMT +1 (Prague time).
All songs should be sent to one of my emails (you can send copy to both for sure):
danger at email dot cz
michalsefl at gmail dot com
You can also send me link to ICQ (117-956-027) or nectarine message. When you dont receive my immediate confirmation (im offline sometimes:D), feel free to spam-send it again for sure.
Voting:
Album will be posted here during the morning at 1st October and ppl will vote for 2 days to see who will win. You can give each tune 1-5 score. Composers will remain anonymous until I've counted the votes.
Win:
I'm not sure about price yet, because this compo is meant to celebrate Nectarine's Birthday, but maybe we will find something suitable;) Any ideas are welcomed.
If you have questions about the compo place them here and some random person will answer if you're lucky! :D
*** IMPORTANT: Don't post here any song you make for compo! ***
You can participate even with more than 1 song.
Preferred format is MP3.

Firefox addon11:20 a.m. - August 17, 2009 (CEST)
I love user input, really i do.
korkut did some fantastic work on making a Firefox addon, that allows you to view/write oneliner messages from the browser statusbar. But wait! There's even more! Since v1.0 you can even rank the currently plaing song!
Grab it here, and read about it in this forum thread.
Stay tuned!
P.S. The name is: Şeftali - which of course translates to... nah, google it :P
P.S. #2. As it seems, there are more apps of this kind, although not as multiplatfrom as this one. If you go to this thread in our forums, you'll get to grab a tool by Danger made for the Windows system tray.
I'm sure, there are more.
News from the front1:15 p.m. - July 24, 2009 (CEST)
Good GREAT news everybody!!!
We've recieved almost all the data from Yes (still waiting for the database data), we can finally rebrand our most beloved site back to what it should be named in the first place.
That means, we're rebranding back to the name: Nectarine.
As you might have already noticed, all the old logos (~180 - some were broken) are back!
Before anyone asks: no, the tunes have not yet been added to the database, as we miss essential meta data (votes, download links, etc.). It'll be done as soon as we get the legacy Nectarine db (not the mp3's) uploaded and converted to the current site engine.
Right now there are >18,000 songs waiting to be processed (that's 60 GB of pure mp3 data).
Stay tuned!
Queue inserts exploit11:16 a.m. - July 8, 2009 (CEST)
To everyone using the bug that allows for requesting more than 4 songs at a time:
We _ARE_ watching. Expect to get yourself banned from the site for using the exploit after this message.
