Hello,
I'm baffled as I've just been through the most recent acapella uploads and I can genuinely say this that in all the time we've had ACAPELLAS4U I've never seen so much sh*t uploaded I really haven't!
What's wrong people?? If it carries on like that then we're going to have to add some serious changes to the way we do things here.
Not sure if it's just a few spoiling it for the rest of us at the minute looking for a quick credit, we're fully aware of the guys and girls we see in the upload list who we know we can just think 'ah no worries, it's blah, approve the file' so no fear there - respect to you all.
So, come on, let's not see this happen again in such a drastic fashion..
All I can say is I'm absolutely astounded at how quickly we keep growing and we've finally reached the 100k mark.
I guess all there is for me to personally say is to thankyou each and every one of you for continuing to spread the word and to keep on enjoying everything that we offer here and we just want to ensure everyone keeps on enjoying making music.. that's all we've ever wanted.
As a very special one off we're going to give everyone an extra 10 bonus downloads to use whenever you want, ok?
*all we gotta do is to just work out the insert on duplicate MySQL query*
Any l33t MySQL heads out there? Please get in touch...

Well, I've finally done it... after sitting in front the computer (and now with an extremely sore neck and butt) I'm glad to report that the collection of acapellas has had a really REALLY good tidy up.
Every folder has had the following treatment:
1) Searches for 'tool' moved to _DJ_TOOLS_ folder.
2) Searches for 'feat' renamed to 'ft.'
3) Searches for 'better_quality' - old dupes removed.
4) Sorts A-Z to ensure stray files weren't present.
5) Unknowns & Various artists moved to _UNKNOWNS_
6) Presence of '_-_' double-checked to ensure consistency with filenames/prevention of further dupes.

Sorry about this but we're afraid that I accidentally clicked DELETE ALL link and wiped out a few hundred comments that had been logged about the acapellas.
There's no easy way to restore any logs unfortunately so all I can do is apologise and ask you to resubmit any issues that you may have logged over this time.

Hi All
Well, here we are at the end of the competition and we have had a very enjoyable time; listening to all the entries.
Firstly, we would like to thank each and every one of you for all the hard work you put in on the 'Mission Control' Remix.
The decision to pick a winner was so difficult, as so many different styles were entered. After lots of discussions and arguments, we agreed on the top ten and more importantly, the winner
The quality of mixes entered were also amazing! You guys seem to really know what you're doing. And even if you didn’t win, definitely continue with what you are doing - good things await. Well, done to all and good luck with everything in the future!
So, the top 3 are as follows (in reverse order):-
3rd Place: Mission control - De-Fine music mix
A fantastic house mix, we loved the side chaining you have going on here DE-Fine, very cool and well produced sound!
2nd Place: Mission Control - (Johnny Roth Remix)
Johnny, the decision to put you in 2nd place was a very hard one, it was sooo close.
This mix is the true sound of Summer, every time I hear this, I imagine driving through the Countryside with the top down…..very very cool!
And the Winner is………………
1st Place: Mission Control - (Remix by DJ Sugs)
A very unexpected mix this one, it really caught our attention due to the live feel the song has. The drum work and structure of the song is very cool…it sounds like Bloc party and The Killers have got together to records a version of the song, we love it![/b]
So Congratulations DJ Sugs…you have won a T-Shirt, a signed copy of the album and your mix will be released on iTunes for the world to hear!
All the tracks can be heard here if you haven't heard them yet or simply just wanted to listen to 'em again.
Finally, I would like to thank Acapellas4u and all it’s moderators, for being such good hosts for this competition and helping us out with the organization of everything, you are all true stars…especially acapella!!
We have also made some good friends here and this is what music is all about, mixing up the fun with like minded buddies!
