Remember learning of tracks is a two way street and it’s not hard to find out the title of a track just by listening as there are so many audio recognition tools these days. Also, it’s not as if the DJs on Mixify are you neighbours and in completion with you, me included. I don’t use DVS so can’t send metadata but I wish I could but when I play if some one ask the the track info I always give it, it’s about being a community and sharing.
If somebody wants a track ID, I’m happy to give it. That’s not the issue. I have seen instances out there in the icecast/shoutcast scene of people snaking not just a track or two, but several at a time. You are correct that most people on Mixify and other sites are not my ‘neighbors’. There are a few that are close enough, however.
In one light, you know that you you are doing something right if somebody pulls tracks from your mix. But on the other hand, I have seen instances where setlists are just a little too identical.
As a DJ, I would think you would want a way to shape something that is unique, which includes track selection.
On this, I suppose we will have to agree to disagree.
