The search result cannot be transfered to Twitter in my environment. Is there any trouble at this moment? I have tried with Firefox, Chorome and IE7. But the same trouble remained. I am happy if you inform me of something. Thanks & best regards. abesac

How long does a song stay active on song.ly? I posted a song last night and today it say's song not found. I've checked the song and it's still in the same location (posted on skydrive.live.com)

There's currently no time limit on Song.ly - most probably it's skydrive limit. Could you please provide us with the Song.ly link you're talking about?

Hmm - I did not think of skydrive, but here is the link http://song.ly/2wv1 and here is the skydrive public link
Are there any plans to create RSS feed links for radio stations? I would love to use an RSS feed or the API to pull a list of songs for a radio station.

There's currently no way to do that, but that's a great idea and we'll research that!

Sorry for the delay in our response! Yes, Seeqpod we used to use for searching music went down. We swithced to Tagoo a couple of days ago, it should work now!

There is no easy way to post a song.ly link from the iPhone. Using the standard website doesn't really work, it passes you through to the mobile Twitter page without filling in the tweet. How about an iPhone version of the web page, or even an iPhone app? I'd like to be able to search for songs, preview them, and pass tweets on to Tweetie for posting.

Sorry for the delay. Do you mean Song.ly link or Song.ly flash player?
eunderlinej

I mean Song.ly flash player, that embeded mini player!

It seems like the only way to do that is to ask Friendfeed for this feature to impement. We'll contact them about this. Thanks for the idea!

I'm a newbie. Where does the songs in Song.ly come from? I find that I get a message "file not found" on some searches. Also, is it possible for me to post songs to Song.ly? How?
songly
· 6 months ago
Hi Joey,
All the songs are hosted somewhere on the web on 3rd party websites, that's why some links do not work. We use 3rd party music search engine to perform searches. To post a song to Song.ly, just post URL to its mp3 to the edit box on our home page (the mp3 file must be hosted somewhere.)

Hi again..do the pages/srchives have a time limit?
I only have a one page archive now..and when I try to play the older tunes they say the files are no longer there. How many pages can be stored . I used to have 2..now I have one.
Cheers and thanks

Hi,
Thanks for pointing this out. Seems like a bug... Please allow us some time to investigate and fix this!
Thanks for the suggestion Dan! So far Song.ly is supported by Tweetie and Twittelator Pro Twitter iPhone apps. Song.ly mobile version is in the plans.

Is Song.ly still down -- every song I search comes back with no results (now for three days). Is it me?
songly
· 5 months ago
This is strange - I've just checked and it works fine for me... Can you go to http://tagoo.ru/ from your browser and check if you have access to it? (this is our search provider)
Paco Armijo
· 5 months ago
Sorry -- I posted again before checking site. When I follow http://tagoo.ru/ I am able to search and pull-up songs. However, when I search on Song.ly I still get zero hits (even on songs others are finding on Song.ly). Thank you for your help.

Discovered my FireWall is what's blocking the results. What ports need to be opened for Song.ly? I'm using MacOS 10.5.7 and Intego's NetBarrier X5
Paco Armijo
· 5 months ago
Discovered what on my FireWall (NetBarrier X5) is enabled that is preventing hits on Song.ly -- that is the "Hide information on the last Web site visited." If I turn off the aforementioned feature then Song.ly search works properly.
Why does Song.ly need information on the last Web site I visited?
How is the information on the last Web site I visited used by Song.ly?

Sorry for the delay, and good to hear you found out the reason!
Song.ly itself doesn't need this information. However, it seems like Tagoo - the 3rd party service we use for search - needs it.

When I search Song.ly with Safari 4.0.1 I always get zero hits and the same is true with FireFox 3.0.11 -- am I doing something wrong?

Love the idea of tweeting music, thanks. However, there are 2 of us sharing this computer, and as your site doesn't allow direct login to twitter (like twitpic etc have twitter details login boxes on their page), it takes an age to have to log out, then relink the twitter accounts between users.

How come the direct http links don't show on some song.ly pages, but shows on some?
songly
· 4 months ago
Hi Julius,
The direct link is shown when the user provides it via submitting it on the Song.ly homepage. However, if the song is found via our intergated music search, direct links are not shown as we use a 3rd party music search provider.
Julius

You need to have a feature where we can also provide a link to an image (an artist's photo, album cover, etc.) and the image is displayed on the same page as the Flash player, preferably resized in the HTML declaration to fit into some pre-sized box.
This is necessary so that when we post a song.ly link to Facebook, we get to choose a thumbnail that relates to the song. Currently the only choice is the song.ly logo, because that's the only image on the page.

Hi,
Thanks for this pointing out!
Our search function is provided by a 3rd-party service provider, we've contacted them to find out the cause of this problem.

Also, do you share your Amazon revenue with users?
In your tweet template, I think you should switch the artist name first and place the link after.
Is there a way you can integrate the artists's actual twitter name in the tweet?
So if I click on an artist & they have a Twitter account, it will autmotaically formulate it with a mention to their name.
Just some thoughts.
I'm searching for the right program to share my music while I tweet. This seems more intuitive than blip.fm.
