RBN New Release thread.

Hmmm...if Demon woman just popped up then that means it takes about 3 days from a song being approved to appear in the store.

We'll still have to see how weekends affect the time of post-approval "quarantine". We just got James William Roy's "Shiny Dark Bar" through Friday afternoon, so that will be a good test.


And one request on the listing: could we get it in reverse chronological order? Newest at the top?

Thanks for doing this. Wish that HMX had something for it themselves already in place, but it's good to have awesome community volunteers!

It takes them an extra few hours to show up in Canada I guess, because they aren't up in the store yet (FofC, others that came out today) and I can't access the page on xbox.com since it's not in my region yet. Also, Code Monkey and Cali Girl are both still listed as 0 MSP and crash the system when i try to access them.

Well, partially so: that's the raw data, but I'd like to be able to see the day's releases all on its own.

So what noble's doing is cool with me, but it takes his attention to do so. It could be automated fairly easily by HMX! And then we could point some twitter or RSS feeds at it (or even email list), so you get notified via your favorite channel.

I suppose we could write some sort of process to "scrape" that data off the page and poll it regularly. Hrrrmmm...

Good idea on putting the newest stuff first. I'll get the original post changed.

Also until the songs physically show up in the store I won't post them in this thread as being 'available'.

I know there's a work around of some sorts to find the songs on xbox.com, but I'm not going to list those as available.

I'm glad there are all these songs, however alot of them charging 160, have just lost a purchase, mostly the ones that I was on the fence about such as Glass Hammer and Steve Vai. I realize they need to make money, but charging 80 instead of 160 for non HMX made songs makes sense, in the long run they'll probably make more at 80 rather than 160, with that in mind im glad the Flogging Molly songs are 80 along with some others, I'll still get JoCo at 160 each but his reg. DLC songs are 80, so w/e RBN still rules.

I don't really considering going to a HMX page and clicking a link a workaround.

See I didn't realize this option was available.

Last I knew there was some links on xbox.com and people were changing numbers around in the link to find the songs on the site.

Yep, they fixed up the song pages sometime yesterday so that they all have working links to the xbox.com page for the song.

I don't know why it matters. I find them just as fun as if HMX would've made it. And it's not like it's just indie bands that are on/coming to RBN either.

Yeah, 80 MSP will help push me over the fence if I find the song only just mediocre. But that same thing is even true for me with HMX produced DLC. I love JoCo, so I don't mind paying 160 points for him. He's worth it to me. Same with Amberian Dawn and other songs I paid 160 points for on RBN.
