THIS IS NOT AN ATTACK, I REPEAT NOT AN ATTACK
Hey Teach(TCC), can you explain how the ranking system works on this site, it just doesn't add up. Maybe you can enlighten me. I thought this site was promoting THE SITE. Any "big name band" or any computer minded indiv. can come on here and just do nothing and gain everything. I was thinking the site promoted individual bands for not only being on here but for actually using the site, PLAYS, COMMENTS, BLOGS, PLAYS, LEAVING COMMENTS, PLAYS, ANSWERING OTHER BLOGS, COMMUNITY. TO simply be able to just have hits on a page where people come check it out is a MYSPACE. I thought fuzz was more than that, but it seems they are a fancier MYSPACE. And if it reflects sales, what if you don't want to charge. I could also buy songs from other computers, and have friends buy songs and pay them back. This system should reflect a direct use of being on this site. You should have merit for using the site. Not laying an egg and leaving as it goes "gold". I thought this site had more of a personality, more of an unsigned flavor, maybe the "times are a changing" on here. I mean I left something for David Cook. No response nothing, so it's an egg laid and just laying there. Is he actually using the site? I can go to Rolling stone and see who the top signed artist's our and how much they sell. There are plenty of sites for that. Maybe you can explain. Frankly, I have been to many more pages that are much more exciting than Fuzz's. I have been all over this site and not one is something I would go to for exciting action. I go to LISTEN TO MUSIC AND COMMENT. I understand that people as yourself write interesting articles, but it's a music site. I love the group ALmost Fabulous(DS:) is a fav of mine, Philly too), but they our on the charts, like 68 or something like that, they don't even have music. Is this a Musical Uprising or Vocal Uprising? Something on this site is so mixed up. Please your keen insight would be appreciated. I'm asking questions that warrant answers, I'm not "ATTACKING" the site............. Isn't it fair to know what merits the charts hold. If you spend a great deal of time on a site where you thought this was rewarded, and are proud of the fact you are rewarded for actually using the site. I would like to narrow it down, not waste my time. Maybe I just need to have a bunch of links to this site. People click on, don't write me any comments, don't listen to any of my music and don't come to any other band pages to hear any other of their music. I will put in my c.d. insert. ALL fans just go to fuzz and click on Jostel Hason............. If this is how it works, I guess I need to get in the real game and get the fuck off the bench. I think a couple of fake profile should work for me too, No difference in my book. If this site is that impeprsonalable then what is the difference. Having someone not on the site being rewarded or having someone on the site using fake profiles actually using the site. I guess I need to go to all my sites, make some new ones, 'color' a word and when people click on it brings them to my Jostel page, then they say " what the hell" and click off. Thanks Jostel P>S> I am actually posting this as a blog. Would love everyones opinion. I am going to do my thing regardless of charts, but if you have them, what do they stand for, and what do they mean!!!!!!! It means that your band gets more plays and notoriety, isn't that what we all want, to be heard... If you spend the time..........??????????????????????????????? Much love and respect Jostel Hason

As for the charts and the ranking system, I have no idea how the present algorithm works - although I sense that it is just a temporary patch/counting mechanism while the fuzz management [I am not part of the management] attend to other pressing matters. Thus, I would not expend too much emotional energy on the charts [for now]. It is just one of many developing "music discovery" functionalities on the site and, based on my conversations with the fuzz folks, I believe "fixing the charts" is still on their long, long "stuff to do" list and that they will get to it in time.
As for your other well considered and articulated concerns, I would like to reflect further on the points you raise and revert in due course here or by PM. I for one always value and appreciate your presence here.
Cheers, TCC
Thanx for your answer. I guess one problem is that "single file streaming" belongs to different publishing rights than "embedded flash player plays". Once a song is enabled for single file streaming a lot of different websites and web services (aggregators like the hype machine or skreemr ) can use the mp3s. That's why a lot of artists and labels won't allow it.
I doubt that fuzz has the publishing rights to allow single file streaming for most songs that are available on fuzz.
