Upload new versions of your tracks

You know what is nice about vacation?
Having enough time to be human, be with the family, and also being able to sneak off into my room and get long-awaited alonetone features into production and long-standing bugs wiped off my plate.
Highlights for this round of updates:
Upload a new version of a track. That's right. It's finally here. Nothing fancy, just the ability to completely replace a track. It'll delete the old version from our servers. This is ideal for waking up the day after you toiled all night on a track and realize that the mix was a bit...how shall we say....off? Simply edit the track, choose your shiny new mix and no one will be the wiser.
Comments and forum posts will now obey your return key. That's right, no more strange formatting! Things that you type into alonetone will appear as you typed them, which really should have happened to begin with, but hey.
No more facebook integration. The largest of our resident 'elephants in the room' - the ability to browse alonetone music on facebook and add it to your profile - is now completely removed from alonetone. Yup, this loss of a feature is a very good thing for alonetone - it means I get to stop trying to keep up with their crazy changing system and focus on core alonetone. For those of you who want to add your tracks to your profile, fear not - this is all built into facebook anyway, and the alonetone facebook app was really just a lump of redundant code that was making development more difficult and bulky.
Hmm, lets see...I hammered out like 10 more bug fixes that were outstanding. Still about 20 more to go, but good progress has been made.
Oh, and don't forget to speak up if you want some alonetone guitar pics. Supplies are limited, especially in the thin department.

Can I just say: Screw Facebook. It's a waste of time and I predict that it will be out of favor with the Webs That Be by the end of 2009. Screw that noise.

Here here! My morale for working on alonetone went up by 500% after removing all that facebook code.

Ditto on the Facebook issue. We only joined to help alonetone get the server space, etc. Now we only get messages from all the people we've tried to avoid in the first place. Ugh.

I always sneak a little notepad along to do design/coding while on vacation, so I'm glad I'm not the only one :-) Thanks for all the hard work!
Whereabouts in CA are you vacationing (in the rain)?

Since people don't generally do much constructive critiquing of songs here, I think that a simple replacement of a song with a new version will work just fine, as long as we can edit the description to update info on it.
I assume that does NOT update the song and description that is up on iTunes/podcast via alonetone, right?

yea man. REplace, nice. been wanting that. and unless you REtitle it no one will know. i mean people might have listened to the track and thought "hm, no, this is a bit poo", and then you go off and make changes (coz you also thought it was poo) REmix it etc and REpost it. them lot how thought it were poo may not go back to it unless they know theres been changes. ...why am i still talking?
