Music is an art form too, dA!

One rather irritating thing that was recently brought to my attention about dA is that there is no way to submit music. WTF? Music is an art form too! I don't think the big boys at deviantart really realize how big their musical user base truly is. I can understand concerns that people have about their music getting stolen, but, at the very least, it could be a 30 second low quality sample. This could be a huge prospective market for dA- not only would the population of this site grow, but the audience would as well- Imagine if we as users could stick music we ourselves make onto deviantart, and maybe have something like a slideshow of artwork to play alongside the music. Djs like me could post their mixes; bands could post their jams; theres a huge amount of possibilities. Something like that would make the site more appealing from a creative perspective. Deviantart has been 99% creative up until now, so what's next? I understand the difficulties legally, but you guys up there at the top running this place are already risk takers, so lets take a few risks.

that's a really good idea actually, the only thing that'd be difficult would be getting the clearance to post videos.
thanks for the contribution :lol:
