LATER HERO Posted January 2, 2022 Report Posted January 2, 2022 I got several old Pump It Up mp3 files but I am not sure if I should upload some of them. Perhaps that music won't fit with the AK1 mood

Is there something about zip and rar that's preferred over 7z? I use 7-Zip myself and find 7z convenient and afaik every software that can open rar files can also open 7z files 1

I noticed you allowed RAR which also isn't supported on Windows unless you install new software. WinRAR also opens .7z files. I don't know any software that opens .rar but not .7z Edited May 25, 2022 by OroCrimson 1

I don't know any software that opens .rar but not .7z Anything changed on thoughts of 7z support yet? 7-Zip is free and open source, and often has better compression than rar, so outside of some janky technical reasons, it seems like a bit of a strange choice to allow WinRAR but not 7-Zip... It's especially good when bundling different older versions of the same character, while WinRAR compresses each sprite/sound/etc file separately, 7-Zip seems to see the duplicate data and merge it, often reducing the size as though there was only one copy in there. I download a lot of stuff so I've had a lot of test cases, and most of the time 7z gives the better compression ratio (and zip is pretty badly compressed lol) 3 2

To speak frankly here, there is literally no reason to support RAR but not support 7Z. Everyone who can open RAR files can also open 7Z files, and 7Z is generally a better format. 7-Zip is also free software while WinRAR is technically not. Having 7-Zip installed lets you right click and compress as 7z immediately while it takes extra steps to compress as RAR. All around it'd be a lot more convenient if I could upload 7z here as that's what I prefer to use everywhere else. Edited August 7, 2023 by OroCrimson 2
Amaterachu1 Posted August 8, 2023 Author Report Posted August 8, 2023 7z files will not (and honestly have not been to my knowledge) be deleted or converted to zip anymore. 2
FM Mugen Posted June 1, 2024 Report Posted June 1, 2024 About the music uploading rule, particularily the mainstream music sharing section... Can someone post spotify playlists of different genres in the music chat section? I've seen that @Amaterachu1 haves a big collection of hip hop playlists from spotify by example, so I can assume I can do a topic with playlists I have with some underground/mainstream music, or is just something that only moderators or high level users can do? (I hear most of my music on spotify than on youtube)
