Frequently Asked Questions Table of Contents
q: Is this website even legal?a: Yes, YourQtip.com is legal. We just index the Internet for music files and store the links we get in a database. We do not host the files that are collected, and can not determine the legibility of an MP3. In that case, whoever is actually uploading the MP3s to the World Wide Web is doing the illegal stuff; we are simply organizing the music in an appealing fashion. Back to Topq: What exactly is an MP3 anyways?a:MP3 is short for MPEG-1, audio layer 3. It's basically a digital audio file that's been squeezed into a tiny space while still maintaining high sound quality. MP3 is an open format, which means anyone can use it, and MP3 is widely recognized as the most popular format for storing music on the Web. There are several other audio formats, such as WMA, but MP3s are far the most popular. Back to Topq: How do I add MP3 files to your search engine?a: We allow users to submit individual MP3 files, or web pages containing MP3 files. The music files MUST be in the MP3 format and should already be located on a web server. The submit page is located here. Back to Topq: Are MP3 files legal?a: Yes and No. MP3 files, are legal if the copyrighted owner allows distribution freely of the file. If not, the artist holds copyright for that particular song. Unfortunately, we cannot determine this. Back to Topq: Why can't I download or listen to songs? I could 5 minutes ago! a: Every so often, our servers time out. Unfortunately, there is absolutely nothing we can do to prevent this. But, it would be great if you would like to help prevent this: To preserve download sources, please do not exceed 60 downloads per hour. If you notice that there is a long period of time that our server is down, please contact us. q: Why should I use YourQtip.com to download music, when there are so many other p2p programs I can use, such as Limewire, BearShare, and Kazaa?a: There are many reasons why using this site to download music is better than p2p programs: 1. You do not have to worry about viruses, spyware, adware, etc. Remember, when you use p2p programs, you are randomly downloading files off of a strangers computer. With YourQtip.com, you are downloading a file that is already prechecked for all that junk your computer could live without! YourQtip.com guarantee's that you will not get a virus while downloading music! 2. All tracks can be previewed and played through streaming so you do not have to download the tracks if you just want to listen to them. 3. Downloading via the HTTP protocol is faster because web servers have much faster internet connections than most peer-to-peer file sharing users. Your downloads will never stop half way or slow to a halt like you might experience when using file sharing programs. 4. If one link is dead, there are a boatload of other links you can use that will work fine. With several p2p programs, there are few sources, so if one link is dead, you're out of luck! 5. We are more convenient than file sharing since our web site can be accessed anywhere without any additional software. Back to Topq: Where can I find the answer to my question if it is not answered here? a: Feel free to contact us! |
