.: Frequently Asked Questions :.

These are only general answers to questions.
If you do not find the answer here,
you may want to post the question
in the Singer's Showcase forum.

How do I submit a song?

After you login, click on Submit. Click browse and locate the song you wish to upload. (Note: this must be in MP3 format.) Select the Genre your submission is in. Type in the Title of your submission. Enter the original artists name, you may leave blank or add your name if it is an original work. Enter a description about the song. After all fields are completed click the "Submit Recording" button. This may take a few minutes, because some songs are rather large. Please be patient and do not click the submit button again.

What if I don't want to others to rank my submission?
	If you don't want to have a submission ranked, simply check 'No' on the submission page which says "Rank Submission?". The option of ranking will be removed for all members however, comments will still be available.

How do I comment on a song?
	After you login, you may select any song from the list by clicking on the title. Then at the bottom of the page below the other comments is a place to insert your comments and rank the song. That is if the submitter has allowed this option.

Can I leave comments without casting a score?

Well, the answer is Yes & No.
We would like you to rank the performance, if the submitter has permitted this.
You can select "prefer not to rank" this will not count against the singer!
The comment section is to either:

explain why you provided that score
give the submitter critiques of their performance
let them know that you enjoyed it

Preferably you would do a little of each, but at least one of the first two. The comment section is not to start a conversation/discussion, that is why we have the forums.

May I respond to someone's comment?

Yes, only if the comment is on a song you submitted.
Just remember by submitting your songs in the Singer's Showcase you are welcoming others' to provide their comments. You may not agree with the comments or ranks given, nevertheless, it is inappropriate to berate someone in the comment section of the song submission. Most will be critiques to help you improve. However, if you have a valid complaint, please contact the site administrators who will then determine the appropriateness and possibly remove the offending post.

How do I update my profile?
	After you login, click 'Modify' Here you will be able to enter some information about yourself and select a color scheme. If you are a Premium Member you can enter a brief Bio and submit an image.

I paid my membership fee, when will I be upgraded?

Please be advised that it may take up to 24 hours for your account to be upgraded from Standard.
This is so we can verify funds and confirm that the correct account is credited.
In fact, we often receive funds from some who are using a different email address for their PayPal account, which doesn't match the email provided upon registration. Since we do not know your "Real Name" here only your username it makes it difficult to confirm this.
Therefore, we will be sending confirmation emails to the addresses provided by PayPal asking for two items: the username and the email address used on any Karaoke Scene site.

How do I upgrade, downgrade or cancel my membership?

If you wish to upgrade or downgrade from another paid level, follow these instructions:

Make certain that you are properly logged into SS.
Click the "upgrade" link (below your username on the righthand side)
Click the "Cancel Subscription" button. (located near the bottom of the page)
Follow the instructions on the PayPal page (you may need to login first)
Return to the Singer's Showcase
Again, click the "upgrade" link
Choose the level you wish to upgrade to.
Complete the PayPal requested information, including your address.

PLEASE DO NOT SUBMIT YOU UPGRADE REQUEST MORE THAN ONCE!

What if someone has submitted a song that I want to?
	One would believe that with the multitude of karaoke versions of songs available, no two songs would be the same. However, this may occur. While not making it a requirement we suggest that if you wish to submit a song that is already listed that you wait at least a week before you submit your version.

Can I delete a song?

Yes, however, all submissions are required to be posted at least 5 days prior to them being deleted by the member. After 5 days a delete button will appear, not until then. However, Paid members may delete any song at anytime!
If you need to have a song deleted prior to the five days, please contact the moderators and explain why your song needs to be deleted. Remember we need to know your username, song title and the reason.

How do I delete a song?
	After you login, click your username (upper righthand side) Here you will see your profile and all submitted songs. Next to each song you will see an option to Edit or Delete.

Can I download a song?

NO, We are only providing a means by which someone can "Showcase" their talent for the world to listen to. We allow members to listen to the works of others but do not allow them to be downloaded or stored on another computer. There are many reasons for this just one being possible violations of copyright laws.
Whether it is being paid for or not, it would be distributed if we allowed for downloading. To avoid any possible liscencing issues, we permit listening only.
Additionally, we are protecting the privacy of the submitter. Their works are only available on this site, which they have personally submitted them to. If someone was to download the singers submission they could very well put it elsewhere on the internet. Without the original submitters permission.
