Yeah, there's been some pretty major topic drift and we've been discussing collaborative music project hosting for a while. I personally like some downbeat trip-hop type stuff that could be considered "chillout", I guess, and have written a bit in that vein long ago, but I don't have much to contribute to a piece in any electronic music genre right now. My emotions are frankly a little raw due to some unfortunate events in the recent past, and cool compositions in unsyncopated 4/4 time with a click track and a bunch of synths are not something I can make work at the moment. > BTW.: Why should the server have to internally know about things > like tempo.

Actually, it was you who first mentioned specifying the tempo of a song; I merely stated why I thought that was a poor idea. I don't even think the server needs to know where the beats or measures lie (again, because my preferred style of music doesn't necessarily adhere to one meter for the whole piece.) I think the way to do it is to upload tracks as discrete, app-independent waveforms and enter an offset. But as I laid out in my original post on the thread, my overly ambitious take on the project involves actually doing mixdowns on the server through a web interface, not merely storage.
