duckett 235 posts	. permalink Wed, Mar 19, 2008 @ 3:10 PM I don’t mean to be a pain, but is there any way to indicate added files, before clicking the “download” button? Some indication of “more than just the one file available” might be helpful when initially perusing a remix page, it’s not immediately apparent (shrug)
teru 448 posts	. permalink Wed, Mar 19, 2008 @ 4:03 PM I think I’ve got serious avatar envy. ;) Seriously though, I think a “multiple_sources” tag would be really cool.
	. permalink duckett Wed, Mar 19, 2008 @ 4:22 PM (smiles, shakes head, shrugs) I never realized people would like “the dancing duck” so much! Thanks for the prompt response, I wouldn’t have mentioned it, but both me and others seem to be having some “huh?” moments ;-)
spinmeister 454 posts	. permalink Wed, Mar 19, 2008 @ 5:30 PM I agree with both of you: - it would be nice to see that there are more goodies than just the main file - the dancing duck is one of the coolest avatars on the site - brings back memories of 1976 :-)
	. permalink duckett Wed, Mar 19, 2008 @ 6:40 PM without even clicking, let me guess- Rick Dees and “Disco Duck”? “WAAUGH!” (calm down, Howard- I’m sure the nice Mr. Spinmeister isn’t holding your 80’s movie against you.) Get Down, America! Howard ‘08 ;-)
	. permalink spinmeister Thu, Mar 20, 2008 @ 9:03 AM of course! :-)
victor 1807 posts	. permalink Wed, Mar 19, 2008 @ 7:31 PM pixels are at a premium in the listing but I managed to squeeze in an ‘s’ at the end of ‘download’ for cases with multiple files. Hover over the link to see how many. Sorry best I could on short notice ;) a tag is further down the road but the ‘archive’ and ‘zip’ tags are pretty good indicators.
	. permalink duckett Wed, Mar 19, 2008 @ 7:52 PM (whining) But, but, but… come onnnnnn! We want everything, right now! Why doesn’t ccMixter relieve my lower-back pain, file my taxes, and keep telemarketers away? Geez, you’d think there were more important things in life for people to worry about, or something… ;-)

	. permalink duckett Thu, Mar 20, 2008 @ 2:47 PM LOL I sense a future remix title here… Thx for making ccMixter what it is!
	. permalink spinmeister Thu, Mar 20, 2008 @ 9:05 AM great little trick! thanks! One of these days you’ll have to write a “ccMixter for Dummies” book :-)
	. permalink victor Thu, Mar 20, 2008 @ 11:14 AM actually, I just added it in (a paltry) response to this thread.
	. permalink spinmeister Thu, Mar 20, 2008 @ 2:26 PM you are too modest. What other website ever reacts that quickly to its user’s requests? I can’t think of any. Maybe the book you should really write is “writing and managing a great community web site for dummies”! Many other sites could learn from you. thanks again!
