I don't think så....


Reading your news post tells me that you've got copyright claimed. You can make an appeal, or if you accidentaly closed it you can explain the situation in the audio appeal thread. Uploading music you didn't make is a hard no-no tho so chances of getting unbanned is uncertain. Regarding the mp3, you could try re-exporting the file, I dunno.

Response to: Integration of FLAC into Newgrounds Posted 1 month ago in Audio

At 12/7/23 04:48 PM, BlighterProductions wrote: Response to Positron832:

The problem with both formats (OGG Vorbis and OPUS) is that they are both incapable of storing metadata. So crediting a song or filling in titles, artist names and album titles would be impossible, whereas FLAC supports that.

And also, there are legitimately ways to break even the highest bit rate MP3 encoder there is, such as using a pure 20 kHz sine tone or high frequency percussion with short attack and decay times like hi-hats and especially shakers.

I’ve done tests with these, and found that FLAC was audibly more capable at reproducing these tones than MP3 at 320 kbps was. But granted, since most final masters meant for CD’s get cutoff at 20 Hz and 20 kHz, it wouldn’t really matter indeed.

It would still be a nice perk to have FLAC integrated for when it’s actually necessary.


Vorbis and Opus do support metadata:

I'm also not against FLAC support since Newgrounds allows 250 MB files anyway. I just like small file sizes. Lastly I believe there will always be killer samples for lossy codecs but they are rare enough that they shouldn't be a concern.

I'm completely okay with that!

Response to: The images i uploaded flipped Posted December 1st, 2023 in Where is / How to / Help!

It's rotated for me unless I click it to open it up in the art viewer thingy. I'm guessing it's something with the metadata not being handled correctly on NG's end.

Response to: Game dev needs music Posted December 1st, 2023 in Audio


Two of my proudest works. I can send lossless files if you're interested.

Response to: Integration of FLAC into Newgrounds Posted November 25th, 2023 in Audio

I bet almost no one can reliably tell the difference between a 320 kbps mp3 file from a lossless file, but if Newgrounds allows a maximum file size of 250 MB why not take advantage of it lololol


Honestly I'd prefer if we could upload Vorbis or Opus files since they're better codecs than mp3 but Safari seems to have meh support for it.

Response to: a question regarding authentication tokens Posted October 28th, 2023 in Where is / How to / Help!

Well... usually an app is used to get the token/code for the login when you have two-factor authentication (2FA) enabled. You seem to be using the backup codes which are meant to be used when you can't get a code from the app. After all the backup codes are used I don't think you get new ones unless you disable and enable 2FA again.

No. You're either unpublishing this, or risking removal by mods.

If you know how to use DevTools it's doable. In the networks tab you'll find the link to the cover image, if you're on a page that loads it. Open it in a new tab and replace "_medium" in the URL with "_raw", and try different image formats until you get the full-res image.

I haven't received any comments or reviews on my art on Newgrounds, so I'm assuming this isn't the place to continue putting it. I've removed some pieces in the past year, but I also refrain from sharing much so I have less to remove later.

Too much from someone who does like what I publish would be better than silence.

Of course, I don't want to hear from people who only want to tell me they dislike what I make. That's a waste of time.
You arent scouted yet, so nobody sees your work. Unless you keep posting and being active, you wont be scouted and few people will see It, and seldom anyone will review. Keep going! :D


In my experience, being scouted (at least in the audio portal) doesn't make much of a difference.

Response to: Mp3 bitrate size for uploads? Posted September 28th, 2023 in Audio

I think 160-192 KBps is a good choice for a constant bitrate. 320 KBps is excessive imo. Sadly Newgrounds only accepts mp3s.

Does pinch to zoom work if you tap the art to open it in the Art Viewer first? That lets you do it without zooming the whole page.


Yes that works, but I prefer zooming the whole page as it allows for closer zooms.
