Mike
Maybe you need to go back and read your previous post's. If you had not said I was wasting my time we wouldn't be having this conversation. You repeatedly said anyone who hasn't attended hundreds of concerts, like you, doesn't love music enough to write good songs. You repeatedly said if I didn't have your dedication I didn't have any business trying to write songs, that I should quit.
You repeatedly said I didn't deserve to be here because I wasn't Mike Caro. I wasn't good enough if I didn't know every song ever written. How could I possibly believe I could write songs if I didn't have your background in music.
Now maybe you didn't say it in exactly those words but that, to me, is what you said.
Now you tell me it doesn't matter if people on soundclick like my song enough to play it. That anyone can get a number one there?
I have told you I am trying to learn to write more modern country songs and you tell me because I didn't love music enough in the eighties and attend Alan Parsons Project concerts I'll never be able to.

Then you finish it up with this

Whatever gave you that idea? You are the one that has been saying I don't like music enough to be serious about it. You put yourself above me, and I assume, everyone here, because you have attended thousands of concerts and you are a pro and we are only amateurs.
That if we don't eat, sleep, and crap music we will never get anywhere.

Now it may be that I totally misunderstood you and if I did please accept my apology but that is, IMHO, what you have said.

yes, if you play your own song I think it shows in the song count but I don't think it effects the charts.
People who have paid accounts do get a slight advantage in the charts. I don't have a paid account.
