My Music
One of the songs I posted got removed for infringement. I have no idea what it was as the information in regard to the infringement listed the site, but when I clicked it, the post had already been taken down.
I am leaning toward far older music as that seems not to attract any attention. My other idea is to post the music on another site, not my WordPress account, so the other site could be taken down without Coffee being affected.
If you have any other ideas, do let me know!

Too bad!
The link-name should help to identify the song, also https://web.archive.org/web has archived some of your pages, but that doesn’t help for the future. An extra music site may work, or just YouTube links for now?

Birgit,
It was a Coldplay song, but I don’t know when it was posted.
Richard also suggested You Tube so that may be the way to go.
Happy Birthday!!

Really? Must have been many years ago. Are you sure you posted this song and isn’t the post date in the link?
In case German lawyers are involved don’t trust their information. Hordes of them trawl the whole internet for profit. Annoying and very expensive for us. Fortunately your laws are more reasonable for ordinary internet users than ours. No hope for the better in Merkelland.
Thank You!

Birgit,
There was no post date in the message. When I went to the link where the song was, there was a page with the W and not much else. This is only the second time, which considering how much I post, is amazing.

Not the message, the name of the link with is something like http-blog-wordpress-date-title-html for the post and http-blog-files-wordpress-year-month-songfilename-mp3 for the music file. (copy link location and paste where you can read it).
Anyway, not really important if you trust wordpress.
Currently I’m thinking about how to remove old music to lessen the risk for your blog, your music doesn’t have to be available forever. I think last time you wrote that you would have to edit each music post. Right, too much work.
No solution yet… just thinking…
1. is it legally sufficient to remove the music files itself and the post can stay online? Are the files stored in wordpress (not possible with free account) or externally stored? Bulk removing possible?
2. Old “Categories: Music” posts have to disappear? Not nice but safer.
It seems bulk removing isn’t possible but maybe bulk editing to password-protected? (Mind the note)

3. Apparently setting privacy options to hidden is only possible for the whole blog, not for single posts? Not perfect anyway.
4. it’s late, I’m tired, maybe more useless thoughts tomorrow…

Birgit,
I can go into each post and trash the music player, but I think it is the download link which is the issue. I never looked to see if WordPress stores each song, but it probably does in the media library. I suspect it would take a long time to remove the music slides on each music post.
Making it private, I think, wouldn’t allow new readers. I have had a few comments from first timers in the last few weeks.
I am flummoxed!
I hope you had a great birthday.

Thanks, Kat, I think I understand now.
I thought of ‘hidden’ (hidden to search machines) not ‘private’ just for just the music posts, but it’s neither possible for single posts nor really safe anyway.
What if you just put these download links as comments into the picture post like you do with the quote source? Would it help at least for new music posts? In my opinion download links aren’t necessary at all but it’s your blog and choice.

Birgit,
Today I just have the music and no links. I think maybe putting them in the comments might be a good idea. Thanks!

Quick internet search, more thoughts and finds, no solution yet.

Post is still online, player is removed, box-link is not working but NOT removed.
Cp’s Beautiful World may have been on your blog but apparently it’s gone.
I couldn’t find other Cp takedowns on wordpress so far. So no hint yet whether the player alone is a risk.
Several obscure free-download-sites linked your music with reference to your blog (either post link or wordpress file link). Big problem!
This UK complainer is apparently one of the bigger copyright players but it’s strange that information about behavior and credibility is nearly absent.
Your 2012 music is still playing (ok, I’ve only checked 2 of them) though the box links don’t work anymore. So where are these old files still stored??? Do you upload them twice or do you embed the external link (box or else) in the player? Please check your wp media library, bulk removing of photos is possible, may work for audio files too.

Birgit,
I guess just playing the music is too much. The Box link is no longer viable after one week. I delete it and it disappears after I do.
My media file is at 57%. If it gets higher, I can always remove the older files.
I know I can remove files, but I haven’t investigated bulk removal.
The player is from WordPress. I load a song into the media library and then can imbed it on the page. I can also remove them one at a time from the media file. I didn’t realize that playing them is also violating copywrite.
Thanks for all the hunting.

Kat, I don’t think older music would solve the problem. Copyright is generally the life of the author (creator) plus 70 years – here’s a link:
http://www.copyright.gov/help/faq/faq-index.html
Posting YouTube links may be the most viable option for now. If viewers want to download a particular piece, all they need is a site that’ll convert the YT vid to a .mp3 file … again, here’s a link:
http://convert2mp3.net/en/index.php
I use that all the time to convert YT to .mp3 files for my iTunes library … I hope these ideas are helpful.
In the meantime, here’s a ‘summer’-themed piece by David Lanz titled ‘Summer’s Child’ … appropriate enough, considering our heat index was 108° last nite until 2200 hrs … and now, to begin …

Richard,
I think the You Tube is a good solution. I’ll give it a try tomorrow.
Thanks for all the links.

Here’s a favorite of mine by David Lanz… Procol Harum without all the fuss.
June 27, 2016 at 5:59 pm
im6,
That is about my favorite Procol Harum. This is a beautiful song as David Lanz plays it.

Hi Kat
Keep your posts and keep but kill your links after seven days.
If anyone wants to hear the music, you’ve given them title and performer, they can easily search for themselves…

J,
I usually delete the music links after a week on Box, but I have had trouble connecting to Box lately. It won’t load. I don’t know if TinyUpload deletes. My slide to play the song isn’t a problem. It was the link to upload.
