Sometimes, when I cruise YouTube, I'll come across a song that's so pretty or so relevant that I want to share it with my internet friends. On that other site, the one that's behind in its payments and is losing members to MyLot, we are allowed to post links to music on YouTube and other such sites. Are we allowed to do the same here? I like sharing music.

I have seen others posting music links. I know that we cannot post commercial links and that we should post links related to the discussion we start. I believe that if you are talking about a specific piece of music or an artist, there is nothing wrong in posting a link to a YouTube video.

Thanks for the info. It sounds like it's OK to post a YouTube link to a song I am really touched by, so long as my text discusses that song.

This is an interesting question and I am not certain how the rules relate to this. I suppose that it may depend on whether the post is purely about the video link or the video link is an embellishment of the discussion. It would probably be safer asking Admin prior to doing that just to be certain.

I'm getting the impression that it's safe, but maybe I'll hold off for now.

@TheHorse As my reply portrays, I too feel that it would be most likely a safe thing to do, but checking first is always the best policy.

@Asylum I did check, and I didn't see anything specific abut music videos. But I think it's OK, so long as there's no financial gain for the poster from the video.

I see this has been resolved. Seeing your guitar, makes me smile. My brother use to play and we would sing together and even performed in front of our elementary school.

Always smiling

As long as the links are not referral links and spam links one can post links here.

Thanks for the very straightforward response. I love music and will probably post the occasional "favorite gospel tune" or "favorite good lyrics tune" type link here.

I was also thinking of the same way. Instead I like to post my site here, I am selling vintage stuffs on ebay.
