    I saw something the other day that made me think there was a way if you were paying the monthly subscription, but I can’t find it now!

    I've only done 2 slices, but I'd be happy to try this to see if it works. Otherwise, there are a few transcriptions of waltzes that I periodically go back to. I was thinking I was going to have to basically create a copy by redoing it as my own slice.

    I wonder if one were a guitar teacher that used soundslice to transcribe music for a student, would they be able to share that privately to their student (or bandmate, or djangobooks forum friend, etc) through a private link similar to how people might share a google drive link. That keeps it out of the public view, but allows simple peer-to-peer use of the private link? Seems it would keep the music producers in their lane while considering what is fair use.

    Yep, that already exists. People with a paid teacher plan can share slices privately with their students.

    So I made this analogy to my wife about this. I said it is like you have a favorite library where just about everywhere you look, there are cool books that you want to read. You don't have to buy them because they are always there. No matter what you read, there are others there that are interesting and inspiring to you. If you want to reread an old favorite that you don't quite remember, you can. Now, the library has announced that it will close in a few weeks. The good news is that you can copy any of the books you want for your personal use until it closes. The bad news is that once it closes, all those interesting books you didn't get to copy or read will be unavailable. You can try to recreate them or find elsewhere, but they aren't at your favorite place any longer.

    I've spent the last several days creating new slices that are copies of items that are on my practice list or things that I wanted to get to. I know I won't get all of what I could have, but I will have some things for the near future. Thanks to those of you who put up cool stuff there in the past. It was a great pooled resource of knowledge.

    I asked Adrian about this last week and he said bookmarks of publicly shared slices will still work, even if you can't search for new ones.

    So, if there's still time: fill yer boots!

    Hi!

    I have just discovered about the Soundslice Community closing! I'm totally struck! That resource has taken part of my practice database since I discovered it here at Djangobooks. I hope it would be a joke but I'm afraid it is not! I wish I would have had time to save some of the links (Gonzalo Bergara, Adrien Moignard, Django Reinhardt!!...and so on...but not only gypsy jazz stuff since I'm big fan of classical guitar and other kind of music). If someone of the forum has saved some links and want to share them with me, they will be welcome.

    Please, Adrian! Those amazing resources can't be lost. It is one of the best ways to learn guitar all over the internet! I wish you would restore it and give back all those transcriptions to us 😞. As I have told you in an email I have sent to Adrian, this has to be similar to that long time ago situation when the Library of Alexandria was burned, but in a gypsy jazz or musical version.

    Please, restore the Soundslice Community!

    Edit: On second look direct links may not be working. I'll see if I can find a way around it when work calms down.

    Yes, it seems like the slices that I have as part of my practice bookmarks in my Soundslice account seem to still be working. If I try to access other slices such as the links above, it doesn’t seem to be working.

    Thanks for sharing, guys! Yeah, as you mentioned neither of those links work :-(. Oh, man! Anyway, if the Community were so reduced there is no point about the harm we could make...
