Freesound Forums

The freesound URL to a specific "Remix group info" can change within hours ,

e.g. "Remix Group Freesound Dare Collab Icebreaker - Percussion.wav"

yesterday had the URL ... http://www.freesound.org/browse/remixed/1013535/ but today that URL is not recognised by freesound.

Today that "Remix group info" page has a different URL ... http://www.freesound.org/browse/remixed/1014750/
which is currently working.

This changing-URL bug has been occurring for months (maybe years).

The problem is if you send someone a link to a "Remix group info" page, by the time they click on it it won't work :¬(

[ This may be an intermittent fault ].

The latest addition there is yours from today; maybe the update triggers the creation of a new remix page at a new address instead of replacing the old one?

Hi copyc4t,

I've confused matters by adding to that "Remix group info".

The URL had changed before I added a remix to the group.

None of the links you posted work for me, Timbre. I wonder.

Now neither work for me either.

I have reported this bug to the admins.

Hey guys,

This is not a bug. Don't assume that remix pages stay the same.
Remix groups are recomputed every day at least, probably even more often.
As such sometimes different sounds need to point to different groups.

Say you have a four sounds: A1, its remix A2, B1 and its remix B2.

If you check the remix group for A1 and A2 it should give you the same result.
If you check the remix group for B1 and B2 it should give you the same result.

Now someone combines A2 and B2 into a new sound C.

What should the remix group for A1 and B1 now point to?
