Unfortunately on our birthday we're running into issues with
@TeamYouTube @GCPcloud @googledevs's API.
Our key is currently limited resulting in YouTube search not working sitewide.
We're doing our best to get this fixed for you ASAP.
In the meanwhile, please use SoundCloud.
Sorry for the wait, everyone. We're still trying our best to get in touch with @TeamYouTube to get this resolved. If there are any more updates, we'll keep you posted.
Hi again. We're still busy working with @TeamYouTube to get their API issues resolved. It's out of our control.
In the meanwhile we also have to renew our security certificates, we're doing that on March 20, we will need a short maintenance mode to restart services.
Today we have to share some sad news with you and explain how this will impact everything moving forward.
Recently we were made aware that the previous owner of Dubtrack has taken control of our domain (dubtrack.fm) and has locked us out completely. For over a year we have been battling to gain access to all of Dubtrack's accounts to ensure we can continue to operate normally. Today, however, marks the last day we invest any more time and effort into this.
What is the future of Dubtrack?
We remain committed to reviving Dubtrack, but after this recent discovery, we are left with no choice but to rebrand the service. Since 2012, Dubtrack has served millions of unique people who share the same passion, and has seen hundreds of events hosted on the platform. The name also carries infamies and complications that we would like to disconnect from, so we hope you can understand.
What will happen to the domain?
In all honesty, we have no idea. The previous owner is free to do whatever they want with it. From this point onwards, we cannot control any content on that domain and we would consider it unsafe to input any data on there.
Is my data that Dubtrack stores safe?
Yes. We have always been very careful with who we allow to have access to your data. For the avoidance of doubt, there has not been a breach of your data and it is still only within the hands of the admin team.
Social channels
In a similar fashion to the domain, we lost access to our main Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/dubtrackfm/). Any future posts made on there are not from us. We do, however, have full access to our other Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/Dubtrack/) which before was used for our old YouTube channel. We plan to repurpose this and use it as our main Facebook page - make sure you go ahead and like it.
We are in full control of our official Twitter account (https://twitter.com/dubtrack_fm) so there's no change there - Make sure to follow us if you’re not already.
It is with those pages and this Discord server combined that make up our official social channels. We will post the most up-to-date information to all these channels, so ensure you’re following and be weary of information you see outside of them.
The last few years have been difficult for us, and this situation doesn't help either. The next chapter for us will not be easy either, but we are still very determined to come back bigger and better. We realise it's been over 5 months since we closed, and it pains us as much as it does you that we're still not back especially during the current pandemic, however we can assure you we are doing what we can to return.
This situation will set us back further due to the changes we have to make on our end, though it goes without saying that we really appreciate your patience and understanding throughout this.
Since our last announcement so much has gone on in the world, so we hope you are all staying safe and well during these exceptionally challenging times.
Progress on our end has unfortunately been slow over the last few weeks due to many reasons. One of them is rebranding our service. We’ve thought of a few names, but none of them have yet jumped out to us as the “one”.
Each and every one of you has helped us get as far as we have, so we think it’s only right that we include you in helping, and deciding, our new name. There’s a few guidelines that we kindly ask that you consider when suggesting a name.
Let’s keep any reference to our old name out of it. For example parts like “Dub” and “Track”
Our name shouldn’t be too literal. What this means is the name shouldn’t have words like “Tune” or “Music” in.
The name should be short, simple and easy to remember. There’s no maximum length, but we should aim for under 8 letters.
So, if you’d like to contribute, please only use the #names channel to make it easier to keep track of all your suggestions. If you see a name you like, you can react to it with the :Updub: emoji - this will help us condense the list down.
Once we have a decently sized list of names, Larry and I will pick out the ones we like the sound of, taking into account the votes each name receives. When we have done this, we will make a further announcement putting forward these names and allowing you to pick the one you like best.
We look forward to seeing what you come up with!.

In order to ensure things don't get too cluttered, please use #name-discussion to discuss any potential names. Once you have a name, please post in #names

I've updated the channel topics for both #names & #name-discussion. We will update these with any important information.

私たちにメッセージを送り、API割り当てを増やしました。 これで、お気に入りの曲をもう一度検索できるようになります。 信じられないほど長い待ち時間と不便をおかけして申し訳ありません。
Over the last few months we’ve been working on rebranding our service and developing a system that allows you to export your playlists. We’ve heard loud and clear from the community that our overriding priority should be to focus on the facility to export playlists as opposed to the new branding and relaunch.
It is with that in mind that we’re happy to announce the playlist exporter is up and ready to use. Please use the following link to access it:
The exporter is very simple to use. Either input your Dubtrack username or if you signed up by email you can use your email address to find your playlists. From there, the website will guide you on how you can export your playlists.
You may notice that the domain is “dubtrack.net”. This is a domain we have owned for a while, but never had an intended purpose. On this occasion we are only using it to host the exporter and it will not be used to host the main site when it we’re ready to relaunch.
We’d like to also like to thank you for your continued patience whilst we worked on the exporter. With regards to the main site, we’re still working as fast as we can to relaunch, though regrettably we do not have an ETA.
Back in June we announced that we wanted to include you, the community, in helping decide our new name. Since then there have been hundreds of name suggestions and we would like to take a moment to thank you all for contributing towards that.
Recently we went through each and every name that was suggested and compiled a list of viable names we could use. After much discussion, and also taking into account your votes, we have reduced the list of names to just 4.
These names are:
Lounge.studio
unison.fm
QueUp
Kloser
Your role in helping decide our name is not over just yet. As mentioned previously we want you to vote on what name you think we should use. You will see a new channel called #name-vote and in that channel there will be a poll. Using the reaction emojis, you are able to vote on one name. The channel for suggestion new names has now been locked; however, you may still use #name-discussion to talk about this.
If you change your mind and want to vote for another name, you will need to click on the emoji used for your initial vote and then re-vote. If you run into any issues or need help, you can click the ? emoji and the bot will send you a private message.
This poll will run for exactly 1 week. After that point we will make a further announcement.
