Not allowing shitty (or pirated!) music is a hard problem to solve.
As others have said, shitty is entirely subjective.
But pirated is a really easy problem to solve. Just run it through an identifier like Echoprint.

- gabemart 13y ago> As others have said, shitty is entirely subjective. I strongly disagree that shitty is entirely subjective. Contextually, "shitty" could mean music recorded on a cell phone, or tracks that were 2 seconds long, or tracks that have been transcoded 7 times and sound like they're being played from a walkie-talkie at the bottom of a well. I can understand why a music platform might want to enforce some standards of professionalism or technical competency, even if they didn't want to do so for matters of taste.

DJs take 90s house records and just change the speed do a small edit and then release it as their own production. and BeatPort releases it. I have many friends who are furious because their music has been blatantly stolen.
