@Lundin I agree that recommendation-like questions are not suitable for a Q&A format; in fact, though they are currently accepted in Music Fans SE under the [similar-artists] tag, they cause plenty of grief alongside ID questions. I'm wondering, though, if by creating a separate category for such que... (more) |

@Lundin Hmm, I think I follow you... So, would it be alright to combine gear recommendations ("what geat/instrument/etc. should I buy based on my needs") with music recommendations ("what new artists/genres should I listen to based on my interests") into a single "Recommendations" category? Just "Ins... (more) |

@Lundin How about one category called "Recommendations" for all recommendations together, that is, gear recommendations as well as artist/music recommendations? (I was planning to make a separate Meta post for this, so that voting on it can be separate.) I'm not sure how one for music fans would work... (more) |

If the "Music" part is redundant, then maybe just "Identification" could also be fine for the category name? (more) |

| Question | — |
Can we have embedding of YouTube and SoundCloud links? Is it possible to have YouTube and SoundCloud links embed directly into the body of a post? It is likely that many posts will make use of such links, and it will make for a nice user experience. While there is certainly no rush for such a feature since the community has only just been launched, I ... (more) |

It's great that this sort of thing is exactly what categories are meant to help with. I'll check out the other communities to get a feel for how they are handling things, and also think about what you say regarding voting and reputation points. Thanks! (more) |

| Question | — |
Can we have a separate category for identification requests? (Not sure whether it's too early to request this, but here goes anyway!) One of the suggestions in the Music proposal on Meta was to have separate categories for certain topics. I would like to reiterate one of those suggestions, namely a category for identification requests. In a past life, I ... (more) |
