Downloaded files do not take title given on iBandstand.
19-Nov-2023 | 7:22 AM
Example: I downloaded Yoslounge's "Pre-Launch (Open for Collab)" but the downloaded version is called tab107:140inG which I presume is the title of the track when Yoslounge uploaded it.
Can this be changed? As it is confusing (to the say the least) when collaborating
I anticipate that people will upload songs they intend to be grouped together as an album. Therefore, they will name the files like this: "01 Junkyard Stomp", "02 Summer Daze", "03 Nineteen Cars", etc. That's a really common convention. If I make the change you want, these other people will complain that I didn't preserve their filenames, and the songs in their album/playlist didn't get put in the right order.
I presume that the people that upload an album and/or a playlist will name their files the same as they upload it.
And possibly not even offer it as a download since albums usually are paid for.
My suggestion is for the collaborators on iBandstand.
I was under the impression that iBandstand's main focus was on collaborations.
With the above mentioned in mind and knowing that you have worries about the complaints of other artists then maybe it's an idea to implement a "warning" at upload. Explaining that if they choose their files to be downloaded, and want to avoid confusion in the long run, to keep their upload title the same as the file title.

Can someone please help me. I downloaded an awesome song. However the title just says suspended with drums and bass louder I absolutely love it. Search brings nothing up of any use. Some of the lyrics... you look at me like I'm not there, there's no sunlight in your hair... I'm suspended in the air..... Cant recall who the artist is either.... Doesn't say on download... Thanks for your help.
Thinking about this, I think we can accommodate both scenarios: either wanting to keep the original filename or wanting to override it. I'll keep this in mind.
