Right, I know that this topic has been discussed before, but I really want to make a proper effort to get the attention of Envato and get them to sort this out.
I am loving AJ at the moment, makes me good money, and I love the community that they have created.
HOWEVER
My biggest frustration is the watermark!!! I am non exclusive, so upload my tracks to other sites as well, and not one of them ask the authors to manually apply the water track and create the preview file / zipped file, e.t.c. They all have automatic ways to do it.
So I am proposing that Audio Jungle Implement Automatic watermarking on tracks and automatic zipped files
i.e. all we have to do is upload one MP3 file, and some clever computer code handles the rest. I KNOW that this can be done as many other sites have software and code that do it automatically. I also have been passed some code that will do the watermark automatically, but I do not understand enough to use it yet, sorry its so long, if someone out there can tell me how this works that would be great!!!
I know that this can be done, and would make so much more sense for everyone involved!

Automatic watermarking is something we have considered in the past and are currently looking into, but we cannot guarantee if/when this will roll out due to the time it takes to develop and implement into the site. We know it can be done, but itâs never that easy unfortunately. 
For example, if we were to implement such a feature, weâd have to find a way to automatically add the watermark to short, 1 - 3 second sound effects without completely destroying/covering the original sound effect. We would also have to consider the volume of the watermark so that it could be heard on louder pieces, but not be too overbearing on quieter pieces.
