Too cool, M@X! Non invasive and it lets you explore the artist faster. Excellent!
(now how do we get one of those for interviews that have audio content attached to them? ) |

Audio Interviews needs to be added as regular mp3. Like AYREON & others... ?? |

Wow! The speakers are great! Excellent idea M@X!!
EDIT: I know this is not the reporting thread, but as we are on topic, King Crimson's review/s appear with the speaker but really don't have mp3's, as far as I'm concerned. Edited by cacho - February 12 2009 at 16:27 |

I'm afraid you'll have to contact Mr. Fripp on that one, Pablo. |

^No man, I know the copyright thingy, but bands that don't have mp3's the speaker doesn't show, that's what I'm reffering.

I mean - is there a chance to have one of those speakers for each artist we interview? Bring up the audio content so that you can chill and listen to the artist while reading the interview, or for the few that have an audio interview, listen and read along - or something like that. |

Max, not to be too demanding today, but since you asked I think the speakers are best left inside the artist page for one reason. I notice that the tracks available will often not be tracks from the album being reviewed, thus, a noob who doesn't know the artist may click on the song and think they are hearing something from that album. As we all know album quality varies wildly between albums. (I realize the album cover is shown in the pop-up but not everyone will notice) I think if the track was married to the album being reviewed it would be OK, but as it is now you could have a 5 star track present for one of the worst titles from the artist, giving a Noob the impression he was hearing that, assuming he's not bright enough to figure it out. But I realize how much work that would likely be, so feel free to ignore You said you like feedback, right??? |

Finn,
I also want to promote the player since it's under-use according to my web logs. It's a nice feature and I also bare that in mind while adding it. I think we should give a try for some days.... |

I agree with M@x about the player, it's a great asset to any site, actually I've been trying to implement it on my future site/blog but as I'm a coding illiterate I crashed trying to read various tutorials

I like the new speaker feature, but agree with Finnforest that it should link to samples from the album thatīs reviewed and not to songs from other albums by the artist.

Since we're on the topic of the front page I'll make this question here. Is it possible to bring back the Prog News, Press Releases area to the Forum New Topics window? If there are to be only three forums displayed like there is now, I think the news section should be more importat than the interviews.
edit: Oh, now I scrolled it all the way to the bottom, and there it is. Well, I think it was better up there with Lounge, Polls and Interviews. Now it seems kind of hidden under everything else. Hard to find if you don't miss it and search for it. Edited by Keppa4v - February 14 2009 at 05:12 |

Ok , i've changed the POPULAR ARTIST mechanism and it's now pretty LIVE, I mean it is based on the previous day data. So basically , it's showing the TOP 40 artists with most page viewed the day before today.
Please comments. |
