spring cleaning, see who follows who

- posted by Sudara on 22 Mar 23:02 - 10 comments -

Hi there!

After a quiet january and february, alonetone is getting some development love.

I just came back from Vienna where Samo and I hashed out the UI design for the upcoming secret project.

Here's what I just pushed out on alonetone:

  • You can now see who everyone follows
  • You can now easily add favorites to playlists
  • The beginnings of a press page
  • A few IE7 bugs fixed
  • Playlist editing and track adding was...cleaned up a bit
  • A handful of minor changes here and there
  • Upgrading to the latest version of Rails and jQuery

Let me know if anyone sees any issues.

We're humming along at a good clip, track uploads are looking scarily...'exponential' on the stats page.

Welcome to all you n00bs - be sure to speak up on the forums if you have questions and suggestions.

Yeah, and if you wanna get creative with the alonetone logo for some strange reason, check out the press page with 8 different versions of the logo in 3 different formats.

Yeah....that's it for now. Time to enjoy all the good music that's landed here recently.

Holy crap, Batman! Exponential is a euphemism. Yowza!

I must admit I'm amazed at the amount of new stuff constantly being uploaded. So much talent out there with sooooo much time on its hands!

Thanks for creating Alonetone, it's very nice. However, I've noticed that I often find myself looking for a few features that don't yet exist:

  • Being able to classify songs by genre or add a tag.
  • Star-ratings. Binary favorites are not expressive enough.
  • Ranking songs/artists by play count, number of times favorited by others, number of comments received.
  • Ranking artists by number of songs uploaded, freshness, activity.
  • Playing your own songs when you're logged in shouldn't add to play count.
  • Downloading a song seems to add to the play count. I think this should be a separate metric.
  • Songs should only be counted as having been played when they reach the end (like in iTunes), or maybe once you reach halfway. Currently I think that the play count increases once playback starts.

Keep up the great work!

One more thing, very important! Why is there no way to reply when people comment your songs? It would be nice to be able to hold conversations and have some constructive critique around songs.

Oh! Oh! Oh! One more feature request: being able to fast-forward, ideally with a time-slider. Having several playback speeds would also be nice.

Sorry to be such a bother :-)
