Sync more playlists!
We pushed out a change last night that helps you subscribe to your favorite music playlist, tag playlists and search playlists using Rss or iTunes. So its even easier to keep a tab on new music being uploaded. Look for the RSS and iTunes icon on the left column on these pages.
Happy Syncing!
Anyone in the mood for radio ?
I’d sit alone and watch your light
My only friend through teenage nights
And everything I had to know
I heard it on my radio
Radio
I love radios .. its fun to let someone pick music for you and play it one great song after other …
Sometime in the next few weeks, we will be launching three radio streams on Muziboo. Online radio streams playing original english, hindi and instrumentals uploaded by muziboo members. Not just studio recorded music, anything with decent recording quality and feel will get onto these channels. Currently, we have about 130 songs on air (or wires, whatever you prefer). We have the basic streams up but are working on the website integration. Stuff like the ability to add any song to your favorite list, comment on the track playing currently etc etc. You will even be able to embed the radio on your blog if you are enthu enough.
However, if you want to get an early radio pass, if you are the kinds who just can’t wait, write to me at prateek@muziboo.com or leave a comment here and I will send you the radio pass …
In the meantime if you have some unfinished original compositions .. now would be a good time to do so and go on air. Remember, to get onto the radio, you just need to upload your music to Muziboo.com and post it to Original Compositions Group so that we notice it.
Sidebar gone! (well almost)
We have been talking to a lot of people lately and seeing our logs and analytics and what we found out was that the sidebar that you see after logging in was not being used that much .. and
a. it was taking up a lot of space
b. It was a little confusing …
c. The layout would change everytime you login and logout
So we have retired the sidebar and you will see it only when you go to my home tab (and yes .. the home is now known as the my home .. as its not just any home .. its your home)
To reach your scribbles etc quickly, we have a link to your scribbles on the top bar (neat logout etc) …
Do let us know what you guys think!
Muziboo Interface Redesign
When we launched Muziboo.com, we wanted to get the website up and running really quickly so that we can see the initial user reaction and understand our market better. In retrospect, I think it was a good move as that gave us good insights into what people look for, how our service can be different and it also helped us build a strong community. I was (am) inspired by the getting real book and Muziboo was a true getting real project. We got the website up in about a month since we hit upon the idea and in about two months, more than 100 people were using the service.
However in order to get the service up and running quickly, we could not spend too much time on the interface. We did make sure that the service is usable and the design is not so cluttered but the design did not have a long life. We have already reached a point where our users feel we need a new redesign. As I wrote in one of the earlier post, we have been thinking/working on the new design for almost last two months and its finally almost ready. We have had a great discussion at Muziboo.com about what features to add and we have added a few of those in the current release and will be adding more over the next month or so. The design should go live sometime next week and we are quite sure that it will be a visual treat apart from being much more usable than the current one.
As an early peep, I will put a few screenshots from the new design here and let everyone comment on it
