Warmer climes hype machine update#

The grouping of the tracks detracts A LOT from the ability to gage what my readers are into. I agree with the sentiment of Lise above.

I agree with the person who said it would be nice to keep the old alphabetical listing of blogs in addition to the new format. Honestly, this is not a good upgrade- it is a downgrade. Trying to remember them all will not happen. My entire listening history is gone and I’ve been on here since the beginning so I had a lot of songs I loved to go back and listen to on a daily basis. My Listening History and Obsessions are also missing. Additionally, with the new update, the Firefox “Save File” plug-in no longer works with the player. Much preferred the older, smaller player. However, I am not a fan of the new player – at ALL. If you come here as a listener rather than a blogger it can only be a good thing surely?Ī fan of the slightly sleeker look. Haven’t experienced any of the bugs other people are reporting either but perhaps I’m just lucky… Anyway just wanted to say I like it, looks clean and crisp and I love the grouped duplications. I’m usually the first to whinge when my favourite websites have a redesign (most of us hate change) but I like what you’ve done here. Can’t wait to see how the new features help me find more music that I I would like the play time and volume control visible without mouseover, please.Īlso, songs are repeating in Chrome, I’m going crazy! Guess I’ll be “bug testing” all day tomorrow.

Thanks for the hard work, gang! Not mentioned above, I may be most excited that the site now works on the iPhone & iPad.

I like the update ! The website is a lot cleaner, great job! Only thing I wish you all would add is the ability to make playlists of songs. I look forward to all future enhancements to this already stellar website. To all the people at Hype Machine, job well done! I really enjoy the new and improved website and have already been tinkering with the new settings. Play around, explore the site, and please do let us know if anything is not working correctly. We’re excited to share these new features with you. Now you can find new music anywhere you bring your iPad. We’ve also added some special house tags, which you can learn about here.įriend finder: Check to see which of your Twitter contacts also use The Hype Machine, and quickly start following them. There are a lot of blogs here, so to make this process less daunting, we’ve organized by last.fm tags from their most recent posts. We use last.fm’s user-generated tags for this, and we think they’ll encourage you to click through into something you weren’t looking for.īlog directory: Finding a great blog is like making a new friend with an awesome record collection. But for those not brave enough to plunge into uncharted music (yet), we’ve added some categories to help you on your way. Most blogged artists: Quickly sample a track from each of the most-blogged artists of the week.īrowse by genre: Serendipitous music discovery is a wonderful thing, and our Latest page has always been great for that.

Search shuffle: Hit the shuffle button next to the search bar to be taken to a random search, or, on a track page, hit the shuffle button to be taken to a random track. It’s an easy way to see the chronology of a track’s spread on the internet, and see how frequently it’s being discussed. Now the duplicates are collected in a list, accessible via the “Posted by x blogs” link under each track name. Grouped duplicates: We know, you don’t want to hear the same track five times on one page. Welcome to the updated Hype Machine! We’ve been listening to your feedback, and have made improvements to help you discover new music to fall in love with, and new blogs you can trust.
