Neat! This is one my oft-mentioned longtime broken use cases when talking to friends about where technology is failing me. With all the "genius" services that recommend new music to me I still find it infuriating that there's software that knows how often I listen to the last Neko Case record, but won't dependably tell me when a new one comes out!
Also, don't be discouraged by comments w/ links to other services. That's not an indication this is a solved problem, it's validation that it's a problem worth solving... I think that's much more valuable than taking the only bite at an apple that may or may not be worth eating.
- lifebeyondfife 14y agoI always take critism constructively, regardless of how it's presented. Comments like this help from getting me down though, thanks.
- girasquid 14y agoI second this - I built one of the competing services (shameless plug: http://beathound.com http://beathound.com), and it seems like every day I find a new one (or a new one gets announced - like yours!). I gave this a shot, and it's pretty cool - but it seems like some of the javascript is a bit superfluous, and I was confused by the interface. On this page: http://d.pr/i/e0hN http://d.pr/i/e0hN - why are there no thumbnails? I was expecting that box to have a picture inside it (and I was expecting clicking it to take me somewhere). On the New Music! page, I expected clicking on the album boxes (not just the thumbnails) to load up the albums for me to take a look at. It took me a second to figure out I needed to click on the thumbnails - and having to wait for something to load (Ajax, I'm guessing?) was a bit strange. I was expecting that click to be near instantaneous. I'm sure the slow bits are just because you're getting hammered today - cool service, and good luck!
