Thanks for the feedback.
So the main idea is that multiple tracks play at once and you can just hover over to judge which one you like. Is there any particular reason why you don't like all playing at once?
> - could you display them as a grid (just the covers) instead?
I could and that's what I started with. But the issue was that the covers are all squares and the grid has to be a rectangle (almost all screens are rectangular). I am not a design guy so I'm not really sure how I would do it. Any suggestions?
- politician 12y agoI don't like that they're playing simultaneously because it's jarring when I hover over another track that's playing in the middle somewhere (related: when I change tabs, it jumps to another track (in the middle) that I didn't select). I don't feel "in control" when I'm listening to something in the middle. It would be different if you provided a cross-fader, but it doesn't seem like you want to make an n-way DJ tool. > Any suggestions? http://isotope.metafizzy.co/ http://isotope.metafizzy.co/ EDIT: Also, playing multiple at once implies a lot of wasted network traffic.

- politician 12y agoWow, that is cool. Nice job on the grid (and the lock). EDIT: If one of the covers is locked, and I do a search, then the page refreshes and I lose my locked cover. I'd love to see the locked cover stay and the others be replaced. If you could put 40 covers on the screen, and allow me to pin/lock covers and make search replace the unpinned covers, then I think you'd have a pretty compelling discovery tool.
