I think you're on the home page. For an example, you can see my personal tag playlist named 'mellow': http://www.thesixtyone.com/tags/song/show/sam/mellow/ Or go to your profile and click on the tags that appear to your right.

If the site isn't taken down during an update, some parts of it will always be broken during a schema migration since our ORM expects each table corresponding to a data model to be in sync after a code update. I guess you could always versi

Actually we're on postgres... It just makes me nervous when the migration is taking upwards of 10 minutes to complete since some of our tables have millions of rows and lots of concurrent read/writes are happening.

That's reassuring, I thought I was the only crazy fool who was storing json objects in database columns =). We do something similar for some of our data models at thesixtyone.com. It's really nice for not having to bring down the site for

If you have an account, you can access your recently played history by going to your profile and then hitting the music tab. We're also working on an easier way to access your play history from the mini-player at the bottom left.

There are still ways to add a little extra security for non-ssl logins. One way is by hashing the password via javascript with a random number provided by the server before posting it via HTTP. (see http://pajhome.org.uk/crypt/md5/auth.htm

Let me get this straight. So you would choose the framework with slightly better plugin support and larger community even if it meant it was three times slower and consumed twice as much memory? If you have deep pockets and have no adversio

Well, ProjectWedding.com was designed by women and it is steadily growing (it currently receives 10,000 page views a day from northern california bride-to-bes). It's assumptions like yours about theknot.com's monopoly which make this "proj
