It's been a busy week at SoundUnwound HQ, because we've made a few little changes to the website that we hope you’ll like.
In The News
Every day our moderators write news stories for the front page, but after a few days they just vanish and are never seen again! Until now: we’ve created a new section on artist pages, right at the bottom, called In The News. For example, we posted about AC/DC finally winning a Grammy: you can see that story, along with their previous entries, on the AC/DC page now.
User Profiles
We’ve created new profile pages for users, which collect summarized information about your library, your quiz scores and your edits on to one page (your library summary is not viewable by other users, but we may change that in the future). We’re not planning on turning into Facebook any time soon, but we do have ideas to develop these pages further.
New Release Notifications
The ‘my library’ feature is for more than just organizing the music you already know about; it’s for discovering new music you don’t know about too! That’s why we give you recommendations based on your library, and show you new releases by artists already in your library. Now, when an artist you’re already a fan of releases new music, we’d like to send you an e-mail to let you know! If you don’t already have a library set up, now’s a good time to start!
By the way, we won’t send more than one e-mail a week, and you can opt-out of receiving them at all through the ‘my settings’ link next to the ‘my library’ one.
We’ve got more exciting developments to tell you about too, but we’ll leave them for another time! As always, if you have any thoughts or feedback on these new features, please let us know!
