Topic: I miss the playlists on the main page...

Hi!

Granted, I can checkout the last five tracks played, if I go to http://intergalacticfm.com/music/, but at #1 I want to see the playlists immediately, if I go on the webpage (just to check quickly want kind of stuff is played, at the moment) and at #2 the five track of the playlists under "music" are to few for me.
The ifm-playlists always had been a bit short, compared with longer cbs ones, but that is too much!!

Apart from that, the new design is cool and I like that voting thing. Furthermore, there seem to be a database ("hole") again - cool! (maybe I just missed it, cause I lost my password and wasn't logged in for months...)

Couldn't find an existing topic about the ifm update, so...

Regards!

I like the new features e.g. voting and the Hot 25. The main page looks lovely.

@ Bender... where's the database/hole? I really missed descending down there.

Re: I miss the playlists on the main page...

@MenschMaschine & ytz: At the moment, I am hearing ifm @work directly via the "browser-player" on ifm (no winamp or downloaded streams at work... wink ).
Few minutes ago, a song which I know, but couldn't remember the name, was played. (it was Waterfront Home - Take a chance on me btw. wink ). But I wouldn't stop my work to check what song it was... Few minutes later, when the song was already over, I had time to check it out. But without the playlist, I had to click on ifm/music firstly. Unfortunately, exactly with this click, the ifm webplayer stopped it's work, cause I clicked around on the website. -> Again: No winamp at work!! I have to use the webplayer. The only opportunity is to open ifm twice. On time for the player and a 2nd time for clicking around and looking at playlist. (I wouln'd have that problem if the playlists were always apparent) That sucks, sorry! IMO every online radio station needs instant viewable playlists!! What about potential new listeners? If somebody visits ifm for the first time, he can't see what kind of music is played there and probably will leave the page again very soon.

No playlists = no go! Design fault, like a car without tires...

For me it's like the hole, isn't it? (the letters, search-function for every track ever played on ifm...)
(btw. Eleven Pond - Watching Trees was never played, up to now -> another: FAIL!)

bender

there is a scrolling playlist displaying what's on... if you don't get it in time it's a hassle but it's not the end of the world. i hear you, but i think if the ifm top 100 is gonna be as good as it should be then voting really needs ramming down people's throats.

paudical

the music section is basically the hole, probably more accessible.

one thing that would be nice is last played info on each track. but i think they're working on that

Re: I miss the playlists on the main page...

so hard to rate tracks when they're all so good!

The HotMix-logo now looks broken because the white background is transparent... so now it's red when it's displayed on the red IFM1 bar wink
