Fri Feb 13, 2004 5:52 am Post subject: Member Wish List |
 
|
I haven't fully checked if this has been already suggested, so apologies if it has.
The idea is to have somewhere a "member wishlist", where a member can list songs he/she wants to play, so he/she cant fastly track if they have been already played or simply remember them for future requests.
This feature only has to do with the website, not with the DJ software, so it has less backdraws. To my point of view, the things needed would be:
1. A database table with two columns (user/song). If db space is a problem, number of songs per user could be limited.
2. Modify the "Show album" code to add an extra link (add this song to my wishlist)
3. A module that:
3a. Shows the user's wish songs, maybe with an interface close to the queue view (small album/title/author, etc).
3b. Allows directly queuing from the frontend (as the request button on the album info)
3c. Allows the user to remove the song from the wishlist
3d. May allow to see other user's wishlist (optional, depends on work)
I have split the point three so functionalities could be implemented gradually (ie: a first version doing until point 3b and a latter version doing 3c) |

I can see why and why not to have this
_Why_
Sure, love to keep my "favorites" listed *koff* not just SW *koff*
_Why_Not_
Keeps me from exploring the other options out there
Variety is the spice of life, as they say
~~~~~
If I _really_ want to keep track of my favorite tracks I can:
1) Add them as bookmarks/favorites on my web browser
2) Copy & paste the links for those tracks into a Word, Notepad, etc. document
3) Write the URLs down in my PDA
4) Put links to my favorite tracks on my personal web site |

Im thinking along the same lines at Altoid here.
One of the deadliest things that can happen on this site, is for everyone to get tunnelvisioned. People that come in and play the same things over and over, will cause this station to be no better than any other, "non-request" station with a smaller playlist. All we end up hearing is the Raiders marches and Lord of the Rings 24 hours a day. Too much of a good thing is bad. Thats exactly like going to another station that has a playlist of about 50 songs and then just cycles through them day in and day out.
What's the point of having a playlist as large as SST's but only play 5% of it? Like Altoid, I see there are already ways to get shortcuts to your favorites using the bookmarks in your browser. But please, think about going outside your comfort zone and listen to new tracks and new works. You might like tham!! |

AMEN! Variety is the spice of life (yay, Altoid). Like Korkster said, I certainly have broadened my soundtrack horizons (does that sound corny??). Anyway, I think it's pretty good the way it is. Wishlists may pose to be a problem as mentioned.

I am with Kork on somehow getting the entire database heard. There is so much good music here and everyone seems to stay within their world. I especially would like to see more of the older scores played. I select them but with the long request times, it doesn't seem to make a dent.
Perhaps, frequent donators could allowed to request more frequently, if they would choose those unusual scores that do not get play.
Maybe I am representing myself just a little there but I'm serious. The wealth here is not
being enjoyed.

Giving people more requests for their donations, borders on being illegal.
We do have an "old score" day on the schedule, though.  |
