..what do you mean..? I have to say yay or nay to a discog that's not finished? seems kind of pointless.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i dont like it. I said nay. Its too overly informative. Lose the 'artists' column and i'll vote yay. Plus i didnt see Pole on there. Hot diggity. Nice to see the site really IS in development though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i voted yay, and who's the jerk that voted nay :0 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ME! haha, theres 2. Read above. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, Schematic is still sorely missed - not one of the smallest labels either. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
also I would like it more if you can put something in your recordbag from the general list - now I have to click the name, then click recordbag, then click Back etc. it get's tiresome if you own more than 10 records. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I like it...its very informative |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
its going in the right direction... but i agree with qrter on the record bag... its too much work. If you just had a page, with a list of all the releases... and you checked which ones you had, and hit submit... that would be much better imo |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I voted yay, but as others have brought up, there are some key groups missing. Like Mick Harris projects (Scorn, Quoit, etc., but hopefully it'll be there when finished). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
im not saying its bad, im just saying it seems to be too much. If a newbie comes looking, they're gonna look at 'artists' for aphex twin, not aliases. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"Its too overly informative" It's a discography, it's supposed to have lots of info. You basic and sometimes incorrect info go to discogs.com. I said Yay. It has it's needs of improvement, but for being very incomplete it's pretty damn good. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you can have too much information. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
im assuming the 'edit' button will be removed too |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I didn't notice Schematic was missing until you pointed it out.... it definitely deserves to be in there. Otto Von Schirach and Devine, c'mon! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no Ninja Tune. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
i wanted to vote nay to be a cunt, but i just couldnt, i did vote yah, and checked to make sure i got my 5 points. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
question... will info about the artists be added? Like a bio, and history etc? Reviews of the albums, like on allmusic.com? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
of course it is is over informative, you are looking at a preview of the advanced method of browsing the discography. all the criticism i have read so far in all the threads about the discog have been complaining about things that will not be an issue when it is finished. so relax! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
chap: do you know anything about my question? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
why not just link allmusic.com |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, I would hope that a resource for electronic music, would have more then just a discog. I want more info! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
several links to reviews! dedicated threads for each album! ;) STORIES BEHIND EACH TRACK AS TOLD BY ARTIST TO WEBMASTERS |

To those who've posted to complain about various omissions I'd like to point out the fact that we already stated that the discog was only about 5% complete. What you're looking through is a preview not the full thing. The navigation/code/etc is also still a work in progress to a certain extent too. All good ideas will be looked at equally. I agree with qrter that the "add to record bag" button should be next to each entry in the search results rather than just in the detail page. I've got loads of records and adding them one by one like that is plain annoying. I also think that the "type" entry should appear in the search results list too, so it is immediately obvious if you're looking at a regular or promo item for any given release: essential in those situations where the other visible fields all appear idential. (If that don't make no sense I guess I could try to explain better) |

|
|
so is the answer to my question: NO? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The answer to your question is yes (for bios). Though not all will be added at once, and some may not be added at all, depending on availability of information. If we can get a bio (and it's nice) we'll use it. As for reviews... I can't say (cos I don't know). Phob would know more about that. |

Yay.ay.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
call me stupid but i cant workout how to put things in your record bag thing....would anyone care to enlighten me? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

i have a mixed advice, so i didn't vote - on the one hand, that's a pretty colossal work done, it's quite impressive and seems very good! but... on the other hand, i don't think the interface very very practical, the windows for selection of artists/aliases are too small imo... (and i'd have put just one window for artists and aliases, but that's just my opinion - for example, when i search for let's say squarepusher, i think of "squarepusher" as the name of the artist, not "tom jenkinson"...) - plus it's a bit bleak, the aphextwin.nu old discography was much appealing! but again this is just my opinion... =) |

NEVER read a whole thread. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes thank you qrter!! but i cant find any recorbag clicky to click on....ok? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you see a list of releases. you click on the name of the release you have and there, as if by magic, you can add it to your recordbag! the button should be down-right. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
qrter, the only reason i mention the recorbag is coz i read this thread...i see the "view your recorbag" icon, but i cant seem to find the "put in recorbag" icon! i cant reply either...could there be a link? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"rate this track" and " average user rating" is all i see.........mr patronize :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well i suppose it can only be good for me to be taken for an idiot once in a while! off to bed now so nevermind :D |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
do you have a premium account, in other words forked over money to phobiaz.? my bet is, you haven't. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hehe! good bet :D thanx |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you could have cut the pisstake and pointed that out earlier though man. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I thought you knew that. so I wasn't attempting to take the piss. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh! shit i guess im even paranoid on the net :D oh well! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
whoa! i didnt expected this kind of response... as i read all the messages i have to agree its a pretty pointless poll, since loads of your complainments are solved in the final discography. its also no point for me to comment this lot since everything's will be changed. maybe releasing the preview WAS a bad thing to do. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
for me it was a good thing to do... its just that people seemed not to understand that it was all kind of circumnstancial. people use to feel they are more interesting when they find "errors" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no it wasnt imo, it gives pll a glimpse at what xlt will be like.... keeps em happy :) some ppl do not realize its not 100% finished... |
