Fixed this one
Producers are now ordered alphabetically.

That's exactly what I tried to achieve, I have lost lots of bandwidth because people were hotlinking to my tracks in other sites such as breakz. Visitors could then download tracks from my server without knowing it was coming from here. And I was running out of bandwidth...
Now every download is passing through my script, which has the advantage that every download (local or external) will increase the downloadcounter.
There's another trick I've been reading about to completely locking out hotlinks by redirecting them to e.g. the listen page.
What I actually prefer is that ppl would link to the listen page instead of the actual file. |
i did that, but from now on i'll be linking the listen page... sowwy...

Made some more changes to the listen page - added the rankings and number of reviews that each track got + appropriate sorting options
For all the reviewers: you can now sort on the number of reviews and see the tracks that urgently need a review right at the top!!!!
I'm now thinking of completely redesigning this page. There are too many tracks on one page, gonna split them up over multiple page. Also I guess it would look much better if each entry would get more space than just a single line, maybe do it more like this:
quote: |
producer name - track name (rating: 4/5 - 2 reviews - 84 downloads)
bitrate: 128kbps - length: 5:43 - filesize: 6.32MB - submitted on 5-1-2004 |
...and put a neat little avatar sized pic in front, representing the would-be album cover

I just saw that the rankings are sometimes 1 star less than in the forum, is probably a rounding error...
I'll get it fixed this evening, really have to split now...

Put page navigation in the listen page, it's now showing 50 tracks per page instead of 200+
There is a small bug in the code somewhere, causing 4 tracks not showing up
There are 209 tracks in the database, but only 205 are shown. Still have to figure this out...

Why did you remove all the details like in the previous page? Or is it still a work in progress?

Check again
Better or worse?
Still needs some work, have to juggle the items around a bit, add a couple of links like 'more info', 'other tracks by this producer', 'vote for this track' etc
And implement 'album covers'
that'll go together with a user interface for producers to edit and delete tracks + add some extra info about each track.
The sorting options are gone, I know, will put them back shortly
Getting ready for the producer datasheets

I'm now finishing off another site, I'm already way past my deadline but it will probably be finished next week. I'll start working on some new shit then:
- search function in listen page
- voting function in listen page
- detailed description of each track in listen page, with an album cover
- automatically fixing MP3 tags, since most producers don't seem to bother entering info in them
- votable 'track of the week' on front page
- news on front page
- producer pages (datasheets)
BTW I fixed the problem that caused some tracks not showing up in the listen page (some database entries were gone
prolly due to the MySQL trouble we had last summer when the forum crashed regularly)
I also put in new sorting options in the listen page, as well as the possibility to chose how many entries you want to see on each page. Hope it's useful!!

Sounds great
And since when are you a "professional" webdesigner?

I made my first 'commercial' site more than a year before I started this one
I'm not doing many websites for profit, only 1 or 2 a year since I don't have a lot of time for it, but it's nice to earn some extra cash in a comfortable way (sitting at home with some good music on and a bottle of wine nearby
)
