It wasn't a suggestion I was finding something out. Just to see if we could out music on it. I guess thats not wat Listal Feedback is for.

The Artist Pages should have a 'Taster' button though.

17 years, 1 month ago at Mar 26 23:28 - Yes, I have to agree with Prelude on that,
maybe if there were a way to put in a MP3 player at the bottom, where it has a list of like 5 songs and you can choose any of them or you can turn it off alltogether
But, Even then, that is WAY too much work for Tom, I think he should stick with improving the more... useful parts of the site

edit... man this post made no sense to even myself. lol
just ignore me, i'm tired

I heard that Prelude can delete threads. Can you delete this one Prelude it is done and has served its purpose

if anyone wants to go paris hilton s/he should go and expose her/his little life elsewhere. this is a freaking media collection site (or at least i hope it still is, tom, please?!), not a dating agency, emo haven or anime arena...
@prelude: don't bring up legal issues. do you want to know how much of all the ulpoaded videos and pictures (of course for all the items too) violate copyright? happy deleting in the future pal ;).

Phil
17 years, 1 month ago at Mar 27 18:59 - Bael - Actually, most of the item images are probably actually ok, on the basis of fair use (see Wikipedia's use of similar things), promotional shots, a few screenshots, covers and suchlike. The videos generally aren't as likely to be unless they're trailers or other specifically promotional material released by the studios/tv stations.
I'm certainly with you on the profile pages though. Last FM or "old" Facebook style (pre-applications!) clean, tidy pages. A few options for re-ordering sections, but basically the same feel to each page.

I don't really want to host music to avoid legal issues (the videos on this site are mainly hosted by youtube so that's not a problem) or excessive moderation work.

The user could pick these, even if they're just samples, and you could click on the album, or artist, so it could be more of a way to show what the person is listening to at the moment.

I've thought a lot about this and I like the facebook style of simple profiles but it's also pretty boring at the same time, I personally like customizing things. I have been thinking about adding a feature where you can browse peoples profiles using an uncustomized look, I would also like to add better box/module styles and maybe some default themes.

Listal profiles are pretty clean on the positive side. It's the bad apples that tap into its mess potential. A MySpace profile can even be horizontal if someone needs it to be. I used to have a MySpace friend whose ultimate goal in the construction of her profile was killing the viewer's ears and making sure their fingers were in shape through means of multi-directional scrolling. At one point I even altered my computer settings to leave out backgrounds and animations when possible. It didn't help that my labtop has no external volume control, making it impossible to change volume except by clicking the volume changer at the bottom right. This is rutty aggravating when animations are loading and a sound's blaring. All I can do is cover the speakers and hope the computer speeds up. A Clean User Browse mode would be ever so considerate.
