New Player Launched

After a lot of work, we finally got the new player up and running. Please post any problems you have here. Expect to see a version of this that you can embed on myspace and such soon. Also, the artist image will be added back shortly. We will also be resuming video uploads in the next few days.

Heres whats new with the player:

1) New Look (more familiar to most people) - better looking play list
2) Multiple Playlists
- Easily create your own play lists to better sort your music.


Expect to be able to see and listen to other peoples play lists soon.

More details to come.

Stage.FM - New Name, Same Great Taste

So, for anyone who doesn't know, Stage.FM is the new name/domain for the service formerly called Audiri. Hopefully the new name should be easier to remember/type. The name, however is not all we changed. Here's a quick list.

• The Look - New and blue, the green needs some work, so be patient, we are still working out the kinks. Expect to see the look continuing to change
• Member Profiles - Now everyone has a page, members can see what other members favorite bands are, and what other members are listening to. It's a great way to discover music, find someone who has similar tastes in music, and then listen to what they listen to.
• Genres/Types of Music - No more hierarky, we now have what is called a tag cloud. Under music, click on a genre. That will take you to a page with songs that rank high in that genre. At the top it will also list related genres.
• Search - We implemented a new search, so expect better results. The new engine has a better ability to match words based on proximinty, so expect a search for "green day" to return things with "green day" first, and things with "green is my favorite color, the other day I went fishing" to come up later.
• Pictures - Every member can upload a picutre
• Status - See when other people are online and what they are listening to
• Player Fixed in Safari and Opera
• Stats - See how often songs get played over time

So we also have a lot of new features coming up once the migration stuff settles down. Here's the rundown:

• Multiple Playlists - (didn't make it into the first relase, but it's close)
• Better stats
  

Also note that the video upload is removed for a few weeks, it should be up pretty soon (seriously)
