    Album Highlights - Forced Gallery View

    CMart · 2 · Last reply by CMart

    My dearest friends, we have lost an absolutely critical feature. In any album overview section, we are now forced to use the gallery-grid view. This is frustrating switch because we can no longer see the year of the album or the allmusic rating. We now have to manually click each one? I've been using AMG since the early 2000's and changes like this make it seem less like a true database. We used to have the option to use Gallery View or List View. Please bring that back.

    AllMusic is great, but...

    Michaël · 0 · Posted

    Hi,

    I love AllMusic, use it a lot and therefore have a paid subscription, but there's still one thing I really miss about it. I've made the suggestion before and I'm gonna do it again.

    Please refer to the attached screenshot, which will speak for itself (it's the old website layout, but that shouldn't bother).

    Kind regards, Michaël.

    Add the date an album review was written

    Philip B · 1 · Last reply by Zac

    Hi, I'm a big fan of AllMusic and have used the site for years. One thing I've always wanted to know is the date an album review was written, to put it into context as either a contemporary or retrospective review, as critical consensus can change over the years. Is this technically possible at all? Thanks.

    Improvement for ease of use of discography

    Paul Jolly · 1 · Last reply by Zac

    It would be very helpful for me if there were a link on each album page that allowed me to go directly to the previous or next album in the artist's discography. Often I will look up artists and read all the entries in their discography. When doing this I consider it an unnecessary hassle to have to keep clicking back to the artist's main page to choose the next album to read. I think a very simple fix could solve this issue and make your site much more user friendly for music nerds who want to read an entire

    An export feature would be nice

    Sheldon Zimmerman · 1 · Last reply by Zac

    An export feature would be nice in case your site ever goes down and I lose all my data like I did the last time your site went through a reorganization.

    expand user base

    rootsmusic · 1 · Last reply by rootsmusic

    In order to survive, Allmusic needs to expand its user base.  Doing so will add more subscribers, at the risk of pandering to commercialism, minimizing indie artists and feeding into the marketing cycle.  If social media pop can become viral, then Allmusic should jump on the TikTok bandwagon.

    "Ride the Cliché" or... Just a Mystery?

    Marcio Hendrik · 0 · Posted

    Hello AllMusicians,

    Yesterday I went to the vinyl store to check the naivety of the phonorecord industry - or worse - of the consumer. 

    Have you guys noticed that "Tate McRae" album just coincides with... Deftones latest ? 

    Or is it the same woman ???

    Please help me out to uncover this mystery!

    Filter for reissues on Advanced Search.

    Advanced Search lacks a filter for reissues, which I want to exclude from results.

    Can this be added?

    Show "Collection" in order saved

    J · 0 · Posted

    When I save an album to my "Collection," i.e., albums I want to buy in the future, it would be nice if they were listed in the order I saved them, instead of alphabetical. I have so many albums saved that I forget who exactly the artist is and why I saved them. Then I have to go back through the reviews all over again. Or not. Thanks.

    Please add record label as a field in Advanced Search.  For most record labels, browsing returns too many results without filtering capability.

    New layout is horrible and renders your website useless.

    David Schrimpf · 3 · Last reply by Peter Hall

    If you're going to plaster ads all over the page, can you make sure they work and not destroy the lay out of your website? It's impossible to read anything now because the ads are screwing up the coding.

    helpfulness of reviews

    rootsmusic · 2 · Last reply by rootsmusic

    I wish that users can give feedback about whether a staff review is helpful or unhelpful.  If many users find a staff review is unhelpful, then those (e.g. blurbs) that should either be deleted or rewritten can be identified.  Staff reviewers will also improve their own writing based on feedback.

    website referesh

    Hello there. Love your site and use it religiously. However, i think at may be in your best interests to completely refresh your website. Key improvements could facilitate and increase traffic and make it just a more user friendly intuitive experience. Maybe not in the budget but i reckon it would pay for itself.

    replace blurbs when reviewing a release

    rootsmusic · 0 · Posted

    When reviewers decide to review a release, they should take a look at the initial release's review (if any).  For example, Dryden's review of the release could have easily bracketed his last two sentences to refer to the bonus disc.  If he did so, then his extended review could have replaced the initial release's blurb by Vinopal.

    metadata relevancy

    rootsmusic · 1 · Last reply by rootsmusic

    Please allow users to give feedback on the relevancy of metadata (e.g. genre, style).  By doing so, you can identify which metadata is irrelevant and which are more relevant.  Metadata with more relevance, as agreed by most users, will improve the relevancy of your recommenders and Advanced Search's results.  Thanks.
