I wrote you on May, 1st, but unfortunatelly I haven’t get an answer yet.

I have another questions and suggestion, but if my interventions will be upset you, I prefer don’t annoy you.

That´s all folks!

Website will operate independently. Current hard link between website and OrangeCD Catalog is only temporary. It was by all means NOT intended to be OrangeCD extension only!

Thanks for the reply! But let me see if I have this straight…

To mark an album as “played”, my *only* option is to first play it in OrangeCD Player, then proactively publish my data through OrangeCD Catalog? Why can’t I just mark an album as “played” through the website? (And rate tracks on the site, for that matter?)

Is racksandtags.com only intended as an online extension of OrangeCD Player & Catalog? Because while I really enjoy OrangeCD Player, I have no interest in the Catalog software. I’m interested in a site that can function independently, where I can add albums, rate them, mark them as recently played, and offer RSS feeds of all this info to my friends.

What is the eventual goal for the site, both independently and in conjunction with OrangeCD?

If you play CD in OrangeCD Player, then publish your data on R&T, the CDs will come up as recently played. Similarly if you start playing MP3 albums from OrangeCD Catalog interface, they will also be in recently played section.

And, think of the website as the place where you can manage both CD racks and MP3 tags – or at least it’s the goal

A lot of features are actually in the works, but I think you get the idea behind the website. Please stay tuned for more features.

A) catalog my music collection online
B) mark albums as “recently played”
C) grab an RSS feed of “my recently played” albums

Essentially, I’ve been looking for a music equivalent of Netflix (movies) and Goodreads (books).

I’m a longtime fan of Orange CD player, so I went to firetongue.com to see if they had anything in the works (or anything suggestions), and lo and behold, here I am.

It *seems* like Racks and Tags will be able to provide all three of the above items, except for one thing: I cannot find how to mark an album as “recently played”. Am I just missing something? I can’t seem to rate albums either, but that’s a little less important to me.

So, is this a “in the works” feature or am I just dense?

On a side note, as a user-interface designer and web developer, I really like the clean look and feel of the site. It comes off as very new, but promising.

If I can offer one little bit of constructive criticism, though, it would be that “Racks and Tags” is anything but easy to remember. By itself, the name does not conjure up any ideas of music or musical connections. It doesn’t roll off the tongue and it’s not easy to remember or even easy to say. I think you guys can do better.

Thanks!

And now, a site that I can show everyone (mainly my friends, to envy it!!!).

But I hope, that I may contribute with some suggestions (may I?)
It is possible to show on the profile of the band:
- Name of Country (the old version of My Genres had it)
- Label record Company
- The lyrics
- To put first the Name of the song )after the composer, as it showed in AMG, for exemple).
- To hyperlink the name of the song with other occurrences in my own collection
- The credits (the tab from OrangeCD)
- The line –up / musicians (with hiperlinks – same as my suggestion to the songs)
- The recording informations (the tab from OrangeCD).

I know it´s a huge and boring mastodontic work. And you have my humble thankfulness.

I think (and I may be wrong) it´s only a contribution from a music lover. And I think other music lovers will l like.

I wish you my best regards…

PEACE!
LOVE!
HAPPINESS!
