does tagging authors as favorites actually do anything? I was thinking that taggings an author would send you an email when tagged person submitted something new. Either this isn't the case, or the 20 or so people I tagged are lazy bastards.

also I dunno if this has been mentioned already, but a size increase to at least 5 megs for an audio song would be much appreciated - even with vbr you can only whittle lets say.. a 6 min song down so much..

The A-bot addition looks killer. I just wish that there was the old gold, platinum and diamond thing again with the page listing the 50 or 30 latest tracks from the artist, instead of that one page, one track, one headache thing. I hope they put that back because it was much less complicated and it was sooooo many less clicks. The visualizations are awesome and run lag free so its sort of a win lose situation at the moment i guess.

The reason they don't have gold/platinum/whatever is because we can upload CD art, and mass downloads.

If you want to get to the next page you can just add /2 after the URL, like [http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/list/3/

All that I've noticed:

-Ability to see your reviews is disabled, both on your page and on your account options thing.

-Ability to see other people's reviews is disabled.

-The "More recent submissions" and "More all-time best submissions" (or whatever it's called) don't do anything

-Still no deleting.

-Loss of the platinum track stuff.

-Uploading doesn't work in Safari.

-You can only view the first page of submissions in each section, there are no page jumps to my knowledge.

-I miss the old ng. :(

relicensed all the music to a CC system.. Firstly this annoys me a bit, because they used a difference license than I otherwised clearly specified on my account page - The license I use is slightly more restrictive when it comes to remixing.

The Creative Commons feature was intended to allow authors to select their CC criteria, but since that wasn't finished in time, we tried to launch with criteria the most closely matched the spirit of the Audio Portal. If it rubs enough people the wrong way, we might have to remove it until we have a completely customizeable system.

The edit and remove feature is laid out, just not fully implemented on the back-end. The page navs will return very soon. I've also already got the new genre browsing system mapped out in my head, since so many people have been put off by the lack of "same page listening" on the list pages. And yeah, we REALLY need to be tracking more awards and sticking them on the audio pages.

The audio pages have moved in the direction of resembling Flash pages because we want to maintain consistency and ease of use across the site. If someone knows how to vote on, review and add Flash to their favorites, they will be able to come to the Audio Portal and immediately do all the same things. The hope is that zero voting will be less of an issue, as a more general audience votes up songs they like. The previous AP was too closed off from mainstream listeners - we're hoping to really open it up to the audience and have more people take an interest. When you watch a Flash, it's a lot more fun now to click on the music credits and hear the song - at least, I know I've been doing it a lot more ever since we set this up in a staging environment. :)


This is the game JohnnyUtah and I have been working on.

Me, too. Although I am starting to enjoy a couple of the new features, like the full userpage (even if it is a watered-down version of a myspace page) But yeah, I told myself a long time ago that I was going to respond to EVERY review, and even before the change, it was kind've difficult to do, seeing as though my number of reviews has spiked this past year. Now it's impossible. I'd have to look at every single song page every single day, and I really hate that. I feel detached from my listeners, and before the change, that was all the NG Audio Portal had going for it - convenience and direct communication with listeners. They took both away...

Why?

Suggestions for the Audio Portal

--Make it so that we are able to delete our crappy music. I know I have a list of those

--Let us edit our songs that were submitted before the redesign so that we can upload album art to them

--I preffered to stream the music from your main Audio Page instead of clicking every individual song

--Make an option where you can look at your song statistics such as: List number of downloads, number of views, number of submissions used in and number of reviews. Have it so that we can be kept updated of new reviews, new submissions our songs were used in and so on. Just like the updates in DeviantArt or SheezyArt.

--Bring in some Audio Portal rewards just like those you get for flash movies? Such as weekly 1-5 and so on.

--Make a looping player that plays one of your songs at random on your Audio Page [Like the ParagonX9 flash loop player on the previous AP]. It might also come in playing the most popular ones OR ones of your choice.

Forgot the rest, lol.

Fora, they added plenty, give it some time, more features will show themselves.

My biggest concern right now, there is no way to flag songs?! I've found somebody who blatantly steals all his work, doesn't even deny it, yet there is no way to report him.

Except by this text field.

http://alphaforce.newgrounds.com/

is the person in case that helps.

You know what would be awesome? If newgrounds had the music sequencer from splicemusic.com embedded in the site somewhere. Then you could make music immediately!

Submitted my great first audio submission about six hours ago but it's still waiting for a moderator approval... It says that it would happen fairly and quickly but nothing happened yet!

Do I get a pm if it didn't pass judgement?

Ya gotta wait at least a day, man. If you don't see anything in three days, it's probably not accepted.

By the way, html links aren't rendering properly in the "respond to reviews" section. It just shows the raw code. :-|

I posted this in another thread, but I'll put it here too:
It'd be great to have daily updates, like a PM saying which songs got reviewed, how many downloads, how many listeners, if you got featured in a flash, etcetera.

And it'd also be great to have a "New Post" button at the bottom of the threads. Cause that's usually where you are when you wanna add something. :-|

Third!

This sounds like Facebook, they give a new notificaton when some one writes, draws, or etc...
This would be an awesome plugin.

I've found a bug of sorts.

I tried voting on a song of mine, but it said the next NG Day started in 12 seconds. Fine, I waited 12 seconds. But when I tried again, it said that I already voted today and the next day starts in 24 hours! And my vote didn't get recorded! gahh!

I have experienced that problem at least thrice thus far. I don't rightly know why it does that, but it assumes I voted on ALL of my pieces...

Also the post about getting an email per new review is NECESSARY in my opinion. I'm tired of having to click through enough links to kill a small elephant.
