AboutThe application combines several key areas for creators that make it easy to find, share and promote legal audio and music works:
Killer FeaturesThere are currently four tabbed views for managing Playlists: Hot Playlists - Create - Popular Remixes - New Multiple playlists can be opened simultaneously in the 'Hot' and 'New' browse modes. In the 'Create' view you can quickly make customized, automatically updating playlists using the simple online interface. There's a choice of parameters to choose from that allow you to locate and filter media files for fine-tuning the list. These include: Playlist Types, Artists (users), Tags, License Type, Ratings, Time Period and more. Free Registration Registered users can save and share their playlists including individual list items such as songs and samples. Full integration between community lists make it a breeze to add media items from one list to another with a single mouse click. New playlists can be created on the fly instantaneously, for example when browsing and listening to audio, in a seamless listening environment. Each list you create is automatically added to your community profile area. RSS feeds are generated for all your playlists. You can also edit important elements in your list such as dynamic parameters, the order of list items, tags, playlist title and description. Simple html formatting is allowed in the description so you can include links to websites, contact information or the location of a web page widget that uses the playlist feed. The ability to dynamically create playlists/podcast feeds by licence type, combined tags and other key factors makes it easy to create hybrid audio channels including sound sample based feeds as well as music playlists. For example here's a dynamic RSS feed for a capella melodies based on user ratings: http://ccmixter.org/media/api/query?tags=melody&reqtags=acappella&type=all&limit=50&f=rss Click on this icon to view and listen to the feed in a Grazr widget There are also filtering options for Popular Remixes, which shows the audio media most frequently included in playlists.
