    possibilities to change your business model

    rootsmusic · 2 · Last reply by rootsmusic

    (I've always thought that your business model's fatal flaw is its singular dependence on a data vendor.)  At least for content, would you consider adding content sources?  If you don't want to directly hire freelancing editors to supplement your data vendor's content, then you can syndicate content from other music publishers.  Otherwise, your growth is constrained by an independent business over which you have no influence.

    Still bristling about two reviews . .

    Victor Ochoa · 0 · Posted

    Rufus Wainwright's Want One:  Two and a half stars. Really? Really. One must admit the reviewer is mostly to be acknowledged for the review, pointing out its strongest pieces. Yet no mention of Dinner At Eight, the concluding song which is almost too good to be true. And by the reviewer's own admission: "frankly, Wainwright could be singing lists of names out a phone book and still be more exciting and inventive than 99 percent of the other albums out there". So why the unreflecting, seemingly biased and blase star review?

    A Sad Decline

    Nathan Dean · 3 · Last reply by Zac

    Ironiclally on the very day I renew my Allmusic subscripton, I learn you've laid of Stephen Thomas Erlewine. The site has less coverage of new music than ever before and barely limps along in functionality. Thankfully, there are still places like Acclaimed Music forums that are actually interested in serving their audience. I doubt this site lasts the length of my subscription, and am not sure I'll care if it doesn't. (Also, funny enough, I haven't had to work this hard to leave a comment since the internet was dial-up.)

    Wouldn't an entry about the electro-industrial group 'Abortive Gasp' also be interesting for AllMusic? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abortive_Gasp

    Advanced Search Using Recording Types Filter not persisting

    kfischer30 · 1 · Last reply by Zac

    The Recording Types filter is not persisting after using the Browser back button.

    Steps to recreate

    1. Create an advanced filter using the recording types (Main Albums)
      • Here is a common filter I use
        • Genre & Style
        • AllMusic Rating
        • Recording Type
        • Album Moods
        • Album Themes
    2. Execute the search
    3. Click on an album from the search results
    4. Scroll down on the Album results page (I often do this when I am looking for something specific in the result) I also use the browser find in page feature to try and locate a key word on the page
    5. Click the Browser back button

    You have yet to review Owen Pallett's Island album, nor have you reviewed Duncan Sheik's Claptrap album. Will you be doing so sometime in the near future? Thank you.

    Does AllMusic have an API

    Michael Glenn Williams · 2 · Last reply by Zac

    HI All,

    What a great resource! DO you offer an API to access the information dynamically? If not, why not?!

    We developers need it!

    Many thanks,

    Michael

    User red star ratings missing from discography! Please fix!

    Mark McKenzie · 1 · Last reply by Vedro78St

    User red star ratings are extremely important to view in the discography list for album to album discography comparisons. They have been missing from discography pages on iOS for months now. The blue star reviews in general are less informative than the red star (with qty) user reviews. For example, an album may have user rating with of 125qty and 5 stars while having an allmusic blue star rating of 3 stars. It’s of primary importance when looking at an artists full discography to see both red and blue star reviews to get an accurate feel if the album is

    Crypto Scammers pretending to be AllMusic

    Alexandre Laframboise · 2 · Last reply by Zac

    Hello. 

    I got approached a lot by scammers lately via mobile texts that claim to work for AllMusic, and they all say they offer remote jobs. They end up insisting users to go on WhatsApp and to make an account on a fake AllMusic website, where they then tell the users that they can they get paid by rating albums. Eventually it leads to a conversation about transferring the fake earned money from that website into cryptocurrency, which I'm positive leads to some method of phishing users out of their actual accounts. They had many AllMusic training groups on WhatsApp

    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.

    Hey! I noticed a review that seems to have insight, but no rating appears to be attached? Is this intentional?

    Negative Reviews and Biased Commentary

    Phoenix DaRonco · 0 · Posted

    While music journalists are known as critics, they are also viewed as guides for musical history, biographies, music personnel and new releases. However, these guides become pretentious, snobby and biased when focused on negative reviews, even the chief editor. They will give perfect ratings to certain albums, but will rip others to shreds, often for the smallest things. One album is praised for being inspired by a previous work, while the other is slammed for the same reason. The reason why I'm concerned about this is because rather than being informative, negative reviews are entirely opinion-based and only cater to
