    add Bandcamp to data feed

    rootsmusic · 1 · Last reply by rootsmusic

    "Indie releases" are increasing, and more artists are self-releasing (or basically doing so with a dedicated label owned by their patron).  Allmusic is unable to capture many indie releases, because they usually aren't distributed by major distributors.  Since Allmusic doesn't accept data contributions from users, I suggest at least adding Bandcamp as a data feed to partially address this data need.

    A Problem with My Review

    The Triumph of the Thrill · 1 · Last reply by Zac

    There's a bug when it comes to reviewing an album in the AllMusic site. In my recent review of Yes' "The Yes Album" my edits are not reflected after I submit the corrections and it seems that now paragraphs are no longer allowed in reviews as attempts at spacing are no longer recognized by the page. The entire review always appears as one huge block of text. There also seems to be a limit to the number of words one can use in a review as words typed are automatically deleted while typing a review.

    I hope these can be

    How do I convert You Tube MP4 music videos to MP3 and ensure that musician is paid?

    Alfi · 1 · Last reply by Zac

    I need MP3 format music for my community radio show (public broadcasting, government-grant funded). How do I convert You Tube MP4 music videos (using WinX Video Converter) to MP3 and ensure that musicians are paid for the use of their music?

    No more pop-up info at discography

    Michaël · 1 · Last reply by Zac

    A pop-up used to show up while hovering over an album, showing one's own rating of the album. That's disappeared. Why?

    Please put it back or, even better: display one's own rating next to the 'user rating'!

    If there's not enough space, then I would suggest, just discard of the 'Allmusic Rating'. I never, NEVER! take that into consideration as the 'user rating' much more often reflects my own (dis)liking of an album.

    Collection albums: can not be sorted by artist

    Michaël · 4 · Last reply by Zac

    Since Allmusic's new look, collection albums can no longer be sorted by artist. That's quite annoying!

    Actually, Allmusic hasn't at all improved since the new layout. The old one was far better!

    Search is weird

    tv · 18 · Last reply by Zac

    Search is weird at the moment. 'charles lloyd blessing', for example, does not return any of the many recordings of his 'The Blessing' (and many other searches also turn up suspiciously few results). Is there something wrong?

    add ratings in search results

    rootsmusic · 1 · Last reply by rootsmusic

    Since the mobile-only redesign has disabled tooltips, desktop users can no longer peek into a search result within the same tab.  Tooltips previously made it possible to quickly identify which results have editor and user ratings.  It was especially useful when searching an album series or versions.

    Without tooltips, I have to open every result in a new tab while keeping the results tab open.  Unfortunately, this workaround slows down my browser and can even crash it if its bandwidth overloads.  Instead of this problematic workaround, can editor and user ratings as well as review icons (indicating an editor review)

    Missing discography for Headstone

    Matt Henderson · 1 · Last reply by Zac

    I've run into this issue a few times since the site redesign, but as an example, with this artist the discography is missing:

    https://www.allmusic.com/artist/headstone-mn0004220287

    However, the albums still index and can be found in search, for example:

    Track picks are missing for classical releases

    Matt Henderson · 2 · Last reply by Zac

    Since the site redesign no new classical albums have track picks - and it looks like classical albums that used to have track picks no longer have them. Not sure if this was intentional or accidental. Please advise.

    discography's thumbnails are zoomed in

    rootsmusic · 2 · Last reply by rootsmusic

    Why are the discography thumbnails zoomed in?  Since you don't have a collaborator search, I often scan album covers as a proxy for finding collaborative albums.

    One Last Album Review Request for the Year

    Matski · 4 · Last reply by Matski

    With only a few weeks to go before AllMusic likely releases their article regarding their favourite albums of the year, I've gathered another small list of forgotten pretenders to put forward, with consideration for a last minute review. Though the previous request didn't find any takers (feel free to check them out too) hopefully this one has a few names that will gain interest. All the albums suggested reviewed well elsewhere, gained a healthy number of user ratings and have even received at least a couple of user reviews:

    • Allison Russell - The Returner
    • Model/Actriz - Dogsbody
    • Róisín Murphy -

    Hover over album name in New Releases no longer works after update

    Jason Bodnar · 1 · Last reply by Jason Bodnar

    Prior to your new design update a few weeks ago you could hover over an album name in the New Releases list to get some basic info about the album, namely the release date which is useful for determining if this is a new release or a reissue. This no longer works after the design update. Please bring this feature back.

    Music submissions via Xperi incomplete or with missing credits.

    Edward Vinatea · 0 · Posted

    It has become apparent that AllMusic is either not listing all the information entered in the excel file submitted to Xperi, or is being added to AllMusic incomplete. Specifically, all people's music credits!

    Seriously, you need to switch gears, up your game and pay attention to whom you delegate the critical task of cataloging and archiving the music online!

    That is, if these omissions aren't coming from the people on XPERI.
