    API Access / Soundiiz

    SpotifyThrowbacks · 0 · Posted

    Hi,

    I use a website called "Soundiiz" to migrate/convert playlists between streaming services. I was told that you don't have an API available that would allow Soundiiz to add you to their list of playlist/album resources. I STRONGLY suggest that you consider offering an API, as in the age of streaming, it's all about playlists. And since you offer album recommendations, Soundiiz would be a great companion. PLEASE consider offering this, so that Soundiiz users can easily incorporate our saved albums here to Soundiiz.  https://soundiiz.com/

    Thanks

    Nothing But Thieves?

    tv · 1 · Last reply by tv

    Here's a band whose albums have been rated by hundreds of users without ever receiving attention from your reviewers. I'd love to hear what they think. :)

    Al Goodman, who died in 1972, did not cowrite any Ben Folds Five songs

    Bjork Fjordson · 1 · Last reply by Zac

    The songs "Kate" and "Smoke" on the Ben Folds Five record Whatever And Ever Amen were cowritten by Anna Goodman (Ben Folds' ex-wife). AllMusic currently lists the cowriter as the very deceased composer Al Goodman.

    Rating missing for Shania Twain’s new album “Queen of Me”

    Marnie Andrews · 3 · Last reply by Zac

    Although the review isn’t highly positive, I’m guessing it’s not meant to be 0 stars. See https://www.allmusic.com/album/queen-of-me-mw0003847601

    unjustified ratings

    rootsmusic · 1 · Last reply by Zac

    Even when not justified by any review, an editor rating is better than no rating.  But a justified rating should override an unjustified one.  (The album was attributed to an artist called Free Creek, but it's really a split album with songs by Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Keith Emerson, Harvey Mandel, Moogy Klingman and Linda Ronstadt.  If the album is cross-listed under those artists, then more of their fans would become aware of it.)

    Style guide enquiry

    Declan Haselhurst · 2 · Last reply by rootsmusic

    Why do you write "Eurodance" with a hyphen? From what I've seen on the internet, most people write it without one. For consistency, the hyphen should be removed. Thanks!

    No Pictures

    Unfortunately there are no pictures anymore on the Allmusic website. It's the same wether I use a Windows PC, my Macbook or my IPhone.

    How do you suggest I fix this annoying problem

    Regards Palle Drost

    album thumbnail

    rootsmusic · 1 · Last reply by Zac

    In the album discography, I Wonder Do You Think of Me doesn't show an image thumbnail.  But why does the thumbnail display in the scrolling discography browser (below the large image)?

    in his compilation discography, The Best of Keith Whitley doesn't show an image thumbnail.  But why does the thumbnail display for its releases?

    Browser Freezing Up

    John Herald · 2 · Last reply by Zac

    You popups or whatever else you have going on is causing my browser to freeze up. I'm a public radio dj and use AllMusic for info for my show. But I don't have the time for this nonsense.

    Classical Reviews Question

    Bill McClelland · 3 · Last reply by Zac

    We would like to contact James Manheim or the classical department about a classical recording which we fear he may not have received information about. We are hoping that, even though it was released awhile ago, he might still consider reviewing it. Is there a way to contact him or send him the recording information? Thank you.

    Expand International Genres and Sub Genres

    Will Whitney · 3 · Last reply by Zac

    I suggest expanding / separating international music genres. African music, for example, now has several very prominent, and very distinctive sub genres in the mainstream that are not represented here (Afrobeat, Afrobeats, Afro-pop, High Life, Amapiano, etc) that it should stand alone as a category, the way Latin is a standalone genre.

    Images don't load while on VPN

    TimP · 2 · Last reply by Zac

    I use a VPN service (Mullvad). When I connect to AllMusic.com when going through their Seattle wireguard servers, the website loads, but without any images. This also happens to the weekly email - it shows up with no images. If I switch to Mullvad's wireguard servers in San Jose, however, both the website and weekly email work fine. Any way we can whitelist all Mullvad VPN servers? A lot of people use VPNs these days. Thanks for the consideration.

    Recommendations lack diversity, even though I listen to a wide range of music.

    rochelle218 · 1 · Last reply by Zac

    I’ve noticed that whenever I view my AllMusic recommendations, it only shows mostly jazz albums and a handful of classic rock. I do listen to these genres, but I also listen to a lot of other music, such as modern pop, country, R&B, rock, metal, and much more. Is the recommendations feature still being improved, or is there something I need to do in order to receive more accurate recommendations? Thanks!

    the rating system is not accessible to blind people using a screen reader.

    Warcat · 3 · Last reply by Dan

    I recently found out that your site offers recommendations based on my album ratings. The problem is that i can't choose a rating using my screen reader NVDA. I am using chrome with windows, btw. When I am on an album page, i can only see this:

    AllMusic Rating 10 User Ratings (6.770) Your Rating Your user rating

    I guess you can somehow change the "your rating" line to some value, however I am unable to do so.

    maybe a combo box would be helpful, but I don't know how that would affect the visual component of the site.

    Popups don’t have to ruin Allmusic…

    Michael Geary · 1 · Last reply by Zac

    ….but it has.

    Assaulting the user this way with

    uncontrolled mayhem of the digital sort

    is thoughtess.  Primitive by any standard.

    Just remember what it used to be.

  • Sound Samples No Longer Available on AllMusic

    Zac · 3 · Last reply by Zac

    Unfortunately our data provider is no longer making the 30-second sound clips of songs available to us.

    It was a huge undertaking to rip the music clips from physical and digital sources, and then to host and deliver those clips (in multiple formats). They've determined that while the feature was appreciated, they could no longer support the business case of providing it as a product.

    We understand that this was an important part of exploring and discovering music on the site and we're investigating other partnerships to try to bring the sound clips or streaming options back.
