    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.)

    Entry about Electro-Industrial group 'Abortive Gasp' ?

    Peter Pervers · 0 · Posted

    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

    Will you be reviewing two artists' albums soon . . .

    Victor Ochoa · 0 · Posted

    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

    I can't access the site on my iPhone. It says to turn off AdBlocker or whitelist the url. I've whitelisted the url in AdBlocker but I still can't access the site. Not having the same problem on Mac. 

    Anyone know a solution? Thanks.

    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

    Missing Critic Rating On Review

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

    artists whose editorial coverage may have been dropped

    rootsmusic · 0 · Posted

    When editors don't review two consecutive albums, I get concerned that Allmusic is dropping artist coverage.  This request is to review artists who shouldn't be ignored.

    Bonny Light Horseman is releasing a DOUBLE-album, and their prior one has been rated by 44 users.  Only their debut has been reviewed though, and I always advocate against dropping coverage of a new artist after just one review.

    (A monumental box set has been updated with an additional disc, but Allmusic didn't catch its new release.  Despite the banjo's African origin, bluegrass is barely heard on that additional disc because it's historically rare
