First of all i want to say that Trash80, you're doing an amazing job! Everything looks great and functions well and I'm glad to see a new community arising here.

If this has been suggested already, sorry for kicking the dead horse.

Anyways! So something I'd love to see here and that would make listening to music here much more enjoyable would be some sort of a radio page. It would automagically play random tracks, or tracks in a given genre/tagset and you could comment and bookmark each song without ever changing pages. As soon as one song ended the next would start so it would be easy to leave it playing in a tab and only visit it if you feel like commenting on the current song.

This is a similar idea to what woolyss has done here, however it could be designed so that playback could be tailored to specifications and each song could be commented on and bookmarked without leaving the page.

Thanks for everything dude.

"you could comment and bookmark each song without ever changing pages. "
It's all features already available by using the Music section.
Yes, the music here is not available on Kohina. but it could if someone submitted it and it was good enough.

They're available in the music seciton yes, but what I'd like is basically a fancy version of the music page that changes songs after the last one finishes and can play from a set of songs from specific criteria.

Kohina is cool, but I'd like to be able to be involved in the community when I'm listening to things.

sounds like a great idea to me. that woolyss player seems already a little too fancy for my taste, should be just a simple little player (like the flash nsf player), displaying only the basic controls, info about artist and track name and a link to the track's page. the selection should random tracks from the music section, maybe a bit weighted towards new tracks and tracks that have received many comments cause let's be honest: a large number of tracks from the music section are... ermm... not really masterpieces.

It seems like a good idea, but it'd probably be a pain to maintain.

all we need is a dynamic xml feed of all the music in the archive.
if we had a simple API for searching, or limiting results, the
entire archive could be played in one large web application
(like flash or javascript) or in stand alone players like winamp.

i could totally make this happen.

Hello everybody,
And thank you Zef for reference to my online player. wink
http://woolyss.com/chipmusic-webradios-8bc.php

Sure, I made it quickly because I need a webradio player to listen to music quickly. As many people, I like to listen to music without to click, click, clik... on each submitted chiptune page. So please, admins, make your own Chip-player ! It is not difficult at all ! wink

Well ! I made dynamic M3U (Winamp) and PLS (iTunes, VLC, XMPlay...) playlists. If you want other formats, tell me.

It plays 90 chiptunes.

Hope, you like !

Why chipmusic.org does not make this ? It is easy. I love radio ! wink

Cheers!

Pretty sweet!  Do you need special access to do this or are you planning the same thing for this site?

Thank you very much egr,
Yes I need only a RSS file with MP3. There is no RSS on Chipmusic.org. So I can not do it. But, I will do, if there is one.
