Thanks mate appreciate those kind words. We still have a LOT of work to develop this to get it to where we want it to be. Which is why I'm thankful for helpful forums like this where people truly give a shit about music, and are kind enough to take the time to feedback.

This is awesome feedback! When I hear things like this I know I'm on the right track. As you quite rightly point out though we need to iron out all the kinks, of which there are many,. This is inevitable in the early stages of a startup unfortunately, especially when we are not funded. I wanted to address a few of your points: 1. List view - this has been requsted a number of times and I completely agree with you here. We should give the user the option! 2. More sources - 100%. We actually envision the site having hundreds of sources, just like Feedly. It's not feasible to do this straight away though as we are still working out how to deal with duplicate stories 3. Importing - had not thought of Discogs. Looks like they have an API though so good shout. We also would like Google (play music and youtube). 4. App - we 100% want this when we have the funding. MY ideas is that it would detect what you are playing on your device too, and then display the most recent news for that artist. That would be hugely valuable I think. Thanks for taking the time. These are all things that have come up in conversation so its great to hear them again to know that they are important! Let me know any other feedback if it comes up as you use the site. Cheers!

I think we can actually take that data and use it on our site. The bonus of that is that we encourage users to follow MORE artists. The more artists you follow on MuzeRoom the more likely you are to continue to use it. I think rather than having it as a feature, we build it in as a nice add-on to the newsfeed experience.

Feedback on this post thus far has been superb, so thank you all.

Hey guys - AWESOME feedback. Love it. Jokes AND valuable feedback = winning! Thanks for taking the time. Let me address a few of the points (sorry it took a while, been sleeping here in Oz!). Definitely a good question. For now we are a portal dedicated to what you CURRENTLY like. We would like to have 'similar artists' as part of your feed in future though because we all know how fun music discovery is. We'll know who you are following and can make suggestions based off of that. Yeah there is definitely duplication of articles. In your newsfeed we put them in the same tile under 'trending news' which has helped massively. On the artist page however we haven't done that yet - http://www.muzeroom.com/artists/green-day - although that is on our list of things to do. This page should be more interactive and have less duplication. We are going to also add videos and releases to this page. In regards to social, Facebook is a joke. In a week long test I saw updates from 1.36% of the 210 artists I followed (more on that here if you are interested- https://medium.com/cuepoint/the-facebook-music-test-proof-you-are-missing-updates-from-your-favourite-artists-a5fe2094da9f#.n1ll3slti) Re: 1, we are definitely working on this (as comments above). We were never going to be able to solve it straight up. It's going to take some time to get it perfected. re: 2 this is an interesting point we have spoken at length about. We are definitely keen on FB and Instagram. I LOVE the idea of letting the user turn this on/off per feed. We wouldn't do Twitter because there is jut too much 'crap' on that platform ie Kanye just tweeted he likes burgers! yay. If an artist tweets anything of note, someone will write about it and we'll pull that in. The idea is definitely to have a feed that is music only and fully customised for you. For some reason this quote is stuck at the bottom of my reply. Yes, all music fans welcome! I don't care if you are a fake Kenny Rogers fan, or a real Katy Perry fan tbh! This made me giggle!

I'm not an active poster here (I want to be upfront about that rather than lie and deceive!) but I would absolutely love your feedback on a pet project of mine. I AM a vinyl collector if that helps! [Discogs] I'm music obsessed. I used to start my day by visiting various music news sites like the NME, Pitchfork, and DiS. It took waaaaaaay too long. I like too many artists across too many genres, and I kept missing news. So 2 months ago I launched www.muzeroom.com You can import your artists likes and listens from FB, Spotify, & last.fm. MuzeRoom then feeds you music news, new releases, and music videos - but only for the artists you follow. It curates content from over 50 different sites. I need feedback from real dedicated music fans, and I feel this is the perfect place for that. I'd absolutely love your constructive thoughts whether positive or negative! Cheers.
