acid2 Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 I've recently moved to rolldabeats from discogs because I favour the interface, the quality of releases and naturally, it's all dnb based! But I find watchlists very useful for seeing if I missed a release and such. I'd like watchlists on artists and labels (what else can you watch o.O) Anyway, what are your thoughts?

thijs Posted August 26, 2006 Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 could you explain in more detail what this function does? i have an idea, but not quite sure... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acid2 Posted August 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 Sorry, I didn't make it too clear Basically, I like the artist XRS, for example. So I want to make sure I get all his releases and so on. Of course, there are other artists I like so constantly checking is a bit of a hassle. With a watchlist, everytime each of these artists have a release added, I can view these additions, and purchase the music if I need to. Basically, when I go to my watchlist, I can view new additions in the last, 1-7 days, to my selected artists/labels. Does this clarify the idea?

Ornette Posted August 26, 2006 Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 A bit like the Latest Additions - http://www.rolldabeats.com/updates/but for only the artists you select? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spot on Maybe with checkboxes so we can add them to our wishlist? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ornette Posted August 26, 2006 Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 And e-mail notification informing you when any matches are made? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acid2 Posted August 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 And e-mail notification informing you when any matches are made?Hadn't thought about that That'd certainly be a nice idea, probably best if we can send diggests at the end of each day/week showing an accumulation of releases? Don't want to come and see you've got 432 unread emails for your 20 subscribed labels after going on holiday :biggrin: Edit: scrap that, what about RSS?

sch_pr Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 Edit: scrap that, what about RSS? Yup, i actually already asked about that, but didn't have any echoes :smile: (i still think it's a good idea...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Java Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 An interesting idea, I think it would be pretty good! The only problem I envisage with this is for releases that are decided upon by a label well in advance but dont come out for ages. For example, look at the Vibez catalogue, there are about 8 forward releases but I don't think most of them are (realistically) coming out this year. Maybe it would be better if you got a notification upon its actual release date, rather than its addition to the database. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liquid986 Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 yes... RSS would be the perfect solution for that! And then it would be much easier to add RSS feeds for the labels as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
