This post will be used to announce new features on Mix2r.com

January 9, 2007 - Favorites

As of today, certain node types such as audio, playlist, forum topic and book page can be added to a favorites list that is accessible by clicking on "My Account" at the top of the screen. To add a node to your favorites, look for a link named "add to favorites" beneath the content in question.

January 9, 2007 - BPM metadata

As of today, if you have embedded BPM in your track's ID3 metadata, it will be browsable on Mix2r.com.

Browse by BPM

If you know the BPM of your existing tracks, you can even edit the ID3 metadata online, just by hitting the "edit" link at the top of your audio's page, and entering the BPM.

At the moment, none of the music has BPM metadata...but when it does it will be a great tool for DJs!

January 10, 2007 - Key metadata

As of today, if you have embedded Key in your track's ID3 metadata, it will be browsable on Mix2r.com. Its very unlikely that you have, as we're unsure if its even a standard ID3 field...but luckily, you can enter Key here to help others find music in a particular key.

Browse by Key

If you know the Key of your existing tracks, you can edit the ID3 metadata online, just by hitting the "edit" link at the top of your audio's page, and entering the Key (A, C, etc.).

At the moment, none of the music has Key metadata...but when it does it will be a great tool for DJs!

January 14, 2007 - Events, Profile, and Forum

Any user can now see events added by other users, as well as add their own events. This is useful, for instance, if you're a DJ and want to let people know when you are playing live. Click here to add an event, or Click here to see the calendar.

We've started playing around with user profiles a bit, so you'll notice them getting better over time. The goal is to eventually allow you to pimp then out, kinda like MySpace does...but hopefully without letting you make a horrendous mess :-)

And finally, we've made forums a bit easier to read, and we know include your avatar in posts if you have one.

Yeah, I've been working on

Yeah, I've been working on that but unfortunately I can't get the code working that automagically resizes the avatars, so its a bit of a trainwreck in parts right now :-)

Update: the avatars resize now. less trainwreck :-)
