Let's get some quick suggestions for new features you'd like to see. Last thing I added were the 30 second music previews to the music database - anything else you'd like to see on this part of the site?

Some of my thoughts are:

Gallery for listener pictures
Changing reviews to be per-song (I'm still somewhat on the fence here but open to suggestions)
Better music submission/suggestion system (something more democratic than a forum thread - maybe someone submits an album suggestion and everyone can upvote/downvote it, etc)
Something else...

Give me your ideas, I figure I will have some time on Sunday at least to try and get some code started.

would it be possible to have the wish list work so that the specific song being played is identified not just the Album??

Well, I kind of doubt these are one Sunday suggestions but...

Since this is a radio station site having a place to share playlists of favorite tracks might not be a good fit so what about a way to link tracks? Sort of a "if you like this track then you might also like..." type of thing. Maybe put it in a <DIV> or <SPAN> with a (+/-) to the left of the track to toggle showing suggestions. As an extra step, at least if there turn out to be lots of suggestions, let users give each suggestion a thumbs up or thumbs down and show the net score and sort the suggestions.

If the tracks from albums are "fungible" for you then what about letting users vote tracks on or off an album from the DG rotation?

Along with rating the tracks that are available you could show the tracks that are on the album but not available for playing so those can be rated too.

Just a few quick suggestions. :-p

Looks like per-song reviews are winning so far.

The problem with this is you can add an album to your wishlist through the music database also...

Late comment! :-)

Could you add a sortable rating column to musicDb.php? It'd be nice to be able to find the top rated albums.

I'll add it to the list, working on the per-song reviews right now. Just trying to figure out exactly how I want to present the information.
