Hey congrats to everyone for passing 5,000 a cappellas !! (!!!) - amazing and unique on the web.
And in case you haven’t noticed - we’ve enabled a brand new ‘Pells browser on the site - just click on the A Cappella tab at the top of this page to check it out. Peace, Victor |

Wonderful, thank you very much.
Without Flash its been pretty horrid trying to find and review samples. This is much better, especially with the instant downloads. |

… looks awesome! And the player at the bottom lifts it into the upper echelon of the Interwebs. Love it!
Not sure, if the following is a feature or a bug, or if I’m just missing something: When the browser window is less than a certain width, the “filters” button seems to disappear? And a potential feature request, if it’s not too messy to add: maybe show the length of the pells (mm:ss)? It’s not always a meaningful number, but for spoken word pieces it often is. And it’s always a meaningful maximum - i.e. if I see a 0:30, I know that the total sonic goodness in the file definitely isn’t more than half a minute. p.s. Just curious: Is it fair to assume you’re using an open source library for the player? If yes, I’d be curious what you’re using. |

between bug and feature is “as designed” - when the window gets too small (like on mobile) using that filter interface makes the whole thing pretty much unusable so, for now, it goes away.
regarding the reasoning on time: you’re going to preview the thing before you download no matter what the time length is, aren’t you? The source for the whole project (which includes dig, the pell browser and the new sample/stems browser) is at github. Currently using soundmanager2 but experimenting with aurora to play FLAC. |

regarding the reasoning on time: as it sits now, I actually have to download just to find out the time, not just preview. But not a biggie, if it’s a PITA to add to the UI.
thanks for the info re soundmanager2 and aurora! |

Thanks for adding the time to the detail box!
Regarding site usage: I’m accessing ccM from multiple devices. Win7, OS/X, iOS small screen, iOS medium screen: 9.7” Current regular usage: Win7: everything, including up and downloading OSX: everything, except up and downloading iOS: currently occasional browsing, listening to a specific song (not logged in) — BUT: with your current efforts to make things less Flash dependent and mobile UI friendly, I look forward to more commenting and recommending during times when not at a computer, so your current work will likely increase my iOS usage significantly. I use time as one of the high level signals (along with bpm, title, description, and tags) to decide if a pell might work for my current mood, concept, and appetite for the amount of work it will take to massage. e.g. a lengthy spoken word piece will take extra work to massage into a 5 minute remix. A very short melodic pell will take extra work to keep interesting in a 5 minute pop song. Or conversely: it may be ideal for a mashup with multiple sources or for a mostly instrumental EDM production with few vocal hooks. So I make quite a few filtering decisions based on metadata before even listening or downloading. The argument could be made that with the massive and growing volume of ccM content, filtering is becoming increasingly important, whether it be via tags, curation, search or whatever. |
