We just launched a new feature -- Mixtapes.  If you have any questions or come across any bugs, post here.  Suggestions are welcome, too.

First off lemme say how much I LOVE THIS!!!!!  My friend and I were seriously just talking about how you can't find any good playlists anymore--people just tell you albums to download.   This is freaking AWESOME and I am so excited for more mixtapes to show up!!!!

That said, I tried to edit my mixtape to make the description a little clearer, but no dice.  I see all the SM stuff, so it's not a blank page, but in the middle where it would pop up is blank.

Thanks again for this feature!  I freakin' love it!

Thanks :)  I was so happy to see you create a mixtape a second after I made it live. 

I'm working on the settings area to change mixtape info.

I posted a mixtape accidently forgetting the songs, but it won't let me modify it now.  Why is this?

Okay, I got it now.  Sorry about that.

Great feature. I love it! :)

And yeah, asside from being unable to edit it, I didn't really notice anything. I would hope that with the editing we can change the order of songs? To me, the order of the songs makes a big difference when you're actually listening to it.

The songs are not listed in the order I added them also. Maybe they're not suppose to be, idk. Again though, love the feature.

You should be able to remove songs from a mixtape. 

I'm not sure how I want to handle sorting.  I've been debating how to rearrange song order.

Umm, exactly how does this feature work. I don't understand it? Do I just type in the artist and the song name for the description or what am I suppose to do here?

Help will be much ablidged

Kyle,

You have to go to whatever song you want to add to your mixtape and click add towards the top right.

I would really know how to add tracks to my smixtape!???   J

Go to the specific song you want to add.  Towards the top right, there is a box for mixtapes.  Select the mixtape and click add.

I have a suggestion for sorting. Have the track number be in editable fields. The user can then assign numbers to each track based on how he wants them ordered and then hit an update button to implement his changes. It would make this much more user friendly then the current system.

We thought about this. Microsoft SharePoint does it this way. I wasn't really a fan, it's too cumbersome I think.

How are the arrows working for everyone? Would you prefer something like anaivemelody suggested?

Hi there!

Great new addition to SM!

It'd be cool if SM could recommend you mixtapes from other users, perhaps based on a user's favorite artists or on a user's own mixtape.. Just a suggestion :)

It's coming. :)

How would that work? people get recommended stuff they already know?

ok, I'm lost.  Is this mixtape only lyrics or is there a way we can listen to the song?  Please help me??

Mark

Can't listen to the song, sorry.  It's just a way to say HERE IS MY MIXTAPE!

----------
mike SongMeanings Admin

that confused me the first time too. cos you had those new adverts with no border that were just a download button.

----------

The arrows can be somewhat tedious at times. They really don't work when I'm trying to arrange the first five or so songs from the list. And I feel a down arrow is necessary. Also, I can't see my own mixtape when I have it on private meaning I can't see what I've put on it nor can I edit it. Other than that, everything looks great so far. (Hope I didn't come off as a jerk)

you should put a list of links to every mixtape that a song is on on the lyric page.

----------

Oops, I overlooked something when editing your private mixtape.  I'll put a fix in.  Sorry about that.

Putting a down arrow could work.  I'd rather not have open fields.

----------
mike SongMeanings Admin

Love the new feature but I'm having trouble arranging songs the way I want them. I'll try to move songs up, and sometimes they won't move up at all. Also, if I try to move up a song, sometimes it swtiches with another song that's several places above it, ruining my flow! (For some reason, it's always my 6th song on the list that, when I arrow it up, always switches with my 2nd song...)

I see what is happening and know how to fix.  Thanks!!
