Finding Your Vibe
Does this sound familiar?
You’re looking for a dance track. You visit a standard digital download website. A world of the latest and greatest releases opens up before you. You find the filter and start the process of looking for that niche. The search produces 5,000 results, scattered across hundreds of pages. You sigh. You’ve got no time for this, and it’s such an effort.
There’s a problem. Your ‘genre’ filter tag search covers a broad range of production styles and sound palettes. Each page contains a description of each track. You may have previewed these tracks before; there’s no way to know. You may have even bought some. You think about printing your catalogue for future reference. If only you were looking for a specific track by a specific artist. But sadly you’re not. You don’t have time to filter the search any more.
In the end, you didn’t even listen to the track’s sample. Or add it to your cart, where tracks from your last search still loiter. Did you like those tracks? Or did you put them there for a special reason that you’ve now forgotten? If you’d had hours, you would’ve still run out of time. And probably lost the will to live.
So try this.
- Create a profile using keywords to combine production techniques, sound palettes and instruments with genre, label and artists
- Use your unique profile every time your return to discover any new tracks added to the catalogue matching your preferences
- With one click, add all the new tracks – which you can filter with ease – to your ‘stack’ (a working list of tracks) and check one line of description to see whether you’ve previewed or purchased before (or choose to not even see them!)
- Pick a track from your stack and listen to it all, while reading its details and seeing related tracks that you may like
- Give the track a rating – ‘hot’ or ‘maybe’
Five steps. A couple of minutes. You’ve found your track. After half and hour, you’ve discovered over 120 must-haves. You’ve added 30 to buy now and seen your discount. And the best thing? When you come back, you can pick up where you left off. Right now though, it’s time to savour the music.
Creating a profile and a stack of tracks is just the beginning. With every piece of feedback, we’re developing TrackStack into the service our users want. Tell us your next thought about profiles and the ‘stack’ by joining the discussions in Facebook.
