All About Jazz Improvements: December 2011

View read count
We're closing out the year with a bang, making several improvements and releasing two new services. If you missed last month's improvements, you can read about them here.

BRAND NEW

On Demand Audio / Audio Player Service

All About Jazz has launched an audio player that allows readers to listen to the music presented at our website. The player, which features tracks uploaded by a musician or their record label, appears on a musician's profile page and on all articles, news announcements, and event listings, associated with a participating musician. Read on...

Musician or record label? Learn more about our audio player service here.

Calendar Feed Reading Service

Attn: venues, festivals, musicians and presenters! If you store your calendar information in a database, you are an XML feed away from sharing it with the entire world through All About Jazz's free calendar syndication service. In addition to your events appearing on several pages at All About Jazz, we'll also push your dates to Jazz Near You (coming soon), other music websites, and out to mobile devices. Learn more...


UPGRADES

Profiles

Code improvements, repositioned content (e.g. your “Contact Me" link) , and quick access to the musician profiles you actively update.

Calendar

We rewrote most of our calendar code, greatly improving our search function and fixing some longstanding bugs like “Brooklyn, OH/Brooklyn, NY."

Birthdays

You can now scroll through our jazz birthdays one day at a time with our new scroll bar.

Comments

You can now update your comments; we created a new page that displays your last 30 comments; and you can view all recent website comment activity here.

Print it!

Printing articles and news pages is now easier than ever and the output will properly align with all printing devices.
