- Keep track of your albums and wishlist, sort them by band, year, rating or purchase date
- Keep track of release dates of albums in your wishlist
- See the albums you haven't yet voted for and do it very conveniently right on the Collection page
- Show your collection to other users and see their collections
And coming after we have enough entries:
- We will analyze your favorite bands, album collection, ratings and try to find users with similar tastes and maybe make some suggestions about other bands or albums you might find interesting
- Our own charts will show how many people own an album and which albums are currently 'hot'
We are also open to any suggestions about additional features/uses of Album collection.
You can add albums from your Collection page, as well as using the 3 new buttons under album images:
- I have it! means just that - that you already own the album
- Just got it recently - means that you've acquired this album within the last few days - this will add the album with the purchase date set to current day. Mainly for the charts, but you might also find it useful.
- Add to my wishlist - add the album to your wishlist
Another way to add albums is the albums list. You can filter the albums there in any way you want and then add them one by one using the buttons.
Have fun!

Written by iaberis on 24.09.2007 at 12:02 There should be an option to specify that commas should be used as separators. I can't tell you where since I'm using OpenOffice and it's asking me just after the file is loaded.

Written by wrathchild on 25.09.2007 at 22:50 Well, I thought so too, but I didn't find any option for that, although I'm sure there is one...

Just to point out that there is a bug if I go to someone's tradelist and then select a specific Band name in the top-right

Update: - Neighbours The script is really heavy, so Neighbours have to be updated manually - though it's just one click

Nice, but I do have a question. How does it work exactly? I see Marcel is my 'top' neighbour, and he has the number 1016 behind his name. What does this mean? It is not remotely near to Collection, Wishlist, Postnumber or anything I can think of. I suppose it is some sort of matching rating/scale, but a bit of explanation could help.

Written by Ivan on 28.09.2007 at 21:06 it's a good feature, but I think it might need a bit of tweaking - the person number one on mine has no favourite bands in his profile that I have in mine.. no similar favourite bands at all

Written by Baz Anderson on 28.09.2007 at 21:15 But he has a huge amount of the same bands/albums you have in your collection. Of course, I can drop the whole complicated scheme and just take into account favorite bands?

Written by Ivan on 28.09.2007 at 21:20 haha, well there's no need to drop the whole thing if you've spent so much time on it - just emphasise the favourite bands in the profiles a bit more, so the people that do have more favourite bands in their profiles have more neighbourly points

So... how exactly do the similarity numbers add up? So far I figured out you get a hundred for every favorite band, but I lost the pattern from there. Any helpful math wizards around?

Written by Graveheart on 29.09.2007 at 04:12 OK, here's the exact breakdown: --- Same album in collection: +1 Same band in collection: +3 Same non-featured band in collection: +5 Same album rating: +2 Album rating is different by 1: +1 Album rating is different by more that 1: -3 Same favorite band: +100 --- I'm still tweaking the numbers trying to find a better combination. It will probably work better after more people have filled their album collections...

That's the problem with people who don't identify their favourite bands, dammit!  Ivan do you think you could put a filter on so it only shows people last seen up to like 30 or 50 days ago? I might have just come across a bug where "Update neighbours" doesn't take into account the new point values, but I could be wrong

Actually my point was so you could befriend and talk with the "neighbours" but I just realized the real purpose, at least on last.fm, is to find new bands you might like... still I don't see how posts or comm points have anything to do with it

Update: - Album charts (in the main menu) - You can now see how many people own/want the album on album details page - You can also see who exactly owns/wants the album on rating details page (click on album rating or the number of owners)

Written by Ivan on 29.09.2007 at 17:39 Nice addition, but now, once again, I can see people with unreleased albums in their collection... Can you put a limitation in that, to add only albums that have been released?

Written by iaberis on 29.09.2007 at 21:26 Remember there is sometimes an option of pre-ordering, especially for special edition release. Say Ulver's newest, for example.

Written by iaberis on 29.09.2007 at 23:06 True, but it depends on how you interpret 'aqcuired'. Oh well, I don't really care.

I usually put the "I got it" option, when I get my album in my hands. Not when I order it. When I receive it...

Yes, so do I. I am just saying, some people don't..

Written by iaberis on 29.09.2007 at 21:26 OK, I removed the 'Got it' buttons from the unreleased albums - however, people can still add them manually, there's nothing I can do about it. I can't imagine why anyone would want an album they don't have listed in their collection anyway...

Written by iaberis on 29.09.2007 at 21:26 Actually sometimes you can get it before the official date. I tried that with the latest Wuthering Heights...I found it in a local store 4 days before the official release date!

Written by GT on 01.10.2007 at 14:38 Then as Ivan said, you can add it manually with the date of purchase.

@iaberis: yeah that's always a possibility...well I don't really care. If people want to add non-released albums to their list it's their problem

Is there a way to browse the CDs that are available in other users tradelists, instead of going to each member's tradelist at a time or each CD page at a time?
