Feedback: Streamsy

[hamheyelliot]

Add a stop button, so I can quickly stop the radio without closing the page.

This will be added along with other updates this afternoon.

The shuffle link doesnt add anything to it though. Perhaps it should shuffle, and then play a random station? Because clicking that, that's what id thought it'd do. As you add more and more stations, perhaps a search function should be considered, as well as a sort alphabetically

There is already alphabetical sorting ready to be included, so if this would interest people I'll add it with this afternoon's updates. I'll certainly consider the search function once we expand the library a little bit more, the shuffle function will stay as it is for now but the randomiser is a great idea when the priorities for improving the site change.

A few notes

- Try changing the logo a bit. Perhaps incorporate a note into the letter. The M would be an easy one:

Show Hide

its not that i dont like the current one, i just thing the note at the end is tagged on

- Perhaps a 'Remember this station' and store it via cookies?

- I still hate the side Feedback button that every site seems to have nowadays.. especially since you have it in the nav too. Perhaps that should link to the uservoice account

- As said, colour should be more neutral. The grooveshark player is in green, so perhaps go with that?

- Nav should be central in the top banner

- Footer colour only goes halfway down.

(this is all in chrome, btw)

Thanks for the heads up on the graphical side, I'll browser test it this evening and fix errors.

As for the logo, I think it's a creative idea, but I really just want the note to be a strong point that shows after the text. The grooveshark player comes in different flavours, but I thought the green worked with purple. I am strongly considering tweaking the colour scheme, so I'll take into consideration everything that has been said so far.

The navigation can't be central because of those that may have small screen resolutions, as it's completely liquid, for example if you resize the browser, the icons fit the screen. The radio player can interfere with the navigation in certain resolutions.

As for the Feedback, I think it's crucial to use a button that stands out at such an early stage. It will be removed in the future when it's past this initial stage

The site now supports direct radio links- such as this one, which will autoplay Galaxy.

It's a great site and i look forward to seeing what happens with it. How are you making revenue btw? It might be worth moving the player down into the radio part, and adding a horizontal banner ad on the top?

It's not for profit at the moment, if our running costs increase then I might have to find a way to include a small source of revenue.

Thanks for all of your suggestions, they're definitely helping me to improve the project and it's always good to hear what you think. Thanks especially

The navigation, inmeant so it's in the middle of the top div vertically, not horizontally.

Oh, I misunderstood- got you now.

Working on these updates now, keep your eyes peeled. (Please don't, it's potentially life damaging and you will lose your vision.)

Is there anyway to style the radio player so it fits in with the site design a bit more?

Yeah, but I don't think it's worth the hassle of having to install Silverlight just yet.

Tbh, I don't think you should make it all complicated with adding styles etc. It's fine as is.

Just make functional changes (and any bug fixes).

@Change radio style; Javascript controls with image buttons..

[Colin-Roberts]

javascript controls dont work anymore i thought..

[MattFr]

This project looks awesome. I could make you a Flash based player and possibly an AIR desktop application if you're interested in some kind of partnership, PM me if you're interested.

Oh, I never knew. Thanks.
