Hello everyone,
It feels good to bring you a fresh round of updates to the site. A little while back I ran a survey on our social channels asking whether you’d want to get notified when your favorite artists release something new. The response was pretty clear, most of you said yes, and quite a few even asked for it directly.
So for the past few weeks I’ve been laying the groundwork to make that happen. It took a bit of behind-the-scenes work, but it’s finally ready.
Email notifications are now live, along with a small but important change to how things work on the site.
“Liking” an artist is now “Becoming a Fan”
Up until now, you could like artists, albums, and tracks. That stays the same for albums and tracks, but the artist part is getting an upgrade. From today on, when you become a fan of an artist, you’ll automatically receive updates about their new releases and other important activity. It’s a simple change, but it opens the door to a more personal connection with the music you care about.
More features built on top of this will follow soon. For now, I hope you enjoy the new system and feel even more in touch with the artists you follow.
