Dear ladies and gentlemen of ACR, we are very much bang in the middle of moving from the UK to Germany so not around much. A sea of boxes and organised chaos in varying stages of finalisation. New business property secured. Nearly everyone who is going has a new home sorted, some of us have already moved and muggins here is trying to fix the remaining UK stuff. Hoping that by mid-October everything will be starting to return to whatever might be considered the new normal. Smoke us a kipper and best wishes to all.

Hope it all goes really smoothly, Wud. While we are going to miss you here in the UK, I`m sure that you aren`t going to be strangers, and we`ll be able to catch you here and thereabouts.

Guten Tag! Happy trails & smooth sorting! Here`s to leaving nothing (important) behind, and refinding it when needed.

This is a great help, Thanks! Spotify takes a little more figuring out, and your page really highlights needed details. Nicely done.

Hey John. I`m not sure I like the new way, when you top up your credit, is working for me. You gotta hit the button, wait to confirm each time now and your new credit doesn`t show until you hit update, so if your loading up on credit you gotta count in your head how much credit has gone on to each track. Just a thought Bro. I liked the other way.

the "Show Embedded Players" checkbox helps a fast load when needed and a trackname when wanted. Very helpful addition!

Good idea about the "don`t show this again".

The whole credit update thing will be revamped as soon as I can find the will to work out the javascript code to do it!

We have had a few donations in recently so I may be able to pay someone to code this for me, which will speed things up!

I am not the biggest fan either.

Perhaps we can set, somewhere, a total number of credits we`d like to start with and then our total can be topped off to that amount on each track and every time it falls below that number. Or would that not be technically possible?

I agree with irishjohn. This way takes longer and needs a lot of mouse moving to slightly speed it up. I also like how you knew when credits were used up before. I don`t want to go back to page reload every credit add tho, with the SC waveforms taking forever to load. Getting rid of the "Credits Updated` pop-up with a "don`t show this message again` checkbox would really help.

Interesting. I have also had a lot of comments about how people really like the change especially if you have a lot of tracks as you don`t have to scroll down to find each track.

I`ll have a think and see if there is another way to do it.

I know it can be done so that the credits update on the main screen without having to refresh but it`s beyond my capabilities at the moment.

Let me have s chew on it.

I agree. I found this super confusing and actually thought the feature for allocating credits was broken for the past few days. I was just coming here to ask if anyone else was experiencing the same problem and your post finally made me realize what was happening.

I hope you wanna do this for me, especially if the song really is appealing to you. Let me know, so I can thank you for voting :) Below is the link:

Where you able to refer to me when you were signing in by the way? Just wondering, because you earn extra `karma points` as will you when you invite someone who is new. Cheers!

You can now add tracks from FanBurst.

It`s definitely worth importing your SoundCloud catalogue to even if you do nothing else. I just checked and "The Beautiful Ones" is number 3 when you explore "rock" and has had over 800 plays. All I did was import my tracks!

Great. Seems crazy not to really. A quick import of your SoundCloud tracks and you have the potential for more plays for nothing! :-)

Great video Christian. If you want lots of people watching it make sure you watch some videos and listen to music from other sources on here so you can keep it in credit.

Although I do like the attention given to the new My Details the whole thing takes up way too much screen real estate and I have a big screen so I can only imagine what folks looking on a laptop size screen would see (or wouldn`t.)
And good luck on the move! And remember>Label those boxes l,l,l

My Details: visually & organizationally a great update - being able to see the song title is sweet. That was on my wishlist.
But now it takes forever to load the page, probably because it references the actual SC track. Can it be pared back to just the song image? I like the waveform on the listen page, but don’t need it here.
Updating credits is a bit more clunky. I like how it used to immediately show the new credit tally. The only drawback was how it scrolled to the top of the page (reloaded) with each credit add. Now I just have to mentally keep track of which ones I’ve changed and wait for the pop-up to disappear, or keep my mouse moving to make it go away. So now adding credits is slower. Be nice if the pop-up had a choice of “I get it - don’t show again”.

I like the fact that you can see which track you are topping up or deleting. Makes life easier

What do others think? In terms if width it will fit on even fairly low resolutions. It`s just the length of the page.

Personally I don`t mind scrolling through once a day and updating my credits, especially as the screen doesn`t refresh every time you do it now.

Thoughts please?
