06.21.15 | I myself hate all those question marks that randomly appear on reviews that have been around since 2005-2008. Also the userbase is pretty terrible, but they do have some pretty sick music tastes. |

06.21.15 | ^^ah yes, the app. |
MrSirLordGentleman
06.21.15 | I can survive all of that stuff as long as they allow bigger images/gifs as avatars |
Calc
06.21.15 | yeah the site could definitely update a ton. |
Frippertronics
06.21.15 | if they allowed gifs without gimping them, that'd be nice
larger avs? i don't know, do you really want a page to be expanded because of several HUEG avatars? |
LotusFlower
06.21.15 | Well, at least it doesnt look like this anymore: http://sputnikmusic.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/sputnik1.jpg |

06.21.15 | Not HUGE, but around the size of Willie's av would be nice (which is also a gif, damn mods) |

how would you describe kid A era radiohead?
ambient, techno, house, breaks, dubstep, drum and bass, downtempo, garage, idm, house, trance, or grime?
or what about kraftwerk? |

SonofSnow
06.21.15 | Search function definitely needs a face lift. Would make findings OSTs so much easier. |
Ninjask
06.21.15 | while that does certainly work, at least half of the album is electronic in nature. neither art rock nor experimental rock imply electronic at all.

06.21.15 | Does it matter what the most accurate genre for Kid A is on a website with a shitty genre filter? |
BlueSwan
06.21.15 | fuck |
Ninjask
06.21.15 | if it wasn't already completely obvious, my point was that sometimes an album is electronic but doesn't fall under 'ambient, techno, house, breaks, dubstep, drum and bass, downtempo, garage, idm, house, trance, or grime'. |
theBoneyKing
06.21.15 | 3 hard, there are about a billion different metal genres listed and like 5 of most other genres |
MrSirLordGentleman
06.21.15 | Yeah, we know that ninja, however, I don't think it was a very good example since Kid A is probably one of those albums that won't fit in any genre |
LotusFlower
06.21.15 | ^ |
theBoneyKing
06.22.15 | Why doesn't someone just create a genre tag called "Kid A", and the only album in the genre is, of course, Kid A? |
Ninjask
06.22.15 | no, it's art rock+electronic, with some ambient (arguable some idm). that's it. |
YakNips

tbh I honest I think we're easily among the five biggest music sites (with one of them being Rolling Stone which is a magazine, and other one being Allmusic so I don't think it counts either)
I've seen Sputnik as a reliable source in a lot of places |
altertide0
06.22.15 | @Ninjask If I write "Bonzo Dog" it will redirect me to "The Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band" but if I write "Bonzo Dogg" it will show me nothing. More importantly though if I want to go to "Red Krayola and Art & Language" I have to write "Red Krayola and Art &"amp something" Language".
@TheCollectiveFacade anything wrong with my joining date?
@PlatonicMushroom I feel a bit stupid now, haha! Didn't notice that, thanks!
@silentstar Didn't know about that as well, but it seems that most of the discussions it shows me there haven't been of interest to me for quite some time. Would be nice if I could "flag" the topics I want or something. |
Emim
06.22.15 | what a dark time to be alive
tell me how you cope |
altertide0
06.22.15 | Given the amount of feedback (I didn't honestly expect that!) it was inevitable that sooner or later someone would write something in this vein. Don't worry though, I'm alive & well and sputnik is obviously worth it for me or I wouldn't be here but that doesn't mean that there's no room for improvement. |
Emim
06.22.15 | well most of these are minor niggles, and only maaaaaaybe three of them are things that should actually be addressed |
altertide0
06.22.15 | True, my main problems were the first 2 and 7 but a list with only 3 points? Come on, who would have taken it seriously? :D Plus I wanted to share some records with you. |
Emim
06.22.15 | well I appreciate the contribution even if I am a bit more apathetic to the cause. 7 years on this site will do that to you |
DominionMM1
06.22.15 | ugh |
titanslayer
06.22.15 | If they only fixed one problem they should fix the search feature. It would be nice if it still gave you results even if you misspelled something, and it would be nice to search for albums in case you don't know the bands name |

altertide0
06.22.15 | @Artuma Never had an account on rym. How is it different from sputnik? |
Intothepit
06.22.15 | The only thing that rym has over Sputnik at this moment is that you're not making dumb lists like this on their site. |
Artuma
06.22.15 | @altertide rym is good at pretty much everything you complain about here. in every other sense i prefer sput tho |
Tunaboy45
06.22.15 | rym is for people who think they're too good for sputnik |

Valkyrion
06.22.15 | adding releases on rym is a bother and i can't be fucked doing that 90% of the time, I prefer sputnik in that regard
but as far as charts go rym is better. you don't really get to check user lists all the time if you don't actively look for them though |
RadicalEd
06.22.15 | A lot of valid complaints. I'm just glad that the lists got fixed this year.
No emoticons for sputnik though. no. just no. |
RadicalEd
06.22.15 | Also RYM is fine for searching for music, but I don't view it as a community site, even though I know it has community functionality. |
altertide0
06.22.15 | Oh well. I guess I'll stay here so that I don't lose all the precious interaction with users such as Intothepit. |
RadicalEd
06.22.15 | Just leave if you're unsatisfied, don't be a smarmy moron about it. |

06.22.15 | Sorry, I didn't want to sound this way, I don't plan leaving or anything, just wanted to make a funny response to pit, looks like it didn't work though! :) |

06.22.15 | I didn't notice so many things on this site for so long. I have been a user for a few years, but didn't comment much, just rated albums, read articles and reviews and used the charts as a source of new music to check. I barely found 'My Discussions' a few months ago, for better or worse. |

Not to be the devils advocate but isn't electronic music just music made with electronic instruments? Unless you're talking about a specific genre like techno using electronic as a tag makes about as much sense as making guitar a genre. The instrument isn't the genre, the style is |
FlyheadMetal
06.23.15 | each album needs individual genre tags tbh...bergtatt is not an electronic album! |
zaruyache
06.23.15 | but unless we can get Jom a buttload of extra cash to hire more people to fix these things... they probably won't happen for a while (if at all). Does he even get paid for what he does here? I don't even know who the higher-ups are/what they do. |
PlatonicMushroom
06.23.15 | Wasn't [url] in lists possible a few months ago? |
PlatonicMushroom

Also when u try to customize yr profile it ends up like this http://www.sputnikmusic.com/user/Bactus |

cordwainerbird
01.04.21 | these are all good points but i like sputnik because it feels like its been unaffected by late stage capitalist web design |
ieatbabies795
01.04.21 | Yeah i agree
As far as an app goes, that’d be cool but seems unlikely. I think it’s be better to have a mobile compatible website like other websites do |

01.04.21 | "late stage capitalist web design"
ugh, no thanks. god forbid websites have any unique character to them |
