07.21.17 | Great, now I have to learn how to use another site.
I still don't know how to use RYM... |
theBoneyKing
07.21.17 | Yeah this new interface has a lot going on, it'll take some time to get used to. |

07.21.17 | Cool! is it still going to be a nonsense? |
EphemeralEternity
07.21.17 | lot of flaws but loooooooots of potential (to dethrone sput too when they add the review section in the full version) |

07.21.17 | The mobile seems to suck. I'll stick to sput |

07.21.17 | Ephemeral, the reviews won't make much of a difference, RYM already has reviews but they're very different from what you have on Sput. The reviews here are much more professional, both in the style they're written and how they look on the page.
The new mobile interface is fine, much better than their old one (which I've gotten used to anyways; you've prob gotten used to it but using Sput on mobile is terrible).
I've said it before and I'll say it again, much as I love Sput the charts and database system here, while functional, are virtually useless once you get to know RYM's - and that was before the update. Their community has nothing on Sput's though, so it's not redundant to use both; many users here (myself included) maintain active RYM accounts too. |

07.22.17 | Nice to see this. I was wondering what happened to Sonemic. It looks good. Now to see if I can figure it all out... |

07.22.17 | What are the best new features? Does it show scrobbles now? Seems to have a new category of 'song you've played at least once' or something like that :/ |
EphemeralEternity
07.22.17 | there are lots of different classification variables for your music collection - in terms of atmosphere, mood, lyrics, label, technique etc (all kinda superfluous) . You can rate and search by individual songs too.
You're prob right about the reviews i was being hyperbolic, don't want to rule it out completely though. Should be better than the current glorified soundoff system they have at the moment though |
TwigTW
07.22.17 | No scrobbling yet, Doofus. They didn't reach the fundraising goal to implement it--maybe next time. |
theBoneyKing
07.22.17 | The biggest thing for me aside from the revamped look of the site is the expanded chart capabilities - for example I've always wanted to be able to search by secondary genre, and it's neat to be able to search by descriptor now too. |

07.22.17 | Interesting. My RyM account is a bit dusty now but I am curious about that update. |
RadicalEd
07.22.17 | I like that they're taking their time with development, they seem to be commited to getting out a polished RYM 2.0. |
theBoneyKing
07.22.17 | Yeah apparently they've been working on this for years and it still seems like it's a good ways away still but this beta is a big milestone. |
Dewinged
07.22.17 | Really digging the design, especially on your collectio, ratings, wishlist, etc. Thanks for the heads up Boney. |
