» New Feature Updates & Enhancements

Album Genre Filters: You can now assign genres to albums making filtering albums by genre a new standard feature on your site! Assigning album genres works just like any other metadata field – by editing the album on the site or by using a spreadsheet – and once your albums have assigned genres the new genre filters will instantly appear on your album list page.

We also helped you get started with your album genres! If your albums contained all tracks from the same genre then we already applied that genre to your album as well so there’s no work to do on your end. Your album genre filters should be live and working right now!

The New Genre Page: We recently added a new standard page to all sites — the Genre browsing page. To preview this page simply go to your site and replace the end of the URL after the last “/” with “#!genres” so that it looks like this: yoursite.sourceaudio.com/#!genres . To enable your new Genres page just visit the Tabs tool in your Admin Panel. You’ll see it as a new standard tab that can be added just like tracks, albums, catalogs, labels, artists and composers.

The new genre page simply pulls in all of your site’s genres and displays them in alphabetical order. Give it a shot!

File Delivery Tool Enhancements: We further improved the speed of our new file delivery tool and we added several new delivery agent/partner “presets” including Soundminer, Soundmouse and many more. If you haven’t tried out our fully-integrated, low-cost file delivery tool that allows you to send formatted music and metadata to any of your agents/partners, you should give it a shot! The first 100GB of transfer are free!
