Wow fun story! Erez had sent me a few more questions that I didn't reply to in time for this post, but I am including them below in case anyone is interested:
1) Do you have any plans for a pop-out player, or for streaming m3u files?
We don't currently have plans for a pop-out player, although if
enough people request that feature we will gladly add it to our list
of future development ideas. When you ask about streaming M3U files,
I assume that would be a method of using an external music player
(like VLC or Winamp). We don't actually have plans for that at this
time, but again, we're open to building new features when the
community demands them, so this is certainly something we could end up
doing in the future.
2) Do you have any plans for an embeddable player (so that people could post tracks from Uvumi to their blogs etc)?
We absolutely have plans for an embeddable player! The primary
goal of Uvumi is to help artists promote their work and get heard by
as many potential new fans as possible, and allowing members to embed
playlists and songs from their favorite artists into blogs, websites,
and other communities is a big step in that direction. At this point
we are limited by our existing resources, which is why we have not yet
developed this feature, but it is definitely something to expect from
us in the future.
3) I noticed the page title shows "current page" rather than "currently playing artist", so if I'm in another tab I have to switch to Uvumi to find out who I'm listening to. Is that by design?
It is by design, but you make a very good point that it would be
nice to see the currently playing song in your window title bar. We
built Uvumi with well-known SEO standards in mind, in order to help
artist profiles reach the first page of search results on the major
engines, and page titles are a critical part of that design. However,
we could update the design to support this feature without affecting
our SEO friendliness, so this is another improvement we would like to
make in the future.
4) I've noticed that unlike T61, there's no autoplay. Is that also by design, or will that change?
Uvumi does not auto-play on any page, and that is definitely by
design. We believe that visitors should be in full control of their
experience on Uvumi.com, and when a website auto-plays media upon
arrival, that removes a level of control because it would mean
performing an action without the visitor specifically requesting that
action. I personally feel that auto-play is invasive and annoying,
but again, if this became something that our members requested on a
large scale, we would certainly consider implementing it if we were
convinced it would improve the Uvumi experience.
