New versions of Jamendo in German, Italian, Spanish and Polish

A few weeks after the launch of our Orange version of jamendo in French and English, we now have turned the German, Italian, Spanish and Polish versions of jamendo from Blue to Orange.
With this new release, a lot of features have been enhanced. The Music Player is quicker and offers a selection of your favorite albums and playlists. We also have a new Home Page for logged users on which they can find a News Feed with for instance the latest albums released by their favorite artists and recommendations from their friends.

So, we decided to cut-off the existing Blue version and to maintain only the 6 languages. We know that some of you would have preferred to keep their access to the blue version but it would be very time-consuming for our technical team to support two versions. We prefer to focus on the programming on new features and the integration of new languages: Russian and Portuguese should be available before the end of February.

One of the main new features of Orange is the straight “http” download of any track or album. This feature is really popular, every day thousands of files are downloaded from jamendo.

From now, you can discover 7000 albums on jamendo, enjoy them for free anytime, anywhere and share them with your friends !

    If you subtract the number of features that blue had, but now are gone, from the amount of new features in orange, you would end up with a negative number…

    If you really care about us users, at least give an explanation as to why so many features that were so incredibly useful disappeared.

    I am deeply disappointed :(

    And I’m one of this persons :)

    Anyway:
    1. What happened with m3u playlist with streams? I can’t find them in new layout. I get only some useless (I don’t have flash installed on my “main” browser) web, flash-based player…
    2. How to turn off popups with that player? I got them on every single page.

    azhag: you can still generate m3u playlists and a lot of other information collections by using the Jamendo API (http://developer.jamendo.com/en/wiki/MusiclistApi_draft#).

    This method of generating playlists is very cumbersome to do by hand, but at least you can do it. I much preferred the automated generation blue could do..

    Once you get the hang of it, it’s really easy to develop with, so I can for my life not understand why orange doesn’t support this more..

    By the way, this blogpost is not visible to users from those countries unless they got the funny idea to click on the union jack. You are diverting too much, why on earth make this blog multi-lingual (redirect automatically) and thus prevent tech-illerate users from getting infos?

    New web design Is much cleaner than previous, I like it, but orange and violet are not my favourite colours. I suggest adding possibility of changing only colours to predefined schemes (see coloured squares on the top-right corner of the http://beta.pl.msn.com/ page, or list below logo at http://www.dobreprogramy.pl, it gives a chance to change only colours, not all page…)

    I like a lot new player, it plays fast and does not make any problems.
    I do not know why, but latest design is parallel with that from swistak.pl, may it be the colours…

    Good work, keep it doing, recently I have not much time for Jamendo, but I almost love this place in the Internet, it’s idea and possibilities are
    I appreciate Your hard work, and I wish you Good Luck, and next 7 thousands of Albums;)

    For all you people complaining about lack of m3u’s playlists:

    All you have to do is right click on “Listen” button (on album page, of course) and select “Save target as…”. And then just save your m3u playlist somewhere on the hard disk :) .

    Hey.. Where is the portuguese translation? This was promised since January/2008 but until now.. NOTHING! They said me: “we are porting the translation and we have contract a professional translator for ths” . Uhhh.. I think this “professional translator” is very slower than community translators!!

    On this way, the portuguese community is shrinking or just isn’t growing how it could if the portuguese release was available.

    :(
