Groups

Groups are small collections of music put together by our users which attempt to capture a particular scene, image, feeling or taste in 5 items or less. This is, essentially, one of those 'desert island CDs' lists, but in user-generated categories.

I'll be trying to think of something to put together for a group. I'm thinking I'll make a group where all the songs are from my favorite artist and the different songs will point to a certain mood or have some kind of point. Something either links all of them or shows the depth of subject matter as far as lyrics go.

yes, this tool needs a bit of touching up yet. It's got potential, but it's kind of clunky still. For some reason, it only remembers 4, not 5, things.

I was wondering if there was a small limit on the number of songs. 4 isn't a lot. I was thinking about doing some with a lot more. Does this take up a lot of space or something?

Naa -- just didn't want to bother making another table. laziness, really. But, if it's going to be an interesting thing to do, then I'll expand the functionality.

Creating "Groups" seems to require Level 3, but I'll be there soon enough ;)

Oh yeah, I've also been waiting until I can make a group that's more than for songs. Has that been changed? I was thinking along the lines of an album compilation of your own making (like 10-12 songs).

Has that changed at all? I noticed on the 9th you say nothing has changed but I would love to come up with a group of more than 4 things. I have so many ideas I don't even know where to begin. At least I think I have ideas. Man, I need to sort myself out.

I'm gonna give this a shot sometime soon if the number has changed. I want to make a compilation or something. I'm thinking about Screeching Weasel guides in which one of the groups is all their humorous while another is their profound songs, etc. That would be awesome. I'll try to create groups using music from other bands too, of course. I think I want to make my own drinking one, I just need it to be longer. In fact, maybe music most often played from the the jukebox of my favorite pub.

I think I was waiting until you could make larger groups. Last I checked, if you wanted to make a compilation of sorts, you could only choose like 4 or so songs.

I'm dying to use this part of the site. Can we have more than 4 songs now? I could sit down and do a few, probably.

I should rewrite that to make use of the tags, i think, yeh. Maybe if you go and tag a bunch of stuff, then on that 'groups' page, you simply name the tag from which it should create the group.

Eh?

So you mean we should purposely tag the songs with something really unique in order to get them all together? I'm just making sure we're on the same page here. I'm down for that if that's what you're saying.

Yeah, I think if you tag a few songs with "Fornication Songs", then I can modify that groups tool so that instead of choosing artists/albums/tracks, you simply name the tag, and it slurps in all those artists/albums/tracks...

But it will just do an individual song if you tag that individual song. Right?

If you want it to, sure. I'll build the group out of the tag so whatever's in the tag will be the group...
