Ready to implement

Go ahead and drop the new HOURS on to your sites today by 5pm -- If you're running an old hours you will NEED TO REPLACE it with the new one by 5pm Today (only applies to the 7 soft launch stations).

To pull the new hours, simply IFRAME the following URL:

http://www.tunegenie.com/hours/[CALLSIGN]

So for example the 7 soft launch stations:

http://www.tunegenie.com/hours/wrdw/
http://www.tunegenie.com/hours/wlwk/
http://www.tunegenie.com/hours/wgrf/
http://www.tunegenie.com/hours/wkdf/
http://www.tunegenie.com/hours/kxxr/
http://www.tunegenie.com/hours/wdrv/
http://www.tunegenie.com/hours/whqg/

So the code for WRDW would look like:

<iframe name="store" frameborder="0" align="top,left" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" width="234" height="340" src="http://www.tunegenie.com/hours/wrdw/"></iframe>

Make sure to replace your old hours by around 5PM EST today -- that's when your old hours will stop working.

Thanks.

Preview Release -- Check out your LINKS

Hi All,

We are ready to get some feedback from you all -- and are gearing up to soft launch you guys on to our new platform. Take a look at your links below. Let's use this Blog Post as a forum -- please comment here with any suggestions and let us know if you find bugs. With bugs, please include the Web Address (URL) for where you encountered the bug.

Known Issues:

1. Cover Art -- tonight you may or may not see cover art, this is due to an issue with some of our servers, not all of them have the latest configs, this will be cured by tomorrow morning.
2. Top Hits -- the "Top Hits" list will not start generating until we have officially "soft launched" -- in any case, the page will be very similar to the "On Air Playlist" page.
3. Missing/Strange Data issues -- if you find strange albums or missing tracks, please report the URLs as you find them.
4. Cosmetic issues -- we're working through tweaking various things to improve usability -- feel free to make your own suggestions as well. Note: we have a number of UI fixes that we will be rolling out shortly.
5. Speed -- you may notice that the "Related Artists" and other things are "slow" to load at times -- They will speed up in the next two days.
6. Internet Explorer -- we know there are many issues with the IE6 Browser and some with IE7 -- we will be working to track those down during the soft launch period. Internet Explorer requires extra special care to be happy because it's a bit behind the times when it comes to browser technology.

M2G Music Discvoery Platform Blog Welcome

Hi all welcome to the MusicToGo  music discovery platform blog.   The initial launch of the 2.0 platform begins today (1-27-09)   the following stations are the initial soft launch stations

1. WRDW    Philadelphia
2. WDRV     Chicago  (will be one day after)
3. WKDF     Nashville
4. WGRF     Buffalo
5. WLWK     Milwaukee
6. KXXR      Minneapolis

We created this blog to form a testing and suggestion community for the new platform (M2G-2.0).   As each of you know this is a soft lunch of the beta 2.0.   We believe we have addressed the major issues to the point that the platform should be ready for you to post live on your sites.   We would like you to play with the platform today as much as possible and tomorrow post the platform live on your sites.   We definitely want to be live for the weekend

We will follow up with a post and emails on how to post the the platform live, and also we will post know issues.   That's the game plan.   Thanks to everyone involved and please post comments!
