I've been working on a new music page that consolidates all my album tracks, demos, live tracks and other stuff into one big streaming pile o' tunes. There's a beta version up now for you to play with. It works best in Firefox and Safari -- there are a few layout bugs in IE8 which I intend to fix later.
My twin goals here are to 1) help new visitors better discover all the crazy stuff I have available, and 2) more quickly find the stuff they'd like the most. Plus: bigger buttons!
Your thoughts are of course appreciated. Is this useful? Am I on the right path? Gotta be a few opinionated webdev folks out there still reading this site...
Some technical notes after the jump, if you care. Otherwise, have at it!
The Technical Notes After The Jump
I built this using Scott Schiller's excellent SoundManager2 audio library which has an excellent JavaScript API and really does use HTML5 audio where the browser (ahem, Safari) supports it.
I used jQuery for the sorting panel controls. With the exception of the tiny Flash component used by SM2, everything else is done with good ol' HTML, CSS2/3 and JavaScript.
TODOS:
- fix the IE8 layout stuff, ugh
- add missing demos and tracks from Look Back On This And Laugh.
- add links to lyrics back in somehow
