Comment on Metacritic album reviews make it to Spotiseek by Olle

Great, like it. As you say, metacritic.com is a great site to find reviews and get an general idea off the an album.

Your colourtagging off the scores doesn’t match those off metacritic.com, this intetional or just a misstake?
metacritics.com tagging (from http://www.metacritic.com/about/scoring.shtml )
Universal Acclaim (Green) 81-100
Generally Favorable Reviews (Green) 61-80
Mixed or Average Reviews (Yellow) 40-60
Generally Unfavorable Reviews (Red) 20-39
Overwhelming Dislike (Red) 0-19

Another great site with the genarally same idea is http://www.kritiker.se/ It collects reviews from swedish media, so understanding Swedish does help, but I guess you can get the grasp off an album even if you can’t.

Hi Rob,

I’ve added an option to copy and paste a text into your Spotify Play queue (or a playlist) if the drag-and-drop doesn’t work.
Hope that sorts it out!

Great idea.

How do you drag and drop on Mac? Not working for me on Safari or FF.

Hi, thank’s for a great site and service. I waited for something like this to show up. The most interesting with Spotiseek is the integration with last.fm api. And we all know why we use last.fm, yes, because of the fabulous suggestions of new band/artists! My suggestion for Spotiseek is to implement a feature that make it possible for me to get the same suggestions last.fm gives me when I’m logged in on last.fm. The suggestions that Spotify shows is really bad and can’t be compared to the ones that last.fm gives.

Hi Daniel,
Try clearing the cache on your home computer and search again. Could be a caching issue remaining from yesterday, when I didn’t have proper error handling implemented.

(I get 16+ results when searching Scritti Politti.)

How come I get alot of tracks when I search for “Scritti Politti” on my work proxy with IE, but only three tracks on my home computer with Chrome?

Yes, that does sound very strange… It could be some kind of caching issue, i.e. that your home PC would have some erroneous versions of the tracks cached?
A long shot, but try clearing the cache on the home PC.

What artist did you search for?

Thanks for the feedback!

Bizarrely this site gives different (better/more) mix tapes on my work PC than from my home PC. My work PC doesn’t have spotify on it or the last.fm scrobbler, and the connection goes out through a proxy server, so I don’t know if either last.fm or spotify are doing something based on either my accounts or my location. Very strange.
