Just completed the new KCRW tracklist system. Instead of the old (and outdated) table based static system, KCRW.com now has an auto-updating tracklist complete with AJAX effects, integrated ads, RSS feeds, etc…
NEW FEATURES User Experience: A significantly improved user experience through better design and functionality.
Search: Unlike our previous playlists these pages are fully searchable with data going back to 2006. Want so search by artist, song, label, channel, host, date you can do it.
Sharing: Track lists for specific shows and custom searches can now be bookmarked on your browser or shared with friends on Facebook, MySpace, etc.
MP3 Ecom: Auto search Amazon and iTunes with “buy now” links
Also: DJ Comments, Band members (when there is a live performance), and advertisement support (two banner sizes that mirror the KCRW media player for consistency)
I created the design in-house and outsourced the html/css production. The application was programmed by two independent developers. Project managed in Basecamp.
UPDATE: It seems even with pinging Feedburner their RSS feed is still only updated at 30min intervals. Looking into a locally hosted/cached way of offering a feed. I’m also working on updating the usablility based on the feedback the KCRW interactive team has been getting.
This website uses IntenseDebate comments, but they are not currently loaded because either your browser doesn't support JavaScript, or they didn't load fast enough.
