A question about : Major New MSE Website

We're very close to launching a major new website, we've been in development since early in the year and worked hard on it.

It's been out for testing once before and we made massive changes based on the superb feedback - most importantly rather than just 5 years singles and albums it now has 9,000,000 tracks

Please try the

www.tunechecker.com

What we want to know
Do you like it?
Did it find what you wanted?
Were the results clear?
Was it quick?
Does it work intuitively for you?
Would you use it?
Anything else you'd like to see (though prob that'll be after launch)
Would you tell friends?
Anything you don't like?
Any glitches? PLEASE NOTE IF THERES A GLITCH PLEASE TELL US WHAT COMPUTER AND BROWSER YOU ARE USING title=Smile
Pretty much all feedback is welcomed.

What we know needs work

We have a few changes to the design that need doing, a bit of sizing, colour and padding changes - but it's close to the final shape.

The Twitter/Facebook links aren't working
The Music MoneySaving/Other MoneySaving isnt formatted properly yet
Sign up to the email and you'll get an email saying thank you for signing up to Martin's Money Tips not tunechecker - do note if you do sign up for the email then you will be put on the list so click 'stop it' if you don't want it.

Thanks so much for your time.

  • WOW that is a major help just saved a fiver on a Michael Buble album. cheers Martin!!
  • Excellent site, easy to find music tracks, I am sure more techy people than me will have more techy comments, but I could find tracks/albumns quite easily, pricing look straight forward to follow.
  • Thanks Martin,
    This is a brilliant site, easy to find music and cd's and the price comparision is brilliant and so simple to see.
    Yet another brill site from you xx
  • Excellent site. Will be my first port of call. Thanks.
  • Nice site.
    Wouldn't it be good when searching "last 5 years" lists if they came in date order too though?
    It's too easy to get to a place with no basic tunechecker menu because it's in the search results pane ...not seperate, There should be a basic menu always on view so you can get home at least to start over. It's not obvious to click the "tunechecker" to get the menu back. A small dropdown menu in the header wouldn't hurt.
    Could save some people a ton of money judging by the differences in price I've seen playing ..especially parents
    Urgh at the top ten searches right now :rolleyes: almost all Xfactor.

  • Firstly what a great idea!
    Seems to work pretty well but for example the snow patrol CD "Up to Now" Ј6.97 (direct on Tescos mp3 website) comes back as "No price found"?
    Its a few pennies more than the bottom price of Ј6.92 but I would feel more comfortable with them as a supplier for that difference.
    So what Im saying is that the Tesco result although available direct on Tescos webpage, doesnt show in the results.
    ;-)
  • Is the "Listen to sample track" supposed to work yet?
    All it does for me is scroll down the centre frame search box when I click it.
    Firefox 3.5.4 on Ubuntu
    EDIT: Yeh and I can't open the FAQ either
  • Looking good
  • None of the FAQ links work in Opera.
    FAIL.

  • It's pretty good Comes up with music I like (which is not pop music by any stretch of the imagination!). The one thing I would say is that when you click on "sample track", you have to then press play. It took me a few minutes to work that out so maybe the button could be labelled?
  • Thanks for all the feedback!

  • Having problems loading up in standard IE browser.
    I think I would like the MSE wepage logo to look more like the MSE site banner (have a smiling Martin again?) or something as my first thought was it didn't look enough like part of the MSE brand, IYKWIM, more like a possible fake claim of the link to MSE.
  • I'm not keen on the website design. It seems messy to me.
    I've always used www.find-cd.co.uk when searching for music and much prefer the way that is laid out. Although that doesn't have the choice opf places to download from so isn't directly comparable.
  • When/if we buy tracks do we then own them and can copy to cd's and play in car etc?
