Announcement

Dear WatZatSong Community,

We hope this message finds you well.

First and foremost, we want to express our deepest gratitude for your unwavering support and dedication to WatZatSong.com. It's been an incredible journey, filled with countless moments of musical discovery and camaraderie. Your contributions to our community have been nothing short of extraordinary.

Now, we know it's been a while since we last gave our beloved website a fresh coat of paint. Eighteen years, to be exact. And we hear you – it's time for a change. That's why we're excited to announce that we're rolling up our sleeves and diving headfirst into a full-scale revamp of WatZatSong.com!

What does this mean for you? Well, get ready for a sleek, modern redesign that's as easy on the eyes as it is intuitive to navigate. We're cooking up some exciting new features that will take your song-naming adventures to new heights. And rest assured, we're not just focusing on looks – our team is hard at work behind the scenes to ensure that everything runs smoother and faster than ever before.

But here's the best part: none of this would be possible without you. Your passion for music is what drives us forward, and your feedback is what keeps us grounded. We want to hear from you every step of the way – What do you love about WatZatSong? What could we do better? Email us at [email protected] anytime. Consider this revamp as much yours as it is ours.

While we're eager to bring these changes to life, we want to be transparent: this process may take quite some time. So, we kindly ask for your understanding and patience.

Thank you again for being a part of our community. Here's to many more years of music discovery and friendship!

Warm regards,
WatZatSong Team

This is not a big issue, but on the recent activities page, there is a duplicate link to "Home".

Another idea: Maybe we could have tags? Requestors could tag their samples, and then users could browse them by choosing combinations of several tags.

e.g.:
#80s #synthpop #new wave
#10s #kpop #boy band
#1975 #acoustic #female vocals


It's useful because of the infinite number of oddly specific genres and subgenres, and things that aren't genres but help narrow down, and make it easier for people who have better knowledge/preference for certain things (e.g. male/female vocals, fast paced; even moods, like cheerful, dark, etc.).

Great Idea! Will add it to the list.

We will be changing the genres as well.

A quick pick from today's changes:
1. Users can now add an YouTube link to their proposals. Youtube link is displayed in each video that has the link, as well as the recognized ones
2. For better accuracy, when recognized, we first look at the user suggested link and we pull the video based on it. If there is no link, we pull the info from YouTube
3. After the track is recognized, we now pull the video from YouTube instead of DailyMotion
4. If for some reason, the suggested video is wrong, the post owner, the person who suggested the video and moderators can edit it by using the "Not the right video? Edit it." link above each video. This option is also available for old videos.
