good suggestions, chris -- and what you describe is indeed the general plan... i think Sound Index is undergoing a public value trial, tho, so its fate is not absolutely clear.
i agree that it has fantastic potential, tho, and is headed in the right direction... best-- --cs -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of Chris Jackson Sent: Wed 5/21/2008 4:57 PM To: backstage@lists.bbc.co.uk Subject: Re: [backstage] Soundindex 2008/5/20 Peter Bowyer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > This has to be a target for Backstage.... ???? > > http://uk.techcrunch.com/2008/05/20/bbcs-sound-index-is-good-but-we-wont-get-the-data/ Really good to see the BBC producing interesting aggregations of activity on the web. However, it is a shame that Soundindex it is not integrated with the excellent pages driven by musicbrainz under http://www.bbc.co.uk/music/ The /music/ site does a great job of indexing the many places across the BBC where an artist is featured, as well as reviews and samples etc. Soundindex offers no path to all that good stuff. For example, compare content on the The Ting Tings pages: http://www.bbc.co.uk/music/artist/fmbd/ vs. http://www.bbc.co.uk/soundindex/profiles/artist/?id=811 Maybe an RSS hack could take the Soundindex ordering, but link back to the /music page, joining on a suitable 3rd party URL?
