Now, along with Flotza, we have Appza, which is a warehouse for apps in iOS land.  With recent apps, popular apps filtered by genre, you can find apps.  Nifty!

Check it out! We now have all the iTunes charts integrated into the site. You can get the top 100 songs, albums, iMixes, new releases, just added and exclusives all at Art of the Mix. And, you can filter by category. Sweet!

Check out Flotza, our sister site that hosts all the video content from iTunes. Like AOTM, Flotza syncs with the iTunes datastore nightly, so all the latest greatest video content is available to be perused.

Here's another interesting paper written using AOTM data to create better playlist algorithms: http://ismir2011.ismir.net/papers/PS4-11.pdf

Check out this paper that uses Art of the Mix data as its foundation.

argh -- got hit by christian spammers -- hopefully have dealt with the issue

For example, I just changed the way avatars work on the site. The site used to display these default avatars if you didn't set one from your profile or have one associated with your email via gravatar. I always thought that looked ugly. Just figured out a way so that no avatar shows if you don't have one.

You may notice some changes here and there as I have some time this summer to give the site some love. Let me know if there's anything you are clamoring for!

Try out http://artofthemix.org/buzz.aspx -- it is a great new resource on the site for finding the latest news and mp3s about the artists and bands you love.

I've now added the friend feature, so you can friend different members of AOTM.  When you add a friend, they appear on your profile page.
