Introducing The Facebaker, a revolutionary product. Again.

We have a Facebook app. And as of today it is equipped a noteworthy extension called ‘The Facebaker’.

Use The Facebaker to bake playlists based upon your own and your friends music likes. 

As with all Playlistify’s playlists you can listen to Facebaker generated playlists legally via Spotify and Last.fm. Grooveshark support is on it’s way too. 

Yes we are back, and boy did it cost some.

As you might have read or heard: Playlistify was down for 2 months because of severe harddisk crashes. I’ve written up the whole story on a dedicated page, you can read it here. 

To sum it up: A data recovery rescue performed by professionals finally got us our data back, making the whole ride (2 months downtime) a though learning experience. And a costly one too :( The recovery costed some € 2,180. As the provider is not going to pay for it it is quite a financial effort for me. 

Should you want to express your token of appreciation by means of donating a bit, helping me to cover these costs here is how you can do that:

You can help cover these costs by donating a small amount via Paypal (creditcard supported).

Down for Everyone (not just me)

Unfortunately something, somebody, somewhat ‘f*ckd up’ so Playlistify is currently down. The main server has been fysically moved to another data center and it is not up and reachable. Since I am in California (love it! 26 degrees Celsius!) and not in Amsterdam I can’t drive there myself and currently depend on the caring people over at my hosting company and I hope they fix things soon.

Please stay tuned, follow the twitter @pLaylistify or this blog or try if they have fixed the server yet by simply refreshing http://playlistify.org

Heb jij je Lowlands pLLaylist al gemaakt? #LL10 [dutch]

A dutch post for our dutch followers:

 We lanceerden onlangs de webtool ‘pLLaylist’ welke te vinden is op het speciale Lowlandsblog van nrc.next, waarmee jij als Lowlandsbezoeker je persoonlijke blokkenschema, die je op Lowlands.nl kan maken, in een handomdraai kunnen ‘bakken’ tot een afspeelbare playlist. 


Interactief blokkenschema op Lowlands.nl
Op Lowlands.nl kunnen festivalbezoekers voorafgaand aan het festival het blokkenschema bestuderen. Gebruikers kunnen optredens markeren als favoriet en deze exporteren als kalender-bestand voor diverse softare. Zo kunnen bezoekers de lijst op hun telefoon importeren. Ook komen de artiesten terug op het zogenaamde ‘Llowlife’ profiel van bezoekers, het online community netwerk van Lowlands.

Ruim 80% van de Lowlands muziekprogrammering aanwezig op Spotify
De programmering van Lowlands bestaat naast theater, kunst, mode, films, comedy, literatuur uit veel muziek. Op de in afgelopen mei in Nederland geïntroduceerde van oorsprong Zweedse muziekdienst Spotifyzijn van de 172 Lowlands muziek acts zo’n 142 artiesten en bands met tracks terug te vinden. De playlist webservice Playlistify uit Amsterdam maakt gebruik van deze Spotify catalogus voor de ‘pLLaylist’-tool.

De persoonlijke ‘pLLaylist’ is een lijst met muziek van favoriete artiesten
Via de tool welke te vinden is op http://nrcnext.playlistify.org kunnen Lowlands bezoekers hun gebruikersnaam van Lowlands.nl (hun ‘Llowlife’) invoeren. De tool haalt vervolgens de lijst met favoriete artiesten van de gebruiker op en zoekt op Spotify van alle artiesten een aantal willekeurige tracks. Tezamen vormen deze de ‘pLLaylist’.

De ‘pLLaylist’ is direct afspeelbaar via Spotify en Last.fm
Via de tool kan de playlist direct worden geopend in Spotify. Spotify voorziet in cd-kwaliteit audiostream welke gebruikers, afhankelijk van het type abonnement, ook offline via hun computer, Android toestel of iPhone kunnen afspelen. Via Playlistify zelf kunnen gebruikers de playlist ook toevoegen aan de Britse muziekdienst Last.fm die abonnees ook de mogelijkheid biedt de playlist af te spelen. Via Amazon kunnen de tracks ook worden gekocht.

De ‘pLLaylist’ is eenvoudig te delen via sociale netwerken of blog/site
Met een enkele klik kunnen gebruikers de ‘pLLaylist’ doorplaatsen als interactieve widget op Hyves of eigen blogs en sites. Ook kan de ‘pLLaylist’ worden toegevoegd aan profielpagina’s op Facebook. Daarmee komen andere vrienden die ook naar Lowlands gaan ook direct in de stemming.

Maak hier je eigen pLLaylist!

Play (all) our playlists on Last.fm!

Playlistify wants to become your number 1 playlist hub. That means we want to add as many import and export options for your playlist. We already have 10 import options. And we offer to export playlists into Spotify, Youtube, Embed widget, Facebook app….. 

Read more below the lovvvvv:

Today we’ve added a new export option: the possibility to export any playlist from the Playlistify Directory to your Last.fm library. Which is a cool thing because than you can use Last.fm to play the playlist in High Quality. There is one catch though. In order to actually play the playlist through Last.fm, you have to be a Last.fm subscriber, which I recommend you to be any how. Furthermore the playlist should contain at least 45 playable tracks from 15 different artists.

So,… How to add them epic playlists to your Last.fm library for play & explore purposes? 

Well, just click the new ‘Open in Last.fm’ button you can find on any playlist page, which will open a new window to guide you through the 2-clicks process of authorizing and adding the playlist!

Feeds, feeds, feeds! Follow your favourite artist or tag(s)

Last week I’ve implemented some RSS feeds for you. From now on it is very easy to follow an artist you like or tag you like. Every time a new playlist is uploaded with that artist or tag, it will appear in the feed. (By the way, if you don’t know what feeds are, check out this video) Just click the button you see at dedicated artist- or tag-pages:

Subscribe to the RSS-feed(s) in your favourite feedreader, iGoogle, Netvibes, make a widget out of it, whatever. Heck, you can even make a Twitterfeed bot out of it!

Happy Baking, Sharing & Discovering!
