NML iPhone Updae

Hi Folks!

Here are a couple pictures from the latest NML iPhone Beta 'App.

It's important to remember that although the overall layout can, and probably will change a bit, a teaser never hurt anyone!

Access to your NML Playlists (both personal and account/professor created) anytime, anywhere is certainly a feature I am THRILLED about!



We hope to have an ETA on the app availability soon!

Enjoy!

Happy Monday to you all!

Below is a clip from the NBC Nightly News yesterday. Violinist Rachel Barton Pine has an amazing story, and some wonderful playings on the NML. Look for her recordings on the Cedille and Dorian labels!

Enjoy!

Marin Alsop and the BSO Previews their Season

If you're anything like me, the fall season brings with it three things: cooler weather, football and a new symphony season! The BSO and Marin Alsop have a killer season coming up. I may have to fly to Baltimore just for their Shaolin Warriors show or Hollywood: The Epics concert.

They have a great promo video up on their website with Marin Alsop talking about the upcoming season. It's a great video and even mentions the Naxos Music Library!

Friday Subscriber Salute

Happy Friday to you all!

Today, we highlight the folks at The University of Arkansas for all of their awesome guides!

Here's a screenshot of their Naxos Music Library landing page.


Lora Lennertz Jetton, the Performing Arts and Media Librarian at the University has created 2 unique User and Faculty .pdf guides. They are step by step Walk Throughs that include everything from basic navigation to finding and listening to music.

The Faculty guide gives a wonderful and easy to follow set of instructions for creating and sharing the professor generated playlists. Both guides also give great screenshots and offer information on how to get in touch with the "powers that be".

Head over to their page to see the guides for yourself!

Many thanks to Lora Lennertz Jetton, and the staff at the University of Arkansas!

Enjoy the Weekend!

New Playlist Window!

It's that time of year!

Back to School, New Orchestra Season Preparations beginning...

We've made some great changes and enhancements to our Playlist window! In addition to the UI (User Interface- Here's my computer geek coming out) changes, we've also added some great new features. Below you can see some screen shots, explanations, and general information!





Here's a "Bubbled Out" version of the new interface. The main new feature here, are Playlist folders. Each professor/librarian/music director can now have their own folder(s) for members to locate the playlists quickly!

We've also updated the playlist control features to support the addition of folders. "Move Playlist" is an example!

Student and Individual Playlists!

Ever have that perfect album playing, and get frustrated you're unable to save it to a playlist?

Not anymore! All members of subscribing institutions (Orchestra's Included!) will have the ability to create and save their own set of playlists!



Here's the window that members will need to fill out.










* Naxos will NEVER sell, rent, or otherwise distribute your e-mail address to a third party*


E-mail in today's world, is simply the easiest way to retrieve and store member profiles!

Once logged in, members will be able to add, edit, and delete tracks from their individual playlists, all while having full access to the account playlists. Indeed, the NML is becoming the destination for classical music lovers of all walks of life!

Adding Directly to Account Playlists!

Some people know exactly what I'm talking about! As an account adminstrator, or professor, you will now be able to place playlists directly into the "Shared Playlists" area!


The "Folder" pull-down menu will allow you to drop those playlists right into the "shared" access area. No more un-necessary moving! This feature is available as a direct result of User communication, so please keep those comments coming!







As always, if you have any questions, feel free to write or call!

Stay Classy,
Nick
