BERIGAN Posted September 30, 2004 Report Posted September 30, 2004 (edited) I wasn't that aware of it at first, but doesn't it seem as if they have "purged" some titles of late??? Some seem to still be there, but not if you look up by artist! I was going to ask about a "Charly" Charley Parker box set, but couldn't find it listed...in fact...there was only about 30 titles listed! I thought, there must be a page 2 tab I am missing, or list all titles like before...but if it is there, it is hiding pretty well. I thought, well, I haven't signed in in awhile, perhaps they don't let you see the complete list without signing in! Nope, not the problem either... Just commented on a Red Allen cd, and was going to mention a JSP with alternates...but only a dozen or so titles are listed! No JSP's, nor the Collector's classic series cds..but, you can click on the thumbnail on the first page on Red and get to The Henry Allen Collection, Vol. 6 (1941-1946) Thought perhaps they had the other releases under his 2nd listing on their site, the one not in bold...nope.... Then I go to Red Nichols....only 15 or so titles listed. The Jazz oracle label cd, Red Nichols On Edison 1924-1927 has a thumbnail to click on, but no jazz oracle titles to be found in the 15 listed! The Classics release for the years 1925-27 has a thumbnail(I am just now noticing that the 5 thumbnails rotate with new ones coming from the left! ) but, no classics are listed.... I remember trying to look up an old group from the 60's, Blonde on Blonde a few weeks back. Several groups by that name, but couldn't find the group, or the title of the cd I had in my hand....just for laughs, I looked up by song, and viola, there was the album, review and all....anyone else notice this, or is someone gaslighting me??? Hell, I couldn't even find the old allmusic thread , kept coming across images posted from allmusic instead! Edited September 30, 2004 by BERIGAN Quote
couw Posted September 30, 2004 Report Posted September 30, 2004 check the "compilations" tab under "discography" Quote

Not everything in the artist's discography will be listed in the main discography tab. I find this an annoying feature of the new AMG, but I suppose it could have been worse. I haven't had any issues finding what I've needed since they switched over and worked out some of the bugs. Quote
BERIGAN Posted September 30, 2004 Author Report Posted September 30, 2004 check the "compilations" tab under "discography" Oh man, now my very tired head is really hurting! I tried clicking on both before, but the info stayed the same, I swears! You're gaslighting me, ain't ya? You control their site! ok, why is it that after you click on discography, it defaults to Compilations, which has less albums than Main album does??? Just now typed in Red Allen, and Compilations is in green. So, I click on Main Albums, and Compilations stays green, like there is no more albums to be found! I just tried it again...the page reloads...back to Compilations! I click on Compilations , and now Main Albums is in green...and all the listings I couldn't find are there now...will someone please look up ol' Red for me and see if this is the way it should be.....I know I should be in bed now.....

couw Posted September 30, 2004 Report Posted September 30, 2004 the selected tab is in white. all other available tabs that are currently NOT selected are in green. those unavailable are in grey shade and hardly readable anyhow. Check an artist like John Coltrane who has most of the tabs working. The design could have been much much better Quote
brownie Posted September 30, 2004 Report Posted September 30, 2004 check the "compilations" tab under "discography" Oh man, now my very tired head is really hurting! I tried clicking on both before, but the info stayed the same, I swears! You're gaslighting me, ain't ya? You control their site! I have had the same problem several times. Never cared much for the site as far as critical judgement was concerned but have to recognize its handy usefullness. But I remember the previous version to be much more computer friendly than the current one. Quote
Jazzmoose Posted September 30, 2004 Report Posted September 30, 2004 I must admit I find myself in the company of those who are not impressed by the "new" AMG site. It seems as though they've gone out of their way to clutter up the information and make it as difficult as possible to access. Quote
