Udta Dhuaan – The Hindi music album that you should buy

March 14th, 2012 § 1

Udta Dhuaan is a saving grace for the Hindi music industry which is today fraught with Punjabi tones and electronic sounds. Considering what has become of the industry, this album is my only hope that Hindi music has some soul too.

Nitin Dubey, the composer of Udta Dhuaan is quite easily the most talented and the most liked in the Indian Muzboo community. His choice of voice, sounds and lyrics help create an audio-visual experience that you can’t help but fall in love with.

In short, Udta Dhuaan will be the best 5 bucks ever spent on Indian sounds. Click here to buy.

The hot news in the Social networking world today is Google plus. The hotter news is Google + is more than just social networking; it is an extension to Google’s primary offering: Search.

What does Google + mean for your music in Muziboo? The more people (Google) +1 your song on your song page, the more the people that will discover it. It is very much like Facebook Like but with far wider implications across the web. To +1 any song, click on the +1 button right next to the title of the song.

Goodbye 503 errors

March 11th, 2011 § 8

We had earlier announced that we are working on the outages and slow load times in Muziboo that were caused due to the surge of growth and our resources being pushed to their limits. We have fixed it all now. If by any chance you still see any of those ‘503 errors’ please do not hesitate to inform us. You can always shoot a mail to support@muziboo.com

Also, if you are an RoR (Ruby on Rails) enthusiast you will have fun reading this post on Muziboo dev blog on how exactly we went about scaling.

Update on recent Muziboo outages

February 28th, 2011 § 3

Muziboo has been growing steadily in the last few months and there has been a surge of growth particularly this month. This has pushed our hardware resources to its limits. That is the reason for the frequent ‘503 errors’ and downtimes.

We want to assure you all that we are currently working on scaling our resources to keep up with this kind of growth. We apologize for all the trouble caused because of this issue. Please be assured that this will soon be resolved to provide you with a smooth experience.

Song for your Valentine

Many valentine songs get posted to Muziboo on this day as a dedication to special friends and loved ones. The one that caught my attention was a soulful song by Randy Farmer for his wife Christie.

The song is called Lamp of Love and here we go!

Introducing the Playlist feature

December 29th, 2010 § 9

We recently pulled off the option of pooling music into Groups for the reason that the pooling/ grouping was not done appropriately by most of the users. There has been a lot of requests to reinstate that feature for it did prove useful to all users that could use it appropriately. So we are introducing a similar feature – ability to build playlists – which exactly takes care of the need of pooling music of similar kind but discards the possibility of diluting the quality of groups.

Also, unlike groups this feature gives listeners the ability to build playlists of their choice.

I am posting below a screen shot of a player with the playlist option highlighted.

Pulling off the ‘Groups’ Feature from Muziboo

December 7th, 2010 § 1

The concept of Groups was primarily introduced in Muziboo for two reasons: To promote discussions and provide a way for categorizing music. In the couple of years of its existence this feature has been used widely for discussions. The other feature of ‘Post song to Group’ was mostly confusing users and hence negligibly used. To keep it simple and more useful, we have pulled off the concept of ‘Groups’  by just retaining the ‘Discussion’ platform. This minimality will help us bring more focus and attention to individual discussions.
