    Max has added the facility to browse the latest MP3 additions directly by adding a Streaming Media Player as the centre-piece of the Front page.
The last 25 added Mp3s are available to play via this facility:




Currently available is some electronic progressive music by the likes of Conrad Scnitzler,& Bernard Xolotl, Steve Wilson's IEM project and some Indo prog/Raga by Shakti/McLaughlin and also the legendary Third Ear Band.

Of course this selection will change when yours truly gets round to adding more tracks (currently a backlog of about 20-30 tracks)

I think this is a good idea and may encourage new bands to send us their music and get added to the Archives.

Great addition, except for positioning - can we move it to the bottom of the page?

Positioning isn't the greatest, but surely not to the bottom of things.

It's a fine addition to the outlook. Thumbs Up

The position is great. It's the first thing you see, might help introducing more people to prog.

I think it is in the right place if the tracks change every now and then, optherwise it would not have much scense...

I'm not afraid for static content, it's just that this MP3 box is too big to be at the top. On my 1024x768 notebook (yeah, it's an oldie, but it still works) it takes up too much space. Especially since I only visit the home page to check out the latest reviews, which is my way to discover new bands and albums.

It could be a matter of getting used to though - and it's still a nice addition.

I agree re the positioning. For me, it is too intrusive, devaluing the reviews which are pushed significantly further down the page.

I think it should be moved as well, I think it actually takes away from the overall look of the site (which is great by the way). I don't think it should be the first thing a first-time visitor should see when entering the site, he should, instead, see the reviews because that's the main attraction of this site or at least it is for me. I think that maybe if you move it around a little it would look much better.

How about re-sizing it and moving to the right size? Just an idea.

Good idea!

Could the word "download" be removed though? - it's misleading.

I also agree with the positioning - this is far from ideal. The ideal position would be somewhere on the side IMO, but that wouldn't fit... maybe it could be edited (make the cover smaller and the room for text shorter, for instance) to make it fit?

I think it's a great idea. The size is a tad off, but it's nice to have it there.

Errr... two points:
 
re-positioning to the right side, as spotted by others. (1)
 
change randomly the mp3 to allow visitors notice all other mp3 streaming available in PA. (2) In this case, the word "Latest" should be erased.
