SCRoulette BUG fixing

Hello everybody!

It’s great to see how you use SCRoulette! More than 60 users.  Great! I see a lot of music. But… there is no limit to perfection. And today I found a bug.

Everybody can add in roulette non-private songs. Also it is possible to delete song from SCRoulette. But when somebody adds song in roulette and delete this song from SoundCloud profile I can not manage this. Also the owner of the deleted song may forget about his/her music in SCRoulette. So, I decided that it is right to delete song if it doesn’t exist. Thankfully to SoundCloud API I can find not existing tracks.

When somebody will start session and if he/she will find not existing track, this track will be deleted, and after a second another track will be available for listening.

 

New statistical parameter in SCRoulette

I’ve just added a new statisitcal parameter in SCRoulette – rating.

At this moment this parameter doesn’t affect on anything. It just shows the ratio of number of plays (registered plays when you earn one playpoint) to number of attempts to play. It’s very simple. But I think that this rating parameter will help you to understand what people like or not.

Possible errors with SCRoulette

Few days ago I noticed in statistics of SCRoulette strange URLs, like http://blabla/?err=_err … stuff like that. Obviously, it means that somebody faced with some errors on website. Yes, errors, but why did they appear?

I think, that the only cause of error like that, is the SoundCloud mobile application. And it may appear, when somebody tries to log in using the mobile application. Concrete moment – when browser asks what application do you want to choose to log in:

Choose the application. Android

So, if you whant to log in with mobile app, it seems to me that you’ll not succeed, unfortunatly. Use browser.

P.S. I don’t know how it works with iPhone.

P.P.S. If you found some errors, or you have some ideas about scrouleete, feel free to comment here, on YouTube, Twitter (use #scroulette tag)

Why you should try the SCRoulette

It’s a good question, isn’t it?

First of all, what is SCRoulette? I tried to describe it, also with including of the tutorial, here… But, it’s boring.

So, SCRoulette is a free tool to promote your music within SoundCloud service. The basic actions that are expeced from users:

  1. Log in with SoundCloud
  2. Add your own songs
  3. Listen to other music
  4. Optional – give good comments to music you loved

Basically, main idea is to listen to music and allow other musicians listen to your songs.

You may say “…man, SoundCloud has a search tool, new Discover feature and so on…” Yes , you are right, but, for example, my songs are not appear in the search, and your songs are not appear there so often too, I think =) So, with scroulette I hope to build self moderated community and now I can say, that practically every song in scroulette may be heard by somebody.

But we need more people XD

And yes, it’s free (as I said it onse, just in case =) ), but scroulette does not give you promises to increase the number of followers in 10 times in one second – only when other people really liked your music. I think it’s honest.

Enjoy! _______________b( O_o )d
