One bit of feedback after submitting a track: The list of genres to select from is too course-grained IMHO. There's a gazillion sub-genres of electronic dance music for example, but "Electronic" was as close as I could get. Genres like metal have the same issue. It doesn't matter so much now given the current UX, but if you consider others' suggestions on adding genre/sub-genre specific lists (which I agree with 100%), then I think you'll want to allow people to get as fine-grained as they want to (sub-genre lists could all bubble up to a parent genre list, and all of the steps in between). Submit Hub does this very well, if you're looking for examples/inspiration.

My two pennies. Good luck with the site!

Great advice. I’ve used submit hub for many years, it is a great product.

The issue with have with genre is you really can have any genre, and new ones are being made up all the time. We won’t be able to have competitive lists for all of these so decided to approach it from as few genres as possible, then will Implement a tagging system that an artist can write anything in. We will then offer search by tag so they can be found.

It’s a slow process as this is a part time project but hopefully we will get there!
