You can now add a picture of yourself. Pictures are shown in search results, message boards, and user pages.

Test data removed

We removed the artificial users and ensembles; everything is real now.

Search notifications

Tue, 12 Apr 2022 04:47:33 GMT

If someone does a search, and you're in the top 10 results, you get notified.

Add text to search function

Mon, 04 Apr 2022 09:19:27 GMT

Searches of all types can now specify one or more words, which are matched against the item's text (introduction, user-specified instruments and styles, and so on).

Add Introduction for each role

Sat, 02 Apr 2022 06:46:36 GMT

Profiles for each role (composer, performer, technician, teacher) now can include an "introduction" , where you can describe yourself in that role - your favorite composers, your background, whatever you want. This replaces "influences" in composer profiles. Introductions are shown as popups in search results.

"Follow" replaces "friend"

Fri, 01 Apr 2022 00:53:42 GMT

We replaced "friendship", which requires confirmation , with "follow", which does not.

URL change

Thu, 31 Mar 2022 18:28:32 GMT

Music Match is now at https://music-match.org

Tablet support

Tue, 29 Mar 2022 19:44:03 GMT

Listening to audio signatures in search results involved hovering the cursor over the user name. This didn't work on tablets (such as iPad) which don't have a notion of hovering.

We changed things so that you click on a note icon to hear the audio signature. This works on tablets as well as desktops.

Teachers

Tue, 29 Mar 2022 19:39:50 GMT

We added support for the Teacher role. You can now fill out a Teacher profile, and you can search for teachers.

Searches and notifications

Tue, 29 Mar 2022 19:38:17 GMT

When you do a search, we now record it. We then periodically re-run the search and notify you if there are new results.

On the air

Music Match is here, in alpha-test mode. The basic functions work, but

The URL is isaac.ssl.berkeley.edu; eventually it will be music-match.org
The database is populated with artificial users and ensembles; we'll remove them at some point.
