We've been busy lately. The site might look totally different, but we promise it's still the indiradio you know and love. Just so nobody gets too confused, here's an overview of what we've changed:

• Song browsing: we changed the way browsing for songs works, so it's much easier to find the exact artist or album you're looking for. You can browse by artist, album, genre, and location, and even have songs recommended to you.
• Buddylists: we changed the way buddies get displayed, so it's way more attractive now, filled with all of those buddy icons we know you like to stare at for hours. We also changed the way buddying works: you now have to request approval in order to become someone's buddy. You'll get an email asking you for approval if someone says they're your friend. We've heard this sort of thing is good for privacy. Also, you can now have friends recommended to you, much like songs--they might be artists you'd like to listen to, or listeners that you probably have something in common with.
• The site theme! We got sick of the dreary grey on black motif we were using, so we decided to take a stand against the lack of color. It worked. We hope that this new color scheme is a lot easier on the eyes (and less depressing, too).

We also added a few entirely new features! They are:

• Favorites: click on "add to favorites" at the bottom links section of any song, gig, profile, or page on the site to save that page to your favorites. Your favorites are visible on your profile and are a way to let others know what content you like. You can also use them to save pages you frequently visit, and get to them through your profile.
• Listener profiles: we thought it just wasn't fair that artists got these way cool designer profiles with all sorts of borders and fancy features, and listeners had crappy profiles with no real organization or layout... so we fixed it. Listeners have fancy profiles now. See what they can do! You might be in for a surprise or two.
