You simply know where to find what. The larger interactive part you are asking for is interesting. It is being debated in the forums, but some people want to keep it basic, others would support the idea of being able to put on more stuff, as there isn't the usual profile section, with add-ons, demographic data, "about me" sections and more...so people tend to stay more anonymous than usual on the61. Then, the genre list is still very basic and needs to be reviewed anyway, there is no soul and no folk genre, there should be tagging and subgenres, as many songs are simply miscategorized because of a lack of genres and subgenres. In total though I am totally in love with the site, I have found so much music I'd never have heard otherwise. There is a lot of interaction between the users and between users and artists. Cheers!

They are a good artist, but I don't see how some folky/electro is the number one in the hip hop genre. found some artists I like:
thesixtyone.com/zealous1
thesixtyone.com/PaulDateh
thesixtyone.com/DanTheAutomator (new song?!)
thesixtyone.com/chancesend

That's so fucking complicated, right? But it's totally worth it. I just found another listener/artist problem, i can't freaking follow you. So I have no idea when you add new songs etc... Why do they make me have two accounts? I found your page http://thesixtyone.com/dform

I'm assuming you are on a listener account because artists don't start off with any points... unless I'm totally wrong. If you are an artist, then the upload song button is right below the "profile" button. As for the judges, that is completely and totally up to them, but I am going to suggest it to them. We didn't want to require it because listening to and reviewing [up to] 12 albums in a week is a daunting task in of itself. I'm also going to encourage all the artists to write up any reviews on their own sites (all but one of the albums are linked on the cdd01 page). Hell, maybe we'll do a secret peer judged voting on the next round. D-

I signed up easily enough (even got 50 bonus points to start) but how do you upload your tracks? For the CDDM do you know if the judges are going to provide write ups of their selections or are they just going to vote? It would be cool to get some feedback from the judges.
