I’ve been thinking about an interesting way for music lovers to rate Nigerian songs and I developed TrashorPass.com.
As the name suggests, you listen to a Nigerian song and rate it by Trashing or Passing it. It’s that simple (would have been vague to use “Like” and “Dislike” ).
I am hoping to gather enough statistics on individual songs to help radio stations, blogs and even the artists themselves understand the way Nigerians perceive their songs.
It’s a relatively new platform and i am very much open to any suggestions that would make the platform a success.
Check out TrashorPass.com and let me know what you guys think
Nice, I like the idea. Would definitely work in a society where people have got loads of free time and data to sit around online and listen to songs they may have no interest in, while gladly clicking pass or trash and populating your data without any incentive.
You can try rewarding a review by providing a download link after the user has passed a song. Or recommend songs the user might like if the user has trashed a song. But then, you need exclusive content to get people interested and to keep coming back. One way you can make it seem like you have exclusive content is to have your homepage showing songs that are less than 2 weeks old. Songs over 2 weeks old can be considered ‘expired’. The old songs CANNOT be rated but can be downloaded only if the pass > trash. If you generate enough downloads for these artists you will have them begging their fans to go rate their new songs on your site.
And you can start marketing yourself as “where only great music thrives”, “Make good music or go home!”
Nice UI btw.
Wow!! Thank you so much for the feedback, I will definitely look into your suggestions.
I decided to get rid of the download button to avoid copyright issues but might reintroduce it based on your suggestion cos we’re in a society where artists will gladly share their songs online for recognition.
It wasn’t intentional to use two frontend frameworks, i am a huge fan of bootstrap which the site was originally built on but love the elegance of semantic ui. Personally, i feel semantic has a more modern look and feel, besides, it uses flexbox for its layout (although this wouldn’t render well in older browsers).
I plan on using semantic ui for the entire website sometime in the near future.
