600,00 Tracks and Climbing!

What a great week this has been for the NOL Team!

Not only did we launch the Naxos Spoken Word Library App and welcome our 2,000th Twitter follower, but we also hit that wonderful 600,000 track marker!

To celebrate this milestone we've decided to spotlight a feature of the NML that will help you keep up with all of those additions!

The NML RSS Feed

Below you can find a step by step (and picture by picture) guide to using the RSS Feed available with the NML.

Adding as many albums per day as we do (sometimes, it's over 100 albums per day!) it can be tough to keep track of just how many new additions there are. The RSS feed includes every album added to the NML. For those who don't use RSS feed's currently, the page can feel a bit daunting...don't fret!

Thanks to the folks at www.feedicons.com for providing the icon to the left! Visit their site to download all shapes, colors, and resolutions of the RSS icon!



First, visit the "Home" screen in the NML. Simply click on the little house (see below). Then, click on the RSS Icon


In a separate tab, the window below will open. If you use an RSS manager, you'll know what to do here. You can also use the new version of Outlook to manage your feeds, and that's what I'll be showing below.

Next, Outlook will prompt you to "allow" the feed.

And voila! Every album added to the NML will now be available for you to quickly, and easily browse. I'll leave it to you to figure out how to use this information, but now you know how to get it!

Thanks to both our Label partners and all of you - our subscribers. It's time to start the countdown (or count up?) to 1,000,000 tracks!

Happy RSS'ing,
Nick

*Live* - NML iPhone App - Version 2.0

I'm such a geek for updates. Really. I am guilty of hitting that "Refresh" button on just about every page, hoping for something new. The good news, is that we actually have a VERY cool update to share with everyone!

The NML iPhone App has been so well received (and we THANK YOU!!!), that we couldn't just stop there. There was so much more that could be done! Well, see below for some great screenshots of the new NML iPhone App 2.0.

** Version 2.0 is now Live! Visit the App Store, or click the link below to update your version!**

That shouldn't stop us from updating you though? Right? :) If you don't have the current NML iPhone app, click the link below to download it now!

Download the current NML iPhone App!

Version 2.0 of the app will still allow you to view your custom, individual playlists, as well as the professor/administrator created ones. Those menu's received a slight "Texture" update. I'm a fan of the new buttons!


Not sure about what to listen to? Soon , there will be some "Naxos" created playlists too! These will also start to appear on the "Web-Based" NML pages too, so keep your eyes peeled!

Who knows, we may even hold contests for our readers to submit playlists! Thinks like composer or period specific playlists are always great!

If you're following us on Twitter or Facebook, you may have seen my love for Steve Reich. Ever since my Musicology research paper in college, I've had a soft spot in my musical heart for his music. Hence my 4 differnet Steve Reich compilation playlists.

The same goes for my hopeful inclusion of a "Marimba" playlist. (being a percussionist)

Quick! How many drummers does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
Answer: Five. One to screw the bulb in, and four to talk about how much better Neil Peart could have done it.

Har Har Har - now back to the Updates!

Thanks to DrumJokes.com for the Friday Funny.

The next "button" on our stop, is the Catalog button. This menu brings up a simple search bar. Essentially, it performs a keyword search within the Naxos Music Library and displays the results on your iPhone/iPod Touch!

Searching for "Brahms" brings up this window ----------------->

The next window brings up a track listing, as well as the album description. See below for another side-by-side set of screenshots.

<------- This appears at the Top of an Album Page

This appears at the bottom of a Album's Page -------->
(simply scroll down to the bottom of the track listing)






The player window remains unchanged, except for the fact that you can now hit the "Back" button, navigate to a new piece, scroll, browse..etc... all while the music plays!
If you couldn't tell, we're really excited about this new version! If you have any questions, need help creating playlists, or simply want to chat, feel free to call or write anytime!

Happy Updates!
Nick

Easily Download Music You Enjoy!

Upon logging into the NML today, many of you notice the "Buy and Download" buttons in the NML. These links will take you to our Download store, Classics Online!

While many users welcome this feature, (as even some of the more well known recordings can be tough to find for purchase), some folks epxressed interest in the ability to turn this feature off.

Here's a step by step guide to turning the links off, should your institution like to.

Here's a Screenshot with the Link on.

1. To Begin: Log into the NML with your administrator Username//Password




2. Click on "Manage Account"






3. The next pop-up will display the account management screen. You can see the "Enable/Disable" option for the COL Links.



That will do it! If you have any other questions, feel free to contact us at Naxos.

Happy Thanksgiving!
