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

NSWL iPhone App! - Updated

The third App from Naxos is now complete. Soon, audiobooks and musical texts will be even easier to access on the go with the Naxos Spoken Word Library App!

Click Here to Download the App!

The NSWL allows for streaming of the Naxos Audio Books label, a wonderful new Bookmarking feature (see below for a great new App feature), and access to more than 500 titles!

Below are some screen shots from the iPod/iPhone/iPad App. This week, Nick will also be at the AISL annual conference (here in Nashvegas!), and he'll have the Beta version of the App for all to see and "play with"!

*As always, these shots were taken from a Beta version of the App. Things can, and most likely will, change between now and the release of the App on the App store. *

The ability to add and delete bookmarks on the go is a GREAT new feature of the NSWL app! Simply click on the + to start the process. These bookmarks are then available both on the App, and on the computer!

Naxos Spoken Word Library Writeup

Hello Friends,

Our colleague across the pond Nicolas Soams has written a fabulous article about the Naxos Spoken Word Library!

Nicolas works with our wonderful collection of Naxos Audio Books - and has some great things to say about all of the new changes and features of the NSWL.

The bookmarking ability is especially exciting! Head on over to the NAB Blog, and have a read!

As they say in England - Cheers!

Naxos Music Library Content Suggestions

It's that time of year again where I get antsy for new music, and who better to get suggestions from than you?

For example, I was going through our catalog and realized we don't have much Moses Hogan music. Since I am the office choir nerd, I thought that Moses Hogan definitely needs to be in the Naxos Music Library. His music pretty much defined my choir experience in high school (enter Elijah Rock!, The Battle of Jericho, Wade in the Water, Didn't My Lord Deliver Daniel, My Soul's Been Anchored in the Lord...the list goes on...).

If you're going through the Naxos Music Library (Jazz, or Spoken Library too!) and think we need to add something to our catalog, let us know in the comments! I'd love to get more ideas for content you want in the NML. Better yet - I challenge you to come up with your favorite composer we don't have in the NML yet!

Key Word Search Function Down

We haven't received any inquires about the Key Word Search function yet, but wanted to let everyone know that our KWS server is down. We are in the process of rebooting it, but it will not be complete until tonight.

Please be advised that the Advanced Search function works. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact Taylor or Nick and we'll help you find what you're looking for. Contact us at NMLHELP at NAXOSUSA dot COM.
