Hi Folks!
Our IT team is doing some "behind the scenes" playlist optimization shortly to improve some of the speed and functionality on some areas of the playlist pages. See their message below for some more details.
Maintenance will begin at approximately 4:00 CST (22:00 GMT) and last approximately 10 minutes.
---
This outage should last no longer than 10 minutes.
During this time, Playlist functionality will be unavailable, some pages related to playlists may generate unexpected results.
Other site services and features will remain unaffected.
---
Happy Listening!
Nick

Calling All App Users!
So you have downloaded an
That's great…unless you can’t use it.
What I have heard from a lot of librarians and professors lately is that they need an easy step-by-step guide to setting the app up for first time use. Here by popular demand is just such a guide!
Creating a Personal/Student Playlist for Naxos Apps
The iPhone app was designed with our institutional users in mind, so a subscription through a university, library, school, or orchestra works. It just works little differently on an iPhone than on a computer.
For one thing, it does NOT require any work with IP authentication or the university's proxy server.
To generate a login for the NML app, you should:
1. Visit the NML page for your institution (library, university, school, orchestra, etc.) from a computer by going through the institution’s unique URL: http://example.naxosmusiclibrary.com
2. Navigate to the Playlist area and click “Sign Up” in the "Personal/Student" playlist account area.
3. Create a login on the sign up page. This login, consisting of your email address and a custom password, then becomes your login for the app.
See the tutorial below if you need help creating a personal/student playlist account.
Once you are fully signed up you will have access to the institution’s playlists and you can create your own customized playlists as well. I recommend creating a playlist on a computer before attempting to access through the app. For some reason it seems to make your first access run more smoothly.
You can also use the app to search and browse the full NML anytime, anywhere! That means you can stream music anytime, anywhere!
Happy Mobile Browsing, Music Lovers!
Pro musica,
Mo

Librarians: Please feel free to share or link this on your library’s website, as well as share or embed the YouTube tutorial to help your patrons use the NML more effectively.

NML iPhone Updae
Hi Folks!
Here are a couple pictures from the latest NML iPhone Beta 'App.
It's important to remember that although the overall layout can, and probably will change a bit, a teaser never hurt anyone!
Access to your NML Playlists (both personal and account/professor created) anytime, anywhere is certainly a feature I am THRILLED about!
We hope to have an ETA on the app availability soon!
Enjoy!

New Playlist Window!
It's that time of year!
Back to School, New Orchestra Season Preparations beginning...
We've made some great changes and enhancements to our Playlist window! In addition to the UI (User Interface- Here's my computer geek coming out) changes, we've also added some great new features. Below you can see some screen shots, explanations, and general information!
Here's a "Bubbled Out" version of the new interface. The main new feature here, are Playlist folders. Each professor/librarian/music director can now have their own folder(s) for members to locate the playlists quickly!
We've also updated the playlist control features to support the addition of folders. "Move Playlist" is an example!
Student and Individual Playlists!
Ever have that perfect album playing, and get frustrated you're unable to save it to a playlist?
Not anymore! All members of subscribing institutions (Orchestra's Included!) will have the ability to create and save their own set of playlists!
Here's the window that members will need to fill out.
* Naxos will NEVER sell, rent, or otherwise distribute your e-mail address to a third party*
E-mail in today's world, is simply the easiest way to retrieve and store member profiles!
Once logged in, members will be able to add, edit, and delete tracks from their individual playlists, all while having full access to the account playlists. Indeed, the NML is becoming the destination for classical music lovers of all walks of life!
Adding Directly to Account Playlists!
Some people know exactly what I'm talking about! As an account adminstrator, or professor, you will now be able to place playlists directly into the "Shared Playlists" area!
The "Folder" pull-down menu will allow you to drop those playlists right into the "shared" access area. No more un-necessary moving! This feature is available as a direct result of User communication, so please keep those comments coming!
As always, if you have any questions, feel free to write or call!
Stay Classy,
Nick

Pick of the Week: I Dreamed About You - Songs of Love and Longing from World War II
As we are 2 days away from Father's Day (June 21 for those of you who don't know) I thought it only appropriate to create a Pick of the Week based on what my Dad would dig. He's obsessed with WWI and WWII. Growing up, we spent a lot of time walking around battlefields throughout France where my great grandfathers served. While most kids got a Gameboy for Christmas, we would get lectures on these Great United States. At the time I resented all that gab, but now I cherish our family folklore more than anything.
However, one of the things I find so interesting about the period of 1910-1945 is the music. It really conveys how good and bad things were during those times. I can't imagine anything more difficult than sending loved ones off to war, and anything more joyous than having them home safe. That being said, I bring you I Dreamed About You - Songs of Love and Longing from World War II. It is a great collection of music from the 1940s from ABC Classics. Here's a quick song listing:
1. Don't Sit Under the Apple Tree
2. We'll Meet Again
3. Amor
4. It's Been A Long, Long Time
5. Ac-Cent-Tchu-Ate the Positive
6. I'll Walk Alone
7. I Cried for You
8. Nightingale
9. A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square
10. Room 504
11. Why Don't You Do Right?
12. Poinciana
13. I'm Beginning to See the Light
14. Star Eyes
15. I've Heard That Song Before
16. Don't Fence Me In
17. Frenesi
18. Home Town
I'm planning on putting together a playlist for my Dad on his account. Do you have any suggestions for all the Dad's out there? Hope you have a great Father's Day!
