We’re super stoked to finally announce the long-awaited upgrade to our main project : the Burst Labs site for music discovery and licensing.

It’s taken us a bit longer than we’d hoped, but we really wanted to get you some of the most requested tweaks and didn’t want to compromise on our normal music production. So, after spending the past few months in furious emails back and forth with our web development team, here’s a quick hit list of what’s changed (some of these are covered in the preview video we’ve posted below) :

• new Home Page
• new About section (including FAQ, Credits, etc.)
• new Navigation bar
• Log Out displays currently signed-in account
• more Recent items at Home Page
• all submission forms (Log In, Send To Friend, License This Track, etc.) are now in Flash
• expanded live area for previewing Petri Dish tracks in Audio Player
• Audio Player keeps track of recently played tracks
• tracks that have already been played are darkened in Petri Dish
• new Track Details layout
• Track Durations (Time) now in list and detail views
• Downloads dialog in Flash lists all available formats, stems and edits (coming soon)
• License Track form allows for multiple tracks in one submission form
• new All Compilations view

Enjoy the walkthrough video below… after 5 or 6 aborted takes I decided to just play it loose and left a few goofs in there (I wasn’t logged in when I attempted to show the new License This Track pop up - just one example!).

And much, much more planned for very soon. First comment below is a list of some of the features we have in the works already, but we absolutely want to know what all of you would like to see… drop us a comment (or an email) and we’ll get to it.

Thanks! [dh]
