When you click on a playlist, it seems to drop about 20 songs into that queue, completely filling the bottom of the browser window. So clicking another song gives precisely no feedback.

I imagine it's happily dropping an icon off the screen someplace, but there's no evidence of it. Unless you happen to open the aforementioned "queue" box and see that the number has changed.

Incidentally, I notice that the box at the bottom says "drag music here." On Win7/Chrome, attempting to drag a song usually just selects the entire page. I gave up on trying until coming back here and seeing people talking about that ability. I'd recommend getting an onselectstart handler onto that page.



Hey Jason thanks for the feedback!

Queue Feedback: You're right that we need some queue adding feedback and we've been trying to find a way to go about it that won't prove to annoying to the user. Next week you should see a small popup above the queue count every time you add :)

Dragging: We're trying to figure out what page you were trying to drag song from. Many of the pages/grids are draggable but we still have a few places left to implement it.

Was it the Community page by chance? We'll be adding the ability to drag from there, hopefully by the end of the month.


I was dragging from the homepage. It seemed to happen more often when I was scrolled down a bit, but overall about half my drag attempts dragged whereas the other half selected.

You can reproduce the select effect by simply missing an icon when you start your drag. Now imagine that happening when you were directly over one.

All the best. As I said before, this is a massive improvement on the original. I'll actually use this site.
