Make a desktop application!

We think that the fact we’re a website not an application is one of our biggest strengths… but we recognise that there are sometimes advantages to having a desktop application. With technologies like Adobe Air it may well be possible for us to do this relatively easily, so we will definitely consider it.

Add a repeat button in the control panel!
I love the fact that you can shuffle playlists and albums but sometimes I just want to repeat a song so it would be great if you could incorporate this feature. At the moment I have to keep clicking to 'queue' a song so that I can listen to it repeatedly!

When you listen for free, the music is paid for by adverts. If we add a repeat button, we’ll also need to add something you must click periodically to tell us you’re still there. Still interested?

The first step of this is now done. You can now play a radio station based on the things you love. Have a look at the new home page. If you are logged in then go to the “Your Stations” tab. From there you will see your personal radio. We aim to extend this kind of functionality.

Bring back the old we7. Please.
I can't even begin describing my upset at we7 suddenly changing overnight like that. I know it seems really stupid to be upset over a website, but I've been saving up for months to buy the collection of albums I've amassed on your site. And now I have to pay to even access them, let alone buy... ?
Your on-demand service was the only thing I used we7 for. The radio service was, to me, just a little bell I used if I needed background noise. If I genuinely want "a personal DJ" radio, like you're advertising we7 as now,… more

Hi,
If you have purchased albums you can still access them on subscription.we7.com.
Our deals with the record labels mean that we can only do 50 on demand streams each month so the old site will no longer be great for users who want to choose exactly what they listen too all the time.

Make the volume of the ads match the song.
Some of the ads are much louder than the music. Sometimed if I'm listening to something quiet, I nearly jump out of my skin when the song changes! Immediate reaction is to jump for the volume control and the ad does not achieve its objective.

We’ve tried to normalise the volume on adverts. At this point, the difference in volume is typically less than it is for adverts on television.
If you have a complaint about a specific advert, feel free to let us know.

Search By Lyric
Don't you hate it when you have a song in your head, but you can't remember what it's called, or who it's by?
If we could search for a song using the a line of the lyrics, wouldn't it make our lives much easier, and get rid of that annoying problem?243 votesplanned ·

Lyrics have never been a huge focus for us, but we’re starting to collaborate with a popular lyrics website. They may make some of this possible – if not on our site then at least on theirs.

A ToolBar For Firefox,Safari,Internet Explorer,Etc
Add a tool bar showing What song you are listening to and show the top 10 of everything.......

I like the idea of a toolbar, but you can already see what you’re listening to in the we7 player and you can see the top songs at http://www.we7.com/#/charts/tracks
Any other ideas for what a we7 toolbar could do?

Target ads so they match what the user is listening to better.
I understand the need for ads, but they need to be selected better. E.g. ads for the latest pop are a waste of time if you listen to classical - they don't sell anything for the advertiser and they're annoying for the listener.

How would you see people enter the lottery? Perhaps go to a page and press enter? Should this only be available to registered users or everyone?

add currently playing tune to a playlist
WE really need to be able to add the currently playing tune to an existing or new playlist... Curreenlty have to open a new browser with the current tune, and add from there - its a hassle.
This would be really great now we have the radio feature, as bands/ytunes are coming up that I really want to return to later.

create an add-on for Windows Media Centre
Media Centre is included in pretty much every version of Windows 7. Microsoft are pushing Internet-based media very hard in this revision and I think that We7 could use this as another means of getting their service and music in front of people.

Classical Music
I think it would be helpful if you could collate all the classical music so there are not multiple entries for the same composer. There should be three parameters, artist (the soloist, conductor or orchestra), composer and piece. The pieces should then be split into their movements. It might be easier to have a separate classical section? Also the advertising should be normalised accordingly, since it is often to necessary to increase the volume for a classical track, it can be quite irritating when the adverts come in at a much louder volume ruining the mood between two movements.

Thanks for the input. We agree the current situation is not ideal. Its quite a lot of work to fix this and classical is not a big genre for us. We will fix this, but it wont be soon.

flash advert causes we7 to lock up
Flash pop-up ad between songs states "your music will start playing shortly" (or similar), but then it NEVER does. Nor does the advert for that matter either - get it sorted! Using Firefox 3.5.7 on Windows Vista, and FlashPlayer 10. This bug also appears to happen with Safari on Windows (as per another post).

Hey guys. We think we have found the problem. We are implementing something that will kill the video ad if it does not start within x seconds. We hope to release this in the next couple of weeks.

Make video ads work better
I understand the need for the ads and have clicked through on a number of them. Problem is the implementation of the video ads drives me up the wall! Stopping the music until I stop what I'm concentrating on just to look at it just makes me purposefully pay no attention to the ad and leaves me hating the poor company in question. Is this the idea? Please, please change it, I'd listen to the ad no probs but breaking my concentration is just not working for me.

Allow users to suggest songs
Add a section to allow users to suggest to you artists or songs to add to your website, for example: "Clutch - Electric worry" Is no featured on your website and i could suggest you add it.
I understand the legal issues with some songs but maybe you could have a voting system and make the most popular request your top priority.

We get as much music as we can get from the record labels. If something is missing, it’s because they haven’t given it to us.
If we took suggestions, it’s not likely we could get the music, but we could try.

Show how far you are towards earning subsequent ad free days
At the moment once you've earnt an ad free day, the graphic stops showing how close you are to earning another one. It would be nice to be able to see how close you are to a second, third, fourth... etc. ad free day.
