I Need Your Input -- New Feature Survey
July 7, 2020

Dear Hudson Valley Musicians,

With CDs seemingly a thing of the past now, I want to find a better way for you to feature your music on this site that is not necessarily tied to a CD.

Right now musicians can create a CD listing and include up to 3 full songs or samples that visitors can listen to. Your CD listing also tells visitors where they can buy your CD. But that is no longer the world we are all living in — Streaming services have replaced CD sales, and I rarely now see new CD listings being created on this site.
I also have a "Jukebox" that pulls songs randomly from all the CD listings and presents them for visitors to listen too. A mini-HV-streaming service if you will.

I am looking for your ideas on how I can change these features to better serve both musicians and the music-loving public.You can comment below or contact me via email.
