Qloud’s Plug-ins

As some of you may know, we’ve had some issues with our plug-ins. Early users of Qloud will remember a tag browser that was part of the iTunes Visualizer. This allowed users to tag tracks in their library and even sort their music and create playlists based on those tags. Unfortunately we found the iTunes Visualizer environment to be unstable for this type of functionality. So we scaled back quite a bit, completely ditching the visualizer and tag browser. Now, visually the plug-in runs in your system tray or menu bar, and we’ve streamlined a lot of our processes to make it more lightweight. These plug-ins were released in January.

Since then we’ve been improving our “historical upload” process, song recognition, and user recognition. We’ve also improved our error reporting a great deal which has allowed us to make several bug fixes (so if you are a user out there still experiencing crashes and aren’t submitting the error reports, SUBMIT THEM).

As always if you have any comments or questions about the plug-in, please shoot an email to feedback@qloud.com.

What’s your theme song?

Do you have a theme song? Do you identify closely with Ice Cube or Whitesnake? Does the song “Shake Your Booty” perfectly describe your moves on the dancefloor? Now you can let the world know. And, if you happen to know a great theme song for your friend, you can assign one to them too. Our new What My Theme Song? application has all of this built in and more.

It’s easy to assign any friend a song. Once you do, they’ll be able to listen to the song and send some to their friends. Check it out here
