Seamless Login and Sign Up Without Music Interruption

At Mugasha, our goal is to make it really easy to listen to and navigate the site. We know we have a log way to go, but starting today we are making it really easy to login and sign up. You can now login or signup while playing a set, and the page won't refresh the page or stop playback. We use some neat Javascript/Ajax to make this happen. Many of you have requested this feature. Many of you also want to browse the website while listening to music, heck even we would love that. That change is a bit more involved and we will slowly transition Mugasha, where you will be able to browse the site while playing a set. 

Tracking plays is important. 
There is another reason why we care so much about this feature. We noticed that people love listening to long sets but often forget to login. If you are logged in we can archive all your plays so you have easy access to history of what you have been listening to. Also, you can easily like tracks and sets and make comments. Play history will be a big part of making it easy to discover new music for people. We are currently working on some new features that will help your friends and followers (oooh what?) discover and keep track of new music, based on your listening habits. 

So these new features...
Yes, so we are working on new features. Many of you might have been subscribing to shows. You will soon receive notifications through email/Facebook in an email digest of all your subscriptions. When you subscribe to a show, Mugasha will notify you about new sets part of that show as they become available on the site. If you subscribe to a lot of shows, we will send you an weekly digest of all the new sets in one email. Don't worry we don't like spam either. 

I also mentioned following users. We are working on a new dashboard. You will be able to follow users and artists that interest you. The Dashboard will be similar to a live stream on Facebook, where you will have a real time view of what your followers/friends are listening to, liking, engaging and doing things around the site. This will make it fun and easy to discover new music and artists on Mugasha. Stay tuned, more information on this is coming soon. 

Styles.
They are coming soon. You will be able to find sets and shows tagged with various styles (genres).  

iPhone and Android mobile apps. 
We are close to launching the Mugasha beta iPhone and Android applications. More information and form to signup for the free beta app next week.
