How about a new addition to every posting made?

I'd like to see a new addition or at least an option made to us on every post that we make. That is, one should be able to list the specific recording and performer that they are listening to at the time of submission. It would also be nice to have an area to submit whether the source was a CD, vinyl, satellite radio, FM broadcast, tape, computer based playback, etc...

All of this should be strictly optional and at the discretion of the poster. This would save those that didn't want to be bothered with such things the trouble of having to check certain boxes and / or those that are sitting in their office cubicles and not listening to music the trouble of having to check a box, etc... to post without including this info.

I think that this would be a "neat-o" addition to Agon's posts. Not only would it bring more of the attention back to the music, it might also give others a chance to get to see what we listen to and how we listen to it. This could lead to further discussions of specific recordings, performers, etc...

I've seen and used this over at AudioCircle and kind of liked it. What do you folks think? Sean

I like it. It may give a chance to open some other discussions, more music related than the typical 'What preamp power cord supporting device should I use?' threads.

BTW, I'm currently spinning John Coltrane's Lush Life. On Licorice Pizza of course.

Cheers,
John

Great way to find new tunes.

Etta James = CD = Live from San Francisco = song#4 Sugar On The Floor

This song has emotion. Had the pleasure to see Etta a few times in Monterey.

Seems to me they could accomplish that with a footer field that would
run at the bottom of the post - similar to the header field that carries
the subject. Just limit the characters to a bit more than the subject
header since some classical titles can be fairly lengthy.

Not really sure about the importance of the format. Personally, in
looking for musical tastes/trends in a member, I would not give that
particular detail any weight at all. Others may have more interest. The
label may be important. I suppose whether the the item is in print or
not would be good to know, but you can find that easily by going to target=_blank href=http://www.gemm.com>Gemm, or other
websites or search engines, or simply email the A'goner off the thread.

Yeah, so title, artist, label in a footer would be my suggestion.
