I can’t hide the player like i used to do..
the super human text looks nice yes, but
I miss being able to see all the songs in
a nice neat area and hide in in the corner
of my screen

[...] they released the update. The initial version scrapped their Flash popup player and judging by the feedback, people were not too pleased. They’ve subsequently updated the site to include a popup player [...]

I’ll just agree with what’s been said 1,000 times already. I liked the flashplayer because then I could have it open while browsing other things on hypemachine. I miss it, I miss it, I miss it!

I think it really stinks that you got rid of the popup flash players. some of us don’t have enough money to buy whatever music we want. When I buy an album, I want to make sure I really like the artist and want to support it. I would come to hypemachine and check them out before I bought anything. Please bring it back.

What’s happened with hypemachine? Till now it has been a good solid tool to me. Good for getting and sharing information, hear and judge, work with, buying perhaps something somewhere later on. Plain and useful, perhaps to improve in details.
Now this is a toy for old children. You may keep it in a bag and…

O Lord…

I’m listening to the Hype Machine much more than I ever did. Knowing that I can come back to listen to my favorites made a huge difference.

I would love to have longer pages and a shuffle function.

I was really excited to see that you guys had redesigned but then quickly became _really_ sad cos all the cool features had gone. I feel completely lost and bit abandoned with this all new clunky interface.

I miss the previous HypeM. A lot. Bring it back. :/

I turned this on today after a really stressed out meeting at work to find this, at first i was happy to see a little color…….that ended quickly. there is only one reason you use this site and that is to easily find new music. The ease of use is gone and therefore the reason to use this site. I can go around and “heart” every blog I listen to but that does not solve my problem. The flashplayer was the primary feature 99% of the people here used. I know I am repeating what others said.. but…power in numbers. I also understand you need to make money too, we all do, lets face it, but to remove the reason this site excists and make another music site is simply foolish. Please include the flashplayer or someone will reproduce it elsewhere and people will flock there, it’s that simple. If i knew code you bet your ass i would waste a day of work making that and replicating what you did. you had a semi perfect product which was brought to users from a person with like minded needs. Now your needs have changed but the mass has not and you have alienated your users. I’m sure that slowly your uniques will go up and people will come on board because that is what happens with social networks, but this was not a social network. I work in online advertisng and have to deal with tons and tons of sites who care more about their CPMs, Unique Users and comscore number and less about their content. this was not that kind of site, until last week…content is king

Woosh, there went my reason for coming to hypem.com. A nice place to search for “new” music and listen to it. Only secondary, and not very frequently, was the joy of reading more about it in the blogs.

Point is, I don’t want to read about new music, I want to listen to it, have a taste of it before eventually buying it..

What I like to read about, is artists I’m familiar with, learning more about them, being guided to unknown releases and histories from bloggers who knows.

But, as I’ve said: The reason I came here, was for listening to new stuff. And that I can’t no more. Away I go, then.
