Ohhh, I see it in list view. :) I haven't switched out of table view since I started using the site. Also I've been almost exclusively using the mobile site, you do have to scroll in list view to see the notes. I'll try out the tags. Can you see others' notes/tags? I don't see them, but maybe I'm missing that too. I think it would be cool to bring the social aspect in there too. I left a comment on my own "Want to Listen" post yesterday for the purpose I'm thinking about.

It definitely would be cool to see if people click "want to listen" from someone else, I've already seen albums move from profile to profile. You could even track how each album spreads, and show a "virality" chart...how "contagious" it is, and then how many people actually listen or dig the album eventually.

Still having a lot of fun with this, thanks again!

Yeah the list view is not suitable for mobiles since it's a table. I'll have to come up with another way to display the tags and notes in the thumb view. I've put a ticket to tackle it, because apparently more people are using this on mobile every day.

So notes are private, but for tags I have a ticket to add a setting to choose if it's going to be public or private. Right now they're private. I think I'll prioritize this.

That's a neat idea, it never occurred to me, thanks! Added it to the backlog.

As a minor suggestion, if a comment talks about a release in general (like a review), then it might be more suitable for it to be added on the release page (as opposed in a "Listened" or "Digged" activity item). If you scroll down on a release page, you'll see a "Community discussion" section, and if you add a comment there, it will appear in your activity feed.
