Few changes to our UI/UX
By Matthew Ellis

Here is a summary of the improvements we made today. All of them are now live for everyone.
ARTIST AGREEMENT ON THE SITE
The full artist licence agreement can now be read at any time on our Artist Agreement page. It always shows the latest version of the agreement, so the current terms are only ever one click away.
OUR AI POLICY IS PUBLISHED
We have published a new AI Policy page that sets out exactly where we stand. In short: we do not accept AI-generated music, we never send your music or personal data to AI models, and we only use AI to help people search our publicly available catalogue metadata. The page explains each commitment in full and is linked from the footer on every page.
CLEARER, MORE ACCESSIBLE NOTIFICATIONS
The message that appears in the corner of the screen has been rebuilt:
- Each notification now carries an icon and colour that match its meaning: information, success, warning or error. The message never relies on colour alone.
- Notifications stay on screen until you dismiss them, instead of disappearing after a few seconds.
- They are announced correctly by screen readers.
- Many more situations now produce a helpful message, such as an expired session, an item that cannot be found, an unverified email address, or a permission problem.
CONSISTENT MESSAGING ACROSS THE SITE
The upgraded notification system is now used in more places, including cue sheet downloads, saved searches, search results, artist profiles and admin emails.
AI SEARCH: DESCRIPTION PREVIEWS
AI search results now show a short preview of each track's description, so you can see what a track is about before opening it. Descriptions are displayed safely and formatted cleanly, and results still display correctly when they come from an older cached response.
We hope these changes make the site easier and clearer to use. If you have any questions, please get in touch via the contact page.
