I am still tweaking things here and there but overall the new layout is functional. There are areas I will be changing like the Community Page. I wanted to keep that similar to the old Mixposure Main Page but I hate the layout right now. The artist pages look pretty good to me. It will take awhile for facebook to index the pages so audio appears there so give it some time.

One of the things I would mention is that on your artist page you will see a small camera image on the top left. If you click that you can then add a Cover Image to your page. The image should have a width of 1280px and will resize the height. You may need to pay with that a bit. Also while you are in the area, toward the top you will see a Customize Tab. Here you can also set a background image but mre importantly you can set you default landing page in the Profile Index drop down. I found out that not everyone knew you could set your "home" page. Most have it set to Audio but you can set it to whatever.

I know not everyone is accepting of change. Since I work in the software industry, change is a daily event and I have embraced it over the years. The new layout is similar in nature but we are trying to keep it more modern and basically fresh.

Thanks,

Todd

Yvonne J created this remarkable video to encapsulate and unify with the song Together We Stand, by Chris Georgiou and myself. We hope you enjoy!

Hello Mix family,

Please join me for a special dedication of tonight's show for our Mixster Sister Trisha Crawford. Trish is a staunch devoted member of this collective family we call Mixposure/Mixstream and my intent is to let her know how grateful we are that she is here with us.

Y'all know the time, the room, and where your chair is. Come on in and kick your shoes off and let's have a really good time.

I am sorry about people seeing "Maintenance Mode" periodically but we are doing a bit of an overhaul on Mix. You will start seeing me jumping back and forth between the old site and the new site. There is a lot of work to be done but I think the artist pages rock! If you cant figure out how to get there, click your image icon in the top right.

Apologies for Mixposure being down yesterday. Our server got corrupted after a reboot which happens at times but it is never fun to get things back online. Luckily I have a friend (Thanks Brian) who's Linux skills are much better than mine who was able to get everything backup and running last night.

Sorry for the down time and thanks again Brian!

Music became an inseparable part of our lives. We listen to it on our way to work, it helps us focus, calm down, and relax, but it also is a great source of entertainment. On-demand music streaming services have taken the world by storm and revolutionized the way we listen to music. Thanks to streaming platforms and mobile applications we can play our favourite albums on the go and discover new artists whenever we want and wherever we are. The choice of music streaming sites is immense, so today we bring you a selection of the best streaming services available on the market. Read on to find out what they are.

Spotify

Although it does not have the biggest catalogue of music, Spotify seems to be a leader in the world of music streaming services and a top contender to the title of the most user-friendly music streaming site out there, as it comes with an innovative feature which enables the users to listen to music offline through Spotify mobile apps. Spotify is available through all major platforms such as Windows, Blackberry, iOS and Android. The service is free, but subscription is required. You can purchase a premium package which removes adds and grants access to higher-quality audios or sign up for $1 trial period.

Pandora

Pandora is a unique blend of music streaming site and recommendation service. It matches your music preferences with audio files available in the database using effective algorithms. Pandora is only available in the U.S., Australia and New Zealand, however, you can go around these limitations by using a virtual private network to access all functionalities of this platform wherever you are. Using VPN is also good for additional protection, especially if you access music streaming platforms via unprotected, public WiFi. Check out VPN reviews on Secure Thoughts and enjoy safe streaming from any location.

Deezer

Boasting an impressive number of over 40 million songs, Deezer is one of the oldest on-demand music services. It was developed in 2007 in France and since then has gained millions of subscribers worldwide. As of 2013 Deezer had over 16 million unique monthly active users and 5 million paid subscribers. Unlimited access is available for free for the first month and after that period streaming is restricted to two hours a day. Of course you can remove all restrictions for a small fee.

iHeartRadio

Although iHeartRadio is commonly categorised as an Internet radio platform, it definitely is so much more than that. It actually is an all-encompassing music recommendation service, radio stations network and advanced streaming site which lets you access live radio talk shows and podcasts. Through iHeartRadio you can create your own custom-made radio stations featuring music selected from millions of songs available through the platform.

The Sixty One

Taking its name from the legendary Route 61 , T61 is favourite music streaming site of artists and alternative music lovers due to its democratic take on music rankings. On The Sixty One the fans decide what's hot and what's not , as the service features a voting system designed to promote the tracks upvoted by the fans. Through the site you can communicate with other listeners, artists, and discover rising stars of your favourite music genre, let it be blues, R&B, rock, experimental or alternative music.

Since the beginning of 21 st century we see a revolution in the music industry directed towards more accessible music resources online. Multiple services were developed, but not all of them stood the test of time. These top 5 music streaming sites, however, are standing strong and provide excellent service to millions of music fans worldwide. Do not hesitate to give them a try!
