OK, I'll admit that the new design seems like an improvement to me. There are definitely some layout bugs to be fixed, and I wish they'd simply give up on the excerpt-and-"more..." strategy, but I think the tabs organize the information better and more accessibly than the one long scrolling page, and the visual design is an order of magnitude better. The old layout had had ninety different things wedged into it over time, and this one looks like an earnest attempt to re-account for everything they have. Sound clips have been the most glaring AMG omission for a long time, so I'm pretty excited to see those. The complete song list for each artist is also a useful new feature, and I don't mind registering to get it. I've given a lot more personal information to site I get a lot less use out of than All Music. More could be done, including some laughably easy things that just result from bad decision-making (the banner, in particular, is *way* too tall), but I give them solid credit for progress. glenn ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 14 Jul 2004 10:08:03 -0700 From: "Rex.Broome" Subject: [loud-fans] RE: new AMG (from someone who can't use it) Roger, Jen, Stewart: >>>> It doesn't work with Mozilla.

David Walker, 28, was arguing with a friend at a pub in South Yorkshire, northern England, when he went home to get his sawed-off shotgun, which he jammed into his trousers. But as he walked back to the pub, the gun went off, blasting pellets into his testicles. Doctors later removed what remained of his testicles during emergency surgery. Walker admitted possessing a prohibited weapon at a hearing in June at the court in Sheffield. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 14 Jul 2004 16:49:36 EDT From: JRT456@aol.com Subject: Re: [loud-fans] several cases of mistaken identity later...
