Add tracks to playlists on the fly

It's now easier than ever to add tracks to your playlists - just click on the "Add" button when you've opened a playlist and type in the first characters of an artist. tunesBag will provide you with a list of tunes performed by this artist stored in your library. To add the track to the playlist just click on the desired item and it will appear at the bottom of your playlist!

Now supporting playlist artworks

A playlist needs some sort of individual artwork - it's now possible to add an image to a playlist! The image will be shown when playing the playlist and we'll add support to our iPhone and Desktop application as well!

In order to add an image to an existing playlist, just click on the edit icon and upload the desired image from your harddisk. We're supporting JPEG images with a max. size of 3MB.

tunesBag now supports custom artwork images embedded in audio files

tunesBag now supports custom artwork images - images embedded in your audio files will be displayed when available. Note: This feature is only available for audio files uploaded from this day onwards.

Below you can find a screenshot of a podcast audio file with a custom artwork image.

Updated upload management - Tracks appear now much faster in your library

We're proving you with several ways to upload your tunes collection to tunesBag.com - a native uploader for iTunes, by email, web upload etc. Several users complained last week that the processing of the uploaded items took quite a long time - this was caused by our precence on TechCrunch (Digital Music Streaming Startup tunesBag Releases Desktop Application) and a lot of people uploading a lot of tracks at the very same time.

Our service (including streaming to the iPhone & Desktop app) was online the whole time but this traffic hit was a good reason to adopt our logic of handling the uploaded files. We modified the system slightly and now the first tracks uploaded by you will appear much faster, usually within one or two minutes in your online library!

tunesBag launches Desktop Radio Application (for Win, Mac & Linux)

Today we've released the first version of our brand new Desktop Radio Application. This application provides access to your own playlists and other public playlists without using a browser - it's a native player application available for Windows, Mac & Linux!

Below you can see some screenshots:

• Player interface
  Play/Pause, Skip, Browse the current playlist
• Search
  Just like in the web interface, enter a name of an artist (e.g. Coldplay), name of a playlist (e.g. Relaxed) or genre (e.g. Pop) - we'll provide you with a list of matching playlists!
  
• Mini - Mode
  A small window that stays on top and gives you control over the current playlist items
  

How to install the application

1. Install the Adobe AIR runtime (it's free and available for Windows, Mac & Linux): http://get.adobe.com/air/
2. Download and install our Desktop Radio application: http://tunesbag.com/res/download/software/desktopradio/tunesBagDesktopRadio.air
