SPOTLIGHT: Turn Your Discography Into Gold – No Alchemy Needed!

May 2nd, 2011 | Spotlight

If you’re not familiar with our Spotlight series yet, it’s basically a highlight of our power users, to show innovative ways of using our tools to distribute one’s content. This edition takes a look at record label Fool’s Gold, which has releases from artists such as Duck Sauce, Jokers of the Scene, Treasure Fingers, Kid Cudi, Laidback Luke and many more.

Fool’s Gold is a typical power user – making great use of our tools on-site to create an elegant experience off-site. Ray Ban vision is not the only type of vision they have.

As you can see above, the embedded player looks a little different from the standard players. This is a pro account feature – it lets you change the way your embedded players look until the very last detail is as you want it. This is especially useful if you want to match the players to your website’s design.

The latter is the case on the Fool’s Gold website (example) where they use the small player (as above) to embed the playlist-player of all of their releases. They did this for all of their releases, which you can check out on their site or just via official.fm.

Not only does this mean you can easily embed your music on your own site, but it also allows fans to easily share it to social networks or their blogs. Perhaps that’s why they’ve also made a player with their entire discography in it (on the left).

You should just hop over to their site, check out how they’re using these embedded players to showcase their catalogue and let it inspire you! Oh, and you can try out the PRO accounts for free as long as we’re in beta. Scroll down for more info.
