Over a year ago, I set up a Drupal powered website - FreshDynamics.net - to host my podcast, featuring music from unsigned artists & independent labels.

Previously, music was sent to me on CDs, but I've decided to start accepting tracks through the website.

I'd like to make sure that I haven't got snow-blindness, and that the interface for musicians to sign up and submit tracks for the broadcasts works smoothly.

If you have a few minutes to play with the site, please visit:
http://freshdynamics.net/user/register
and sign up as an Artist.

Once signed up, users can edit to their profile, and then click Add Track to add a track to their collection. You can press Help at any time if it doesn't make sense.

It would be great if anyone could try submitting tracks to the site. I'll presume you're just testing, so I won't include any of the tracks in a broadcast, but if you are an unsigned musician, then make a note in the track comments if you'd like me to broadcast your music.

If you're browsing the site, and can think of any cool modules that could improve the site experience, feel free to make a comment on my rough roadmap.

If there's anything that's broken, or that you can't understand, please do contact me, through Fresh Dynamics, through my Drupal.org contact form, or via comments below.

Many thanks to anyone who's able to give it a whirl.

Always great to see another site for unsigned music!! (and on Drupal to boot) Nice layout. Sent it over to some friends from 'West Haley' who write produce various genre of music.

Thanks for your comments. I'm just enjoying the West Haley tracks, and I'll get one on a future broadcast soon
Very kind of you to spread the word!

Fixed width works well & the page has a nice clean look. Good use of css, though it would be nice if the text could resize in IE.

My aim was for an uncluttered layout. IE has caused me all sorts of problems, but I don't know if the fixes are relatively straightforward or rather involved. Am thinking of using IE Destroyer to put something subtle at the top of the page....

it's a real pain getting css to work even just in IE and Firefox.
