New Sortings Now on Generative.fm
🕑 Added 2019-10-06 22:53:34 +0000 UTCHey folks, I just wanted to let you know that the new sortings based on global data are now on Generative.fm v1.15.0.
Rather than making one "popularity" sorting which would calculate a piece's popularity as some function of play time and favorites, I decided it would be better to offer each of those as an available sorting. So you can now sort pieces by "global play time" or "global favorites."
I've also added a sorting called "trending." This will sort a piece by its global listening time divided by the amount of time the piece has been on the site. I think this might actually be the most useful sorting, since newer pieces won't get buried just because they haven't been around long enough to rack up as much listen time as older ones.
To keep costs low, these sortings won't update very frequently -- once a day or so. But we can change that in the future.
Thanks for being patient, this definitely took longer than it should have as I spent most of September searching for a new job. I will get the next suggestion thread and work priority poll up very soon!

The trending sort is great! Iβm not surprised to see βAbove the Rainβ at the top. π
