New AllMusic Feature - User Profiles & Sharing Your Album Lists

New AllMusic Feature - User Profiles & Sharing Your Album Lists

By Zac Johnson

Sep. 9, 2014

By popular request, we’ve launched a new feature on AllMusic that lets you share your custom lists of albums with your friends. By creating your user profile you can tell people what you’re listening to now or share your list of desert island discs with the world.



Your AllMusic Profile
To create your AllMusic User Profile so you can share your lists, simply navigate to the Profile Settings page in your user account and create your unique URL. If you’ve signed in with Facebook, your profile picture will show up automagically, and you can write a bio for yourself or remain mysterious. You can see your profile page by clicking on "My Profile" at the top of any page.



Making Your Lists Public Or Keeping Them Private
Once you’ve created your user profile, your public lists will be displayed in alphabetical order. Have no fear, your lists are all private by default, but by toggling them to “Public” you’ll be able to let the world know your personal take on what’s worth listening to.



Public or Private



Sharing Your Lists With The World
Once a list is public, you can now send it to Facebook, Twitter, Google+ or via email, simply by clicking the share icons at the top of each list page. You can also see what your profile looks like to other people by selecting the “Public View” on your profile page.



Keeping Your Friends Connected With Your Favorite Music
As music fans, we know how hard it can be to clue other people into your music knowledge, which is why we're so excited to introduce this feature that makes it easier for you to share your favorites and recent discoveries.



This is only the first step. We’re working on allowing for more cool things like sharing your collection and making your album ratings visible to the world at large if you choose to do so.
