Voting forms are now live on each mix, underneath the posts.
The forms should take no more than a minute to fill in, and each one has some space to leave comments on specific tracks and give feedback to the mix creator. The idea is that rather than having a behemoth of a voting form to fill out in six months after we are all sick of the mixes, let’s do individual forms that we can work on as we listen. This makes the listening process more interactive. Additionally, this gives each album the opportunity to get rated on its own merits rather than against one another. Also people that haven’t listened to all the mixes can give their own feedback on the ones they have listened to. Think of it more like restaurant reviews!
Each form is designed so that you can pop in and jot down a thought every time you listen. Maybe change a rating, or add a paragraph or track to the feedback section. The weighting of the rating system is also balanced toward how well an album is put together as a whole, rather than a pop battle of the coolest tracks that suit the most peoples tastes.
There will be a final voting form to decide the winner of the Jimmy Mix over all, this form should also take less than a minute to fill in.
- Vote as you listen, update as often as you like
- Anyone can vote, lurkers, friends and family welcome. Even if you did not submit an album
- The form may be tweaked as we go, I am open to cool suggestions. The main idea is to keep it lightweight and simple.
