iLike site overhaul adds more new features! :-)

We recently overhauled the "MyHome" area of iLike, creating room for a bunch of new features! (Some of these new featuresare still slightly harder to find)

1. New "Friends" tab on MyHome

The new Friends tab shows what’s going on with your friends’ music. You can click any friend to quickly see what music they've recently started listening to. Get notified when friends add music to their iTunes library or to their profile on iLike. Power-users, you can even use the cursor keys to quickly jump from one friend's music data to the next)




2. New song playback, better for sharing
When you play songs on iLike.com you now get convenient tabs to learn more about a song or share it with friends. The "Save for later" button makes it very easy to save a song to your wishlist. And there are separate tabs to see who else has a song, to add a song to your profile, or to send it to friends. Note: we've renamed "My Picks" to be "Songs iLike". Also, we no longer let you send a song recommendation to all friends. You can send songs to individual friends, or to your highest-compatibility friends. To broadcast a song to everybody, simply add it to "Songs iLike" and it will show up in your friends' music feed.

3. Improvements in our charts
The charts on iLike now show "fastest moving" songs, and also songs most played among your network of friends. We will continue innovating in the area of charts, so stay tuned!


4. Browse emerging artists
This feature is still mostly hidden, but if you find the emerging artists page, you can browse   MP3s from GarageBand artists for any genre. Subscribe to a free feed of weekly MP3s directly delivered to your iTunes



5. Name That Tune - challenge your friends!
The Name That Tune quiz is officially open for all users - pit your wits against your friends and see who can get the highest score. :-)


 
We hope you enjoy all these new features! Send us feedback via the contact link in our customer service center

I love the new changes but I noticed you removed a feature that I really loved. I liked when you opened the info on a song you listened to you could see which of your friends had listened to that song too. Now if you click on "Listeners" it shows all members who have listened to that song, even people who aren't your friends. Is there a way to include both? I don't mind seeing non friend who have also listened to the song, but I prefer even more to only see which of my friends did.

Hi Jakki,

Thanks for the feedback! We include both types of listeners, friends and non-friends, but we show them all together with friends listed first (we try to split it evenly between friends and non-friends).

Note that you won't see any friends if you're not signed in.

IN foxfire you can't see the friends list on your main page, it does show up on the profile page. Is there a fix for this?
