Together with your photo you will be able to add a music file that will play when another user visits your photo, this way you can enhance the experience of your visitors. Accepted formats will be: MP3, Vorbis, Musepack, AAC, ATRAC.
The new feature will allow you to create Playlists (using the Widget API) with your favorite photo/music combination as music tracks can be sorted by music type.
We still want to hear the feedback from the users we selected for the test. To check whether you are in the Trusted Testers program, please check out your Settings page. And to provide feedback on this new feature please visit our Panoramio forum.
Update 29/12/2011: This was obviously a joke as today is Joke´s day in Spain and in many countries in the World. I hope you liked the idea :)
Update 29/12/2011: This has been possible due to the brain behind it Paco Armada and some accomplices: Xouba's, Draken and Cleber Lima among others. Many thanks for making this day so much fun!
Is excellent, it is a pity that we can only see so far selected users. I hope that soon the public domain. My congratulations. (translated by GT)
ReplyDeleteHmm... I'm biased about this. Personally I hate it when webpages unexpectedly force me to listen to their selected music, especially while I'm listening to something else and the music on the website is way much louder.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I don't want to waste my bandwidth on something I don't like to listen too. So I hope that the music is OFF by default, or that I can set this in my Preferences.
Now I can understand that it is a nice idea to play some specific music for a specific photo to enhance the mood. Then again, will visitors look at a photo long enough to enjoy the full experience? Also, what about copyright issues and such?
Then again, I look at it in a positive way. If you can provide a desktop-stream through the API with a playlist for the photo/music combination, that would be something nice. :-)
@Andre: This is everything we are testing and checking right now. The reason why we are publishing it is that we are testing with real users so we wanted to let everyone know before the leak happens.
ReplyDeleteYears ago I was thinking about this and I recall I've sent a mail to Eduardo asking for it. So, it is very nice to see that this will happen now!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Andre in some points, for example, I agree that it should be disabled by default, also, I'm curious about music copyrights too, but, thinking better now, if I look at the Youtube point of view and this work more less in the same way, I guess we will be just fine.
I can't see this options on example photo:

As said in the update... this was a joke for the Spanish version of April's fool day!
ReplyDelete¡Qué la inocencia nos valga!
ReplyDeletePaco:
ReplyDelete¡Nadie te iguala cuando se trata de bromas y cachondeo! ¡Felicitaciones!
Nobody can hold a candle to you when it comes to jokes and pranks (cachondeo)! Congratulations!
While there is respect, good humor must be part of our lives, life will bring it very difficult. Thanks for sharing these moments. (google translator)

ReplyDeleteGreat! Maybe a day I could link my video to my photos in Panoramio!
ReplyDeleteI tried to link it already to this my picture:

But unfortunately code of Panoramio changed the address and I was not able to link the right address. Hope soon it could be able to do! :-)
I liked this idea. Innovates quickly.
