Our Simple, yet effective design.

Below are simple descriptions of all the features that are included in the new MusicBox
Themes - Various themes will be used on the MusicBox and will change daily, the purpose of the themes is to add a bit of fun, introduce members to genres they wouldn't normally listen to and also stop any arguments that may occur over the music choice being played. It gives everyone a fair chance to listen to the music they like. Themes can be discussed and voted upon at any point on the forum. It is advised members stick to the themes and any trolling of the requests feature will be dealt with by a moderator.
Requests - Request are time based therefore it'll be first come first serve. Requests can simply be made by inserted an audio file from your chosen device and uploading it to the MusicBox, they must be related to the current theme of that day.
Trends - Whilst not directly linked to the MusicBox the trends feature will be linked to the most active and recent threads that are currently made in the music forum so you'll never miss any of the latest talking points. Trends will be automatically updated every hour, on the hour.
Trends Archive - Again whilst not directly linked to the MusicBox the trends archive will give members the option to look back and see what artists were being discussed at what time.
Shoutbox - The Shoutbox is a way to chat directly to forum members whilst you enjoy listening to the music, preferably the discussions will be mostly music related as to not detract from the general chat threads on the forum. The shoutbox will also be moderated.
Changing Colour Scheme- The ever changing colour scheme makes the MusicBox feel fresh and new every time a new song plays. The colour scheme is based on the 3 most present colours in the single cover of the song that is playing, standing out clearly on a black background ever time! As you see in the photo above the 3 main colours on Britney Spears' single cover for 3 are Pink, White and Black. (The blue and white font will remain with everything else changing colour)
Rating/Ranking system - When a song is playing members will get the options to rate the song, this rating then adds to an overall ranking of all members who have participated in the musicbox. The member with the best overall ranking at the end of the year will carry this award on their profile to show their achievement.

Times- The MusicBox is NOT designed to play 24 hours a day, the idea is it would be open it at various times during the week. (forums most popular times) That way it gives time for members to request songs.
We would like to thank you for reading and politely ask if you have any questions? :spin:
