All set on our end! Thanks for your patience.
Happy One Year!
The Crucial Tracks app is one year old today. Here's a look back at the last year, what I've learned, and what we've accomplished.

Today’s prompt is brought to you by our friends at @foofaraw@beep.town - couldn’t think of a better prompt submission to schedule on a day like today, in times like these.

Albums come to Crucial Tracks!
Share your 8 Desert Island Discs with the community. Can't wait to see what folks share...
And, as always, feedback/ideas are welcome. 😄
New feature for Apple Music users on Crucial Tracks!
I've added a new Playlist Manager that allows you to create (or add to) Apple Music playlists from songs you've posted or bookmarked on the site.
Bookmark songs on the Public Tracks feed and then create a discovery playlist to listen to later...
Or, backfill a recently created Song A Day playlist with your older songs...
Lot of potential, so have fun! (Let me know if you have issues.)
Crucial Releases: March 20

New Music Watch calendar has been updated!
Some of the albums I'm looking forward to in the coming months.
