A.We've developed a recommendation system for Trackitdown which, frankly, we're extremely proud of. If you spend hours going through new release sections and only find one track that you're after, then this is the system which is going to benefit you greatly.
Select your favourite artists and record labels and add them to your individual profile by simply clicking on the "Add To My TID Favourites" button on each individual track, artist and label page. You will find this button just above the Bookmark links, as pictured below:
Once this is done, the system will automatically recommend new tracks to you once new tracks become available from the artists, labels or tracks which you have saved. Accessing this list couldn't be easier. If new tracks are available, the following link will appear in the Log In panel:
Click on "Recommended for you " and you will be taken to a page containing recommendations based on your favourites, and on your previous purchases! The system automatically works out whether you've been buying tech trance, drum & bass or funky house (for example) and will provide a list of recommendations based on your order history. Want to remove a favourite? Click on "My Account" (as pictured above), select the "Favourites" tab and click the Delete button next to the favourites you wish to remove.
You'll never need to tirelessly look through New Release sections ever again we've just made your weekly shop that much easier.
