I’m excited to tell you all about the new polls feature we just rolled out on Boombox.
This feature was requested by artists who want to include their fans in decisions like the selection of their next single, song order in their album, and even mix versions. It’s also been requested by producers who are looking for a simple voting system in order to determine which mix version is preferred by their collaborators.
Here’s how it works…
Create your poll
Click over to the new “Polls” tab in the global nav bar. Click “create poll” in the top right corner, then add a custom poll name, and even a custom note greeting your voters.
Once that’s done, select the audio files you’d like to collect votes on. Easily search your audio files in your Boombox drive, or upload new files directly into the poll.
How to share your poll
The links to any poll you create will be open to anybody, meaning anyone can access it, whether they have a Boombox account or not. For some visual flair, your tracks will be assigned one of 4 colors to differentiate them, plus your poll will feature your Boombox account’s avatar picture at the top!
You can view a preview of what your poll will look like via the “preview” button.
Now just copy the link via the share button, send it to anybody you want, and wait for those votes to start rolling in. It’s that simple.
Soon, we’ll be adding the ability to add expiration dates to your polls, as well as custom artwork.
That’s all for now! Please feel free to reply to this email with any thoughts or feedback. We’re hard at work on a bunch of new goodies we’ll be rolling out in the coming weeks and I’ll be in touch as those become available.
Wishing you the best of luck out there with your music and, as always, happy creating.
