Maybe this is already in wikiloops, so please forgive me if I'm asking for something that already exists.
The number of sessions will just continue to grow over time, which is a great thing. A challenge will be how users will quickly discover really hot tracks when the library becomes huge.
I love the fact that the newest tracks pop up on the home page, but how about creating a sorting option, by genre, to show sessions either in order of submission (newest on top of list), or by rating (most thumbs up to top of list).
IE> I've recently focused a lot on Reggae, and I would like to find some really good backing concepts. today, I can search by Genre, but it would take a lot of time (that I don't have) to find some of the more popular sesssions. While I have yet to find anything I don't like in the wikiloops sessions,( a lot of good musicians here) some jams just happen to be a bit more catchy that others.
Of course, part of the fun of wikiloops is finding random backing tracks, and I don't think anyone really wants a popluarity contest. However, as an optional search, it would be good to know which ones are most appreciated by other users sorted by number of thumbs up.
