I think it would be nice to be able to search for names of members (and perhaps more like country, instrument etc) and not only tracks

hey nilton, there is that option: go to the track search page and click on the picture with the subtitle "musician search" thats displayed on the right top of the page - i think that is exactly what you were looking for...

Apologies for the necro-bump on this, but I wanted to give some feedback. Doing as Dick suggested, and starting (coincidentally) with the letter "D", the first page of results I get looks correct in alphabetical order. Subsequent pages, though, jump all around the alphabet in no obvious order.

I wish it was about 5 years ago - I'd gleefully offer to help with the site as I was a veteran coder. Alas, retirement seems to make one go soft and forget things.

have a look at the beta version of the new site, i think there is a nice solution to this topic there:

hoping to launch the beta on the .com domain in a few weeks, still waiting for some feedback and checking googles reaction :)
thanks for joining the feedback club anyways, ThatGuy!
