Below are some of the site updates I have planned for the next few months. As usual, if you have questions or ideas about the site, let me know. Feel free to post a message here on the forums, or send me an email directly.
More announcements soon... including news about our new partner and a GREAT opportunity for increased exposure for our artists.

You'll be able to upload 5min videos from your hard drive, a live cam, your mobile phone, or directly from your video camera (plugged into your USB/Firewire port). Videos will be organized by category and tags, similar to our photos section
* Site Designer - a new site designer for designing your artist and member pages
* Reviews Edit - needs to support photos, and video

Gideon 
I must praise you for the excellent features regarding song statistics, i only today realized that you could search for one song at a time per month or year or all songs per month/year and receive graphs and diagrams, amazingly useful if you have over 80 songs and are trying to decide which one you should take down according to the amount of streams/downloads. 
The video feature is something i might be interested in using so when do you think it will be ready & implemented?

Glad you like the graphs - so sorry you didn't know that was all there. I'm so bad at announcing things beyond the forums. I should have a site newsletter going out for those how opt in.
>>The video feature is something i might be interested in using so when do you think it will be ready & implemented?
I hope to have it online by the end of next month.

I've made some progress with the video integration - I'm now able:
* upload a video
* edit the video info
* re-upload a video
The video tool now supports:
* categories (like genres)
* tags
* creative commons license
I've been seeing a few problems though - it seems massive files (like 800MB) may not do well in the VideoEgg Publisher, and I've had a problem with every WMV file I've tried.
According to the VideoEgg site - they support:
* .3gp
* .3gp2
* .avi
* .dv
* .mpg
* .mpg4
* .mov
* .mqv
* .wmv
* .asf
Next up is some work on the listing and display pages for the video section of the site
