How this works

One page per thing. Each says what that thing is for rather than which button to press, because the buttons are mostly obvious and the reasons are not.

THE MANUAL11 pages

?What Risocast isA public record of what you listen to, and the things it builds out of that: a ranking, a map, a card.?Logging and ratingA log is a score filed against a record, dated. Half stars are allowed. Everything else is built from these.?Writing a reviewA log with words on it. It gets its own page, its own address, and your name on it.?How the ranking is orderedTwo orders side by side: one the app works out from your listening, one you settle yourself, two records at a time.?CornerstonesThe ten records your taste is founded on. The one thing on your profile you claim rather than the app working it out.?The map of your tasteEvery record you have logged, arranged by what it is and what it means to you. Nothing is placed by hand.?The taste cardFour by five, your print and your top records. The thing you post.?Recording what you playThe desktop app reads what your machine is already playing and writes down what you actually listened to.?ListsSequences you make by hand, for the orderings the ranking will never produce.?Finding peopleOverlap is the point. Two logs, the records they share, and how far apart the scores are.?Genres, hubs and coloursEvery genre has a page, and the colour it is drawn in is voted on by the people who listen to it.

Still stuck? Everything in the app answers a right-click, and the menu bar along the top holds the things that are hard to find by pointing at them.
