Public sets, the set library and festival pages

By Ryan Poser, who builds ryser.idUpdated First published

The short answer

Every set you analyse is private until you choose Make public and copy link; then it gets a page anyone can open without an account, with every track ryser.id named, its time, where to buy it and links to the track and artist pages. Next to those, the set library identifies the most watched new DJ sets by itself every day, marked Automatically scanned and unchecked, and festival pages collect the sets of each festival. Rows nobody named read ID - ID, and anyone signed in can suggest a name with Fix this ID.

In short

Private by default
Only you see a set until you choose Make public and copy link. You can make it private again at any time.
A public page shows
Every named track with its time, BPM, key, where to buy it, and links to its track and artist pages. No account needed to read it.
Rows without a name
Read ID - ID. Anyone signed in can suggest a name with Fix this ID.
The set library
The most watched new DJ sets, identified automatically every day. A set gets a page once at least half of its time is named, with at least 8 tracks.
Festival pages
Festival tracklists: every public set from a festival, series or venue, by year.

Making a set public

Every analysis starts private: only you can see it. On a finished set, choose Make public and copy link. The set gets a page of its own that anyone can open, logged in or not, and the link is on your clipboard to share. Make it private again whenever you like: the page and its listings go, and search engines drop it on their next visit.

What a public set page shows

  • The tracklist. Every track ryser.id named, in order, with the time it starts, BPM and key. Tap a row to play the set from there.
  • Where to buy each record, and tiles to open it on the streaming platforms.
  • A page per track and per artist. A track page lists every set the record was played in; an artist page shows the sets an artist played and the tracks of theirs other DJs played.
  • ID - ID rows. A row is named in public only when ryser.id stands behind the name. Every other row reads ID - ID, as DJs write it, and asks who knows it.
  • Want. A visitor can keep any record in their own crate, with a free account.

The page never shows your email address or account details: only the set's title, the uploader and thumbnail from the platform, and the tracklist.

Fix this ID

Under a row of any public set, a signed-in visitor can confirm the name or suggest another record, with a link as evidence. On a set somebody owns, the owner sees the suggestion and decides. On a library set, suggestions are reviewed every week and the page updates. How names from other DJs are weighed is on crowd IDs.

The set library

The set library picks the most watched new DJ sets from public channels every day and identifies them by itself. Nobody checks those tracklists, so their pages say Automatically scanned and unchecked, and show how much of the set was identified. A library set only gets a page once its named tracks cover at least half of the set's time, with at least 8 tracks; until then it has no tracklist to show. Search the library for a DJ, an event or a track.

Festival pages

Festival tracklists gathers the public sets of each festival, series, venue and radio station: Tomorrowland, Awakenings, Boiler Room, Cercle and many more. A festival has a page for all its years and one per year, with the tracks played most and the DJs who played. Your own set joins a festival's page when you make it public and its title names the festival. How to find the tracklist of a festival set walks through it.

IDs wanted, artist pages and genres

IDs wanted lists the tracks nobody has named yet in this week's most watched public sets, each with the moment to listen at, and the tracks the community named. Artists and DJs has one page per artist: the sets they played and their tracks heard in other DJs' sets. Library sets, festival sets and the sets people shared all feed the genre pages and the charts of the tracks that turn up most.

Questions

What does Automatically scanned and unchecked mean?

The set comes from the set library: ryser.id picked it from public channels and identified it by itself, and nobody has checked the tracklist yet. The names are a strong lead, not a promise; listen before you buy.

Can I fix an ID on somebody else's set?

Yes, on any public set, once you are signed in: under a row, Fix this ID lets you confirm the name or suggest another one, with a link as evidence. On a set somebody owns, they see your suggestion and decide. On a library set, suggestions are reviewed every week and the page updates.

Who can see my sets?

Nobody but you, until you make a set public. A public set appears on its own page, can turn up on IDs wanted, on artist, track, genre and festival pages, and in search engines. Make it private again and its page goes; search engines drop it on their next visit.

Is my email address shown on a public set?

No. A public page shows the set's title, the uploader and thumbnail from the platform, and the tracklist. Your account details stay private.

Why does a row on a public set say ID - ID?

A public page shows a row's name only when ryser.id stands behind it. Every other row reads ID - ID, the way DJs write a track nobody has named. What ID means in a tracklist.
