Two weeks ago, we updated the wishlist feature of the site. We had been receiving a number of request for the wishlist and thought it was one part of the site that deserved a nice update.

You may have already seen many of the new features, but if you haven’t yet used the wishlist or discovered all the cool features, here’s a list of updates:

- Fully redesigned: New buttons, new slick look, new graphics, new features, etc.
- Sorting is updated. You can sort with new criteria (such as by ‘latest added’ and ‘release date’) and it will remember your sort selection for your next visit.
- Print wishlist: Has the new design and you can now print using the current sort selection.
- Hover and click for detail view: Click anywhere on a row to expand to a detail view.
- Much easier rating: Rate by selecting the stars below the cover artwork in the detail view (also, when you add a new title, it will automatically have a rating of 0 instead of 1).
- Better stock status indication in the detail view.
- Notes: Add your own personal notes to each title. These notes are visible on your public wishlist as well (see below).
- See a title’s release date.
- Highlight preorders: Quickly highlight those titles in your wishlist that have yet to be released.
- See the date for when you added the title to your wishlist.
- Email a title directly from the wishlist or share through Facebook or Twitter.
- Categories: Add your own custom categories and keep track of titles based on your preferences. For example, add a “Birthday wishes” category and share with your friends and family by making the category public. Any title and any public category will be visible to the individuals you share your publish wishlist link with.
- Updates: This is probably the coolest feature! Now, when you login to your wishlist, you’ll be able to see any updates that happened with any of the titles in your wishlist since the last time you logged in (or deleted the update(s) from that particular title). These updates include front and back cover notifications, price reduction notification, region free confirmation reminder, and “now released” updates. This way, you won’t necessarily need to sign up for reminders on the product pages, but just login to your AxelMusic.com account to see the updates for titles in your wishlist! You can choose to delete updates or keep the updates around for next time, if you still want to leave the reminder around.
- Wishlist badge: When browsing the store, titles that are in your wishlist will now appear with a small orange badge in the top right corner. This badge indicates that are title is in your wishlist (see image in the top).

Furthermore, we’ve added a cool new feature: “Your Updates!” Any updates for titles in your wishlist are automatically added to your “Your Updates!” box, visible on the right below the basket when you’re logged in to your AxelMusic.com account. Any order history updates (such as shipped and packing confirmations) will also appear in your “Your Updates!” box, keeping you 100% up to date on your orders and wishlist everytime you visit the store. For the wishlist, these updates include the same as those described above.

We hope you’ll love the new features as much as we do, and if you have any comments and suggestions, please do not hesitate to email me at rm@axelmusic.com.
