Portfolio: Corona Music Mexico

posted by sacah on Mar 31, 2012 portfolio,

A music driven promotion website, launched down in Mexico recently. People can redeem vouchers from their Corona packages for credits that they can spend streaming or downloading music.

The initial design and HTML/CSS were created by a 3rd party Mexican agency, as I added functionality to the pages and further changes came through, I ended up re-writting much of the CSS and many of the HTML pages to solve cross browser issues, polish the design and facilitate functionality.

Most of the functionality is handled by Javascript, AJAXing to a BE which returns JSON. It features Music listings, creating/editing of playlists, sharing of artists and albums via Facebook, and the ability to stream 30sec and full length tracks via the Flash player.

I had to make heavy customisations to the Flash player to support next track pre-caching, streaming token retrieval, add to playlist, and purchase/download buttons for currently playing song.

I also built the simple HTML/CSS for a feature phone version of this site, and assisted the BE developers in supporting these devices for streaming.
