We now extract album art from uploaded music!

Developers can even add this art to Tumblr themes with:

{block:AlbumArt}
    <img src="{AlbumArtURL}" />
{/block:AlbumArt}

And access Artist, Album, and Track information like this:

{block:Artist}
    Artist: {Artist}
{/block:Artist}

{block:Album}
    Album: {Album}
{/block:Album}

{block:TrackName}
    Track: {TrackName}
{/block:TrackName}

Your recommendations are live!

Thousands of you have already added your favorites to the Tumblr Directory, and have helped us find TONS of awesome new blogs to follow. Keep it up! We’ll go again next Tuesday.

Make your nomination if you haven’t yet!

PS. Depending on how well this works out, we’ll probably be replacing our editor’s picks with your recommendations. Sorry, Chris.

Tumblr Reads: Recap

Last Friday we were lucky enough to host some of Tumblr’s most esteemed writers for a reading here in New York City. You guys were phenomenal. Thank you so much to everyone that joined us and helped make this possible!

In case you weren’t one of the 350+ people (!!) to make it out, we’ve immortalized the event on tumblr.com/reads. Get info on the readers, print out the program, and reblog the literally billion photos of these beautiful bloggers!
