But IE literally cannot handle my Ajax calls and JavaScript functions. AlbumSpotter is not a company or anything it’s just a little project I put together one weekend. At the moment I do not have time to completely re-write the array based JavaScript algorithm I wrote to work with that horrible excuse for a browser, so give it a try when you get home with a real browser that can handle modern web technologies if you really like the idea or want to give it another try. But I do apologize for not supporting IE, it’s just too obnoxious, and I don't have time to make AlbumSpotter work with IE right now. Mike, thanks for trying it out, it surely does show the latest 'material' from a specific artist, including re-releases, DVD's, and documentaries, but most of the time it's new albums. That’s why I didn’t call it MaterialSpotter. But I personally made the site so I can keep up to date with any new material from my favorite artists, whether it is a DVD or re-release. Sorry if that’s not what you’re looking for. Thanks, Steve Paul, I understand how it must be a disappointment being forced to use IE and all because you are at work.

It seems you cannot use Internet Explorer (even version 8). You get an error claiming that your "browser, Internet Explorer, can not handle the modern web technologies used in this application. Please click OK to upgrade...". Clicking on the link takes you to the Firefox installation page. To exclude a large market segment (and some, as in my case, are a captive market due to my work's SOE preferences) seems a bit rough. Anyone tried it on Safari? Gotta say I’m very disappointed.

So if an older album is put out is rereleased then that is what appears. It shows the latest album *edition*, not the latest release.
