Picking the correct song #9

Sometimes it is impossible with the current interface to pick the song that you want.

The most concrete example is when a remix is more popular than the original version. If I wanted to add the song "You and Me" by Disclosure, than making that query to Jamocracy would add the Flume remix, since it is more popular. We need to come up with a method that would allow users to add the original version.

We just take what is in the text and send it right to the Spotify API. This means you can use the minus sign to ignore words. Sending "you and me disclosure -remix" seems to have worked for me.

Ah cool, wasn't aware of the extended search options available. I still think making some sort of interface for picking between search results with similar relevance would be a good feature.
