- About Stones7.com
- As a visitor, when can I expect a new country discography ?
Almost every week, picked up randomly among 58 countries.
The song of the day depends on its original US or UK release as a single vs the current date. - Is there anything for sale on this site?
Nope. There is nothing for sale on this site. Yet, 300+ Rolling Stones items are for sell or trade there. - About the CDRom version of Stones7.com. What does it contains and is it still available? Will there be a new edition of it?
The CDRom edition was made in 2002 and contains the whole 7" worldwide discography, that is to say the whole site at the time [including all countries and songs browsing] minus a few features [pixerama, lantern, links]; In total, more than 3000 entries, dispatched into more than 8000 files and 1000s of pictures. There will be no reprint. A few are still available here [important! : it will solely work for Internet Explorer users on Windows - yet pictures will always be browsable one by one through folders exploration on any OS of course].
- I already own the CDRom. Is membership really a bonus?
Frankly yes. Since the CDRom was made, more than 2 thousands of new entries and pictures have been added, as well as 'pictures' navigation modes, a price guide, search engine, and the ability to sort results or build up lists. The current layout and expanded content will only remain available online.
- How long has Stones7.com been running for?
Since 2000, this site has been a reference for most hard-core fans, collectors, and some writers. It still stands out of the crowd and offers more valuable and accurate information than any publication because it is updated daily and most complete.
- Why all content is not free of access?
This site is the fruit of a passion and is a very tough work of mine, utterly time consuming to update, and of course costly. By participating for the price of a museum ticket, a member helps to keep it alive and up-to-date harsh collectors information. There is no profit out of it [unlike books published using these datas].
- Do you have plans for a book ?
A book has been written on the Japanese 7" discography for fun, but no book could contain the mass of info, details and accuracy that this site offers. Such project would be an environment crime at unrealistic production costs.
I also especially chose to publish through the web because it makes updates possible - there is a new entry on this site almost every other day, interactivity a real plus, the hyperlink is ideal for cross-references, and because there is much more to watch than to read on the topic, isn't it? - Do you have plans for a mobile version ?
Stones7.com has been built for desktop computers in the first place. Every country has its own design, most pages are crafted individually and use many large tables for confortable data displaying. This is the editor's choice to not go into full responsiveness which would mean few templates and extreme poorness in design.
The site may still behave acceptably on smaller devices like tablets, but browsing it through a cell phone should not be a confortable experience - although harmless for your device. Depending on the demand, an app may be created in the future for the search engine though.

CDRom & design of Stones7.com - 2000-2010
Version 1 - created in 2000 and displaying in a fixed-width window, as its CDRom counterpart - closed down by the end of 2011 [note that the old CDRom version from 2002 solely works on Windows with old browsers enabling the Flash plugin].
In 2015, code & design were entirely revised for version 2 to fit with desktops and the new HTML5 standards.
