I see my song was approved today, but for some reason it's showing a broken image in the listings. It's the first listing in electronic ( http://musicfellas.com/aband_nthecar ). I've uploaded a photo for both my profile and the album, but I can't seem to re-upload an album image to check if that's the issue. Thanks, and good luck on the site! :)
Sorry about that, should be fine now :)
It's interesting to me that you see yourself as spotify + itunes, as the comparison that immediately struck me is Bandcamp + recommendations and the ability to queue up tracks. It certainly seems like the value you bring to artists is very similar to bandcamp - I suppose your differentiator here is discovery? Are you planning to allow sales of physical items as well? I'm a big fan of buying the vinyl release + immedi…
About the nitpicks: 1. This was to avoid user accidentally clicking and losing the music queue. Now that we've added a js check, we should certainly remove it. 2. We had to shut it down because of the spam. I know we could do captcha, but then we realized most of the feedback anyway came from signed up users.
thumbnail those images! you'll drastically cut page speed. other than that, site looks good!
I really like the design. Your logo is especially nice. There are a lot of buttons, but the interface seems to be well organized. I got a good selection of music just from the front page. Would you consider adding a radio option that's based on a song or an artist, like Pandora and Spotify do? Have you considered doing a variable pricing model like Amie Street did back in the day? The more popular a track or album is…
Thanks for the nice feedback :) Radio based on artist is already under the works, we should have that out soon. Variable pricing does seem like a good option. We'll have to explore this further & see how that goes well with the artists. Because they and they alone control the pricing for now. We however do a have a "pay what you want" feature right now, something people have used more often than not. Again, thanks fo…
AFAIK, there is independent music on Spotify. I've seen a lot of small artists on it and the platform has a lot of visibility so most of these artists will try to go there. So I was wondering how you can manage to get your "contracts". It seems also there are only english songs. The problem is that we often look for the artists of our country when we are looking for indies. Is it something which will change or do you…
Certainly, they do have independent music, but mostly procured through "independent" labels. We are truly indie and all our music is directly uploaded by the artists here http://musicfellas.com/artist In addition to this, we make discovery super simple and you can also support the artists by buying their music. We do have non-english music, unfortunately there is no easy way to search by language right now. We should…

Does this mean you have chosen not to work with labels (indie or otherwise) or just that the majority of takeup has been from unsigned artists?
