Really like this. Now a few songs in from the hot recommendations on your homepage and already hooked. I have a small side venture that could be a nice integration point for your artists (free as well). If interested, email is in my profile.

#32Loving it! Keep doing what you're doing. One thing I just noticed-- I clicked the Like button which then prompted me to sign up. After doing that I was returned to the same page, but had to click the like button. It's a small thing but applying the action that prompted the signup automatically instead of having to redo it would be a bit of a usability enhancement. Also, an edit button on an already submitted review w…
Nice catch, noted.

#33I really like the design, it's much cleaner than Spotify or Rdio. A few things though:
- I have an error icon next to my name in the sidebar, that says I need to complete my profile. I really don't think not having a bio should warrant a this kind of warning. (Maybe a notification instead?)
- I logged in with Facebook, and my country and profile url weren't auto filled out. That's a little weird.
- No last.fm (or libre.fm) support. For me this is a deal breaker. If it doesn't scrobble, I don't listen to it. I'm sure there are other people out there who feel the same.
What formats are the downloads available in?

#34Awesome.
One important improvement: If you're going to use a "metal hand" as the icon for your Like button, you really need to add a :hover{margin-top:-2px;} to it so that pumps up and down as expected when you mouse over it.
Like the example here:

Brilliant idea. Thanks!

#36Very clean design and the UI is really nice to use - great site and great music :) I would suggest however to show genre on the "What's Hot" list or add filtering by genre like on the "Explore" list.
Thanks :) Genre on what's hot seems to be a popular demand.

#37Shameless plug: A friend of mine down here in Charlottesville, VA is doing a related project ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6302124 ). It's Pandora-like internet radio for local bands and bands coming to town for upcoming gigs. Thought it might be of interest.

#38Hm, I get no music and no indication why.
Any chance that you would add free music aka music by people who want their art listened without anyone having to pay?

I can't tell you how happy that makes us :)
1,2. Fair enough. 3. That is definitely on our to-do list. Should be out soon.
Downloads by default are in 320kbps mp3 for now. For any other format, you can make a purchase & shoot us an email.

Looks like you can just set your price to 0 and it becomes free.
