Is there any way to change the volume?

#42great execution for all the reasons already mentioned.
since it's layout is already simple and modular, a couple of meta tags and @media styles in your CSS would be good to make it collapse down on phones for easier access to the controls

#43I have fond memories of discovering nice indie music with something called Indy, which was released in 2005 by Ian Clarke (of Freenet fame) http://blog.locut.us/2005/04/17/indy/> and featured a nice recommendation engine. Sadly, it seems to be dead now...

#44In both Firefox(ESR) and Chrome(v22) I am getting a message that I don't have the latest Flash installed. When I click on the message, adobe says I already have it. (no flash blockers enabled)

#45I love this. There's a particular song that I absolutely can't get enough of, but it isn't labeled correctly (says "Track 4 by New Artist"). I've "loved" it but do you have any suggestions for finding out what it is?

Okay, fought this for 10-15 minutes and discovered that it was my security settings in Firefox and my c-t-p settings in Chrome that were breaking things. Please switch to HTML5 or make the flash element visible.
And now that I have it up . . . how do I say this politely? This is the music of my nightmares. What genre is this? I know I've been stuck in a hole listening to classic jazz and hip-hop recordings for 10+ years, but this just sounds like dissonance and apathy. Most of the tracks I've found are less than 3 minutes long, about as tonal as Shostakovich and a bit croony?
Though, now that I typed all that, a single, solitary hip-hop track popped up after 20+ songs, and it's rather nice. So confused.

#47I love this. Thanks for putting it together! I'm not sure it will replace my beloved 3WK, but it is always great to pick-up new artists.
Well done.

#49What do you mean by "indie"? Creative Commons and other free music? Did you include the big free sites' catalogs?
It would be great if it work without Flash but I understand that this would be a major change.

#50Very good execution and a good choice for the domain name. The design (green/white/red/hearts) reminds me of http://hypem.com/ - you should check it out if you haven't. It's got a similar theme (crawl indie blogs for music) and has a pretty big following.
HypeM.com actually has a fixed set of blogs that it gets music from. I mean, I guess you could say it crawls those posts on those blogs, but it just doesnt crawl 'the web' per say. From my knowledge, HypeM has a relationship with the blogs it takes music from, in order to keep it's quality up.
