This is a beautiful player, and fast too. Thanks for open sourcing it. Great job!

Hi Tim, ToneDen looks really cool. I love the look of the live-frequency line.

I wish to incorporate aspects of the player on (http://spawnsong.com), will this work for non-soundcloud sources of music?

Do you have an e-mail that I can contact you at?

Looks really nice. Am I blind or is there no volume control? Is there a reason you chose to exclude it?

Nice work, Tim!

Just a heads up: the D3 visualization doesn't seem to be working in FF28 on Win 7.

We should mention this on the site, but the visualizer currently only works in Chrome due to some idiosyncrasies with the way other browsers handle (or don't handle) getting waveform data from audio tags. We're working on it though!
