#2> Sorry, Windows and Linux users: we definitely have you in mind, but we want to get our Mac application perfect before we release for other platforms.
Only theoretically yet, though, since linux users probably feel the greatest pain there.
Anyways, best of luck! I'll be testing when a linux client is available :-)

#5I expected, once finally in, to find a site where I could listen to the aforementioned live/saved music. Since the page I saw was empty, I tried clicking on my username, which brought me to a page containing absolutely nothing except my username in a bigger font.
No links to anything at all.
Now what???

#6One suggestion: give me a list of mixes to listen to right after I sign up. I had to go to your twitter page to find something.

#7Now for some feedback! 1) The 'Create My account' button is dimmed out, even after I've completed the form!
2) The 'Password' tooltips aren't really that helpful because they don't give me any guidance as to how long my password should be. They're cute, but I had to hit 'submit' to find out that it had to be a minimum 6 characters.
3) The 'About' box on the signup page says something along the lines of 'If you're a DJ or a live act, Mixlr is for you!' I didn't find this very compelling compared to this line on your posterous: "If you are a DJ or part of a live act, you may have already found that it can be surprisingly hard to broadcast yourself live on the web." I would suggest swapping them :) I couldn't get back to the original signup page to get an exact quote.
4) Signup process is nice and easy! I didn't try the Fbook/Soundcloud integration but a brief blurb on why I would want to tie them together would be great. For example a cool picture of how the facebook integration would look (sharing your live stream with your friends!) would be ideal. Bonus points if you get a celebrity DJ to take the screenshot of his/her account :)
5) I liked being able to set my location on a map. Felt much more personal than just typing in my City/State into some text box (even though thats what I was really doing!)
6) I haven't received my e-mail yet but i'll try to post more feedback when I get in! :)
Thanks for posting your app here. Makes me super anxious to complete my app so I can post for some feedback :D

#8Secondly, I don't appear to be able to search for or find existing uploaded mixes, is this intentional or have I missed something?

#10Firstly, how is this different to or better than SoundCloud? Secondly, I don't appear to be able to search for or find existing uploaded mixes, is this intentional or have I missed something?
I will be building a search/discovery mechanism when there is more music to search for and discover :-)
