The presentation is incredible. Reminiscent of iminlikewithyou without the total Flex overhaul. I also like the little artist details that pop up while you listen.

There's a styling "error" in Safari 3.0 Mac: the rounded corner sprite is PNG which displays at slightly different color temperatures on different browsers. It's causing all of your rounded boxes to get dark stripes where it doesn't match the CSS background. Just use GIF.

>You can purchase DRM-free songs by clicking "buy" on select players. Can you expand on that a bit? What do you mean by 'players' - like, WinAmp / WMP / etc. or like other members of the site? I use Amazon's music store, so that's kind of interesting to me. \*Edit: I intermittently get "t61.flashplayer.init is not a function" error. It prevents me from listening to music. Any idea on what to do with that?

"Player" is in reference to the individual song players on the page -- sorry for the confusion! Just click "buy" on the song you like, and you'll be able to buy it from Amazon MP3...aside from the mandatory client (although it has a purpose), I'm also a fan of the Amazon music store. We'll look into the issue you reported (thanks). What browser/OS are you using? You can respond to this thread, or simply send in Feedb…

FF 2.0.0.10 and IE 7 (fully patched) both gave the error on a fully patched WinXP SP2 system, so I'm guessing it's a flash problem. I'm not at work atm so I can't check the specifics on the flash being used there, but it's whatever's the latest because I had to download it to use your site. :)

I haven't run into the symptoms you described and we've been testing multiple, updated browsers (FF, IE6, IE7, Safari, Opera) on XP/SP2 and Mac. We support Flash 8 and above. Thanks for bringing this to my attention -- I'll keep an eye out.

This issue should be fixed now (I was able to reproduce the bug after installing the debugging libraries that come with flex.)

Haha, thanks for the suggestions. We actually bought a $400 Dell laptop (I have a Mac, but what a steal!) and are expecting it within a week. You can bet Ubuntu is going on that within <30 seconds of its arrival. If you have an e-mail address, I can send you a message when the site is Ubuntu-ready.

Rock :-) Let me know at donal.h at that gmail place.

just sent.
