Several times the song has started, but then whatever method is used to determine if its working caused it to stop and keep looking for another source.

#42having three different X's in the playlist view gets pretty confusing. perhaps use "clear" for the clear playlist feature and a trash can for the remove item feature.

#43It would be pretty cool to export finished playlists to Muxtape. I mean, you can create your own playlist sharing system, but might as well play along with the marginally bigger dogs.

#44need audio controls. Pause, play, stop, next, back, etc. Ability to build a playlist and then just have it loop through your playlist, or shuffle through it.

#45dude you're smoking crack if you think you can run a biz by export your itunes library, parse the meta data, and stick it online with a google-like search interface. I say this while I'm listening to some Ozzy from your site (works great, but taking over right-mouse button is rude). This is cool as your personal web front-end to your library, but if it gets any traction (free music tends to get traction) you're in for a smack-down. Good luck , rock on :)

#46I'm confused as to what I'm doing. I search for music, I add songs to my playlist, and then... what?
I'm guessing you have javascript turned off? Otherwise the songs should just play instantly.
Didn't automatically play for me-- I was able to add songs, but had to right click to show my playlist and left click to get started. FF3/Win.

#47this is sick... mainly because I was able to find what I wanted right there...
wondering how long before someone else copies this idea and takes it mainstream... also the elephant in the room, DRM.

#48While I like the sparse design (and badass logo), a huge problem is that I get to site and within the first ten seconds I don't know what it does (or even why I should care). I decide to figure out more by typing an artist and click 'music search' but now it's taking forever. If I was a random visitor, I'd be gone by now.
While I expect the load time after typing will be better as you work on scaling (and work out the bugs), I still think you'd be a lot better off with a little text explaining why I should even type something in and hit 'music search'. Will I get to play music? Will I get to download music? Will I find the cheapest prices for buying music? Who knows. Just my 2 cents.

#49Earlier quoted context omitted.

Why, oh why does such a site require Javascript?! edit: I'm not against requiring Javascript for those parts of your website that absolutely, positively require it, but everything that can work without JS should gracefully degrade.
JS support is required for the flash auto-play on IE due to some rediculous patent dispute.

#50are you using the songza api? i tried a few searches, and its clear, while your search is good, theirs is much better. great execution, but where's the differentiation with Songza, Seeqpod, Streamzy, et. al?
The suggestions that pop up when you're typing in a name is very helpful. That's one they differentiate. It isn't Flash-based either?
