I'm just wondering if TheSixtyOne.com is a product of YCombinator? I recently discovered it (and work for a media startup myself), and I find it fascinating.

#4it would be nice if there was a recent playlist so that i can re-play again the songs i played.
it should be automatically added in the temporary playlist if it was played it for more than 1/2 of the time of the song.
update: i see they playlist is the results of the current page. So i suppose the order of the playlist could be re-ordered in the way i play it.
maybe the best solution is to add two buttons more for previous/next within my playlist and not the results of the current page.

#7This is one of my favorite sites. As someone who makes websites for a living, I'm very impressed by what they've put together. One of the better music sites that I've used (and I've seen a lot of them)

#8What a cool concept, but what a frustrating site!
I think I'm addicted in spite of the navigation/functional issues, but definitely I'm looking forward to improvements.

#9Despite going there and poking around briefly, I have absolutely no idea what this site does. I guess in that respect it is like iilwy, except with iilwy you can poke around for a day and still have no clue.
