This service is very clean, Brings me back to the days when I would just listen to the tracks posted on ravelinks.com I do agree with the comment about not being able to copy an artists name or song, and two features I would love to see are 1. a random/shuffle button, one that goes beyond the genre you are currently in. 2. the ability to click on a song and bring up more songs from that artists page.

Didn't sign in, because I couldn't get any information about it without signing in with twitter. And I'm not going to sign into a site with my twitter account unless I know what the hell it is.

Electronic music charts that you can listen to, the twitter sign in is for the chat feature. It's meant to be music to work to all day. Sorry for the confusion.

Well you can always login with a BugMeNot account for Twitter (http://www.bugmenot.com/view/twitter.net). I don't have a Twitter account and it's working fine with that.

I don't have a twitter account, so I can't even look around the site or find out more about it. EDIT: Not so much of a jab, rather just to let you know you've maybe lost a customer or two because its not worth the payoff for me to get an account to just look at your site (I don't know if its a site ill like enough to justify that effort!)

It's worth turning off quite a few people for our chat to use twitter handles. The conversation is quite different thanks to a bit of transparency.

Limiting your audience from "fans of electronic music" to "fans of electronic music with twitter accounts (willing to trust us with access their data)" is quite a few people.

Nice, but having such rigidly defined genres means you're going to miss out on the best of electronic music today, which is increasingly abandoning the genre classifications which have straightjacketed the music in the past. For example, where on earth does this fit? http://soundcloud.com/bleeky/r-s-d or this? http://soundcloud.com/raffertie/ergo-we-are-human-1 Sure, you can shoehorn them into house or techno, but th…

I wouldn't even dare ask where various genres of tracked music (demo style, epic, silly, etc.) or video game music (NES, SNES, RPG, etc.) or the new scene trying to make dance music on old videogame hardware... could manage to fit.

Which reminds me, I'm off to Nectarine.

I do have a twitter account, but I closed the page immediately when I saw that's what I needed to do to proceed.
