More invites? :)

We've opened up a few more slots, although we're not doing this in an effort to market (or use invites as a way to grow), we really want to focus in on user feedback.

If you aren't able to get in, we'll open it up to the public shortly after we feel it's ready.

Thanks again for your feedback, please keep it coming!

Dang, found some great radio stations!

1. The streaming on some stations is pretty bad - not your fault. But it would be useful if you could classify or somehow mark with an icon - stations that have good streaming and stations that breakup often.

2. Fyi, there is no music with Chrome, but login, search, etc works.

3. I thought the "Grab A Station, Get Some Tunes" thingy on the top right were links but nothing happened when I clicked. Make it look more like a tagline and less like links.

4. Search results look cluttered due to close spacing.

Really like the service - bookmarked it.

Wow. I really like it. Very intuitive. Where do you get the radio stations from?

I think you should think about combining Artist and Genre search. It took me a few seconds to find genre. Why not just have one search box with two tick boxes underneath it?

Though the tags are kinda good, so I guess if other people find it fine, than its okay..

I think the site is very responsive. First impression the UI could use a little bit more work, in terms of displaying content on the bottom half. One thing I am really curious about is how you stream the music so fast. Bu that I mean, there is literally no latency issues from the time i click on a podcast and it starts playing the stream. Great product you have here. More feedback as I use it more :)

Under recently played, there are a set of, well, recently played songs. And a big spot where album art would go. Is there some relationship between these two? The image was always blank. Is this "going to be there" functionality? If so, I'd recommend hiding it for now.

Hey Llama,

I've seen you guys before as I used to work for a competitor. Nice to see you moving in this direction.

Unfortunately, the site isn't playing any music for me :(

Are you limited(or limiting) play to just within the US? I tried about 7 different stations, and got nothing.

Nice clean design though.
