Doesn't seem to work for me. I just get the following error in the console:

    soundManager.createSound(): Audio support is not available.

;_;

Edit: Reloaded and it seems to be working now. YES.

For those who aren't aware, getting offered to play an essential mix is a huge honor in the electronic music world. Most of the mixes on this site are from artists giving it their very best. Cracking good work! This looks incredibly polished for a side project; are you planning on building it up?

Thanks for the kind words! Yes, we are planning on building it up. Just wanted to get it out and get some feedback.

This looks and functions really well and you have a good selection of mixes.

For those like me who want to listen to a particular Essential Mix from 1993 till mid 2011, someone has uploaded 910 Essential Mix episodes into a Soundcloud Folder which can be found at http://soundcloud.com/das-boy/sets/essential-mix/. There are some real gems in here and it's pretty much a permanent tab for me.

Enjoy!

Really like the UI and am already a big fan. Well done.

Any chance you could integrate track listings (perhaps with the start/end times within the mix so you can identify the active song?)

There was a Soundcloud account with a like every essential mix ever on it the other week, but shortly after it disappeared - I think due to licensing issues with BBC content outside of the UK. Did you look into that for your player?

That's our vision! Turns out to be a pretty giant task though. Stay tuned:)

I'm still getting this error. OP, if it helps, I have click-to-play on for Flash.

That is some impressive upload! Cheers for this!
