Looks nice. I'm into this sort of music, so I'll use it for a few days and tell you if I have any problems/changes/ideas

:-)

I love this.

A couple of things.

1.1 The invite a friend form is broken. 1.2 Could I invite multiple friends using the same form?

2.1 Why are you searching for music like this at Amazon.com? I think you would have much better luck using beatport.com.

I just started using this right now; I'll keep you posted when I have more comments.

Thanks for creating this.

Looks great, but... I can't seem to get any sound out of it? I click the Play button, and absolutely nothing happens.

It's disappointing, since I actually want to use it :p

Tried it in Chrome and Firefox 3 so far.

Small side note: log me in right after I register! Especially if you don't require email confirmation. It's a minor one-time irritation, but any friction you can remove, especially at the beginning of a user's experience, is worth it.

What's broken about the invite form? Could you take a screenshot. I have noticed sometimes if you load the page and click on invite friends too soon it takes you to a white page with a blank form. This is because the JS hasn't finished loading. I'll have a fix for that soon.

Yeah, that's exactly what was happening. It's working now.

also, i'd like to send this site out to a bunch of my friends in the near future, let me know when you guys are ready for a spike in traffic :).
