I don't get what it does after reading your front page and about page. Why should I sign up?

It feel like this is another case of slogans gone wrong. "Music. Gather. Share." Huh? It seems like the message should be something like, "Listen to full DJ sets, searchable by track."

Ahh that would be awesome. I have always wanted the ability to have a set annotated, so that i can replay my favs and skip to certain sections easily - is this what it does?

Buy track by track?? Why? I listen to whole sets, not single tracks... why have a per-track buy button?

I agree. If I'm listening to a good set I'm much more likely to "buy set" than I am to take the time to buy them one at a time. "Buy set" option highly suggested.

This is sad. I actually love electronic dance music. But.. I clicked twice, ended up on a page full of from to fill out, and just didn't have the energy to go through with it 'cuz I had no idea what the point was. So as my 4yo (who used all said energy up) would say.. I x'd it.

That is pretty lazy IMHO. Its a beta site, read the comments above on why there is a login.

You can't really buy sets. Sets are basically podcasts that are mixed by DJs weekly for promotional purpose. Unless we collaborate with sites like Beatport or Juno to make this happen.

i tried signing up a few times but couldn't make it work. username too short, then the invite code disappeared on the retry page. i tried going back to step 1 and it still wouldn't let me sign up.

ditto.

Just increased the number of incites. "hackersftw" is the invite code

I was only able to get two of the sets to play. Every other one sits at 0:00 with the play button clicked. Added it to my Flashblock whitelist, but the flash bar was way below the player, which was weird. The player should be able to pop out or iframe or something so that you can browse while listening. How do I gather and share? You should pre-check the buy links so they could go to Amazon, itunes, Juno, or wherever, based on who has it. Many tracks are hard to find mixes.

- Let me queue up dj sets. - Give me a desktop player so I can listen without keeping firefox open. - Not clear why I have to create an account since I can't do anything with it other than leave comments

Have you checked out soundcloud?
