Earlier quoted context omitted.

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

Now that I came back to HN for my morning fix and made it through the form: 1. Seems to only have trance-y stuff, not the general electronic dance music (e.g. search for popular non-trance artists: Pendulum, Prodigy, or Aphex Twin). The only problem with that is the expectation from the description. 2. On my browsers (Safari, FF3), the sets search edit box isn't clickable / won't take focus. I can only search tracks…

> i'd pay $10 just to know the name of the D&B song from 1-2 years ago with certain fight club samples

i run a little site that people go on to help identify music, called http://iden.tify.us you could try uploading it, and see if anyone knows it. there is a signup form, but if you'd rather not signup, just email the song to me and i'll post it (there is a link on the bottom of the site) sorry to threadjack, but this is the exact reason I started my site

The blog page gave me a 406 error in internet explorer (ver number 7.0.6001.1800. vista).

Using XP at home, I can't register, it gives multiple errors, and using the password recovery page, it gives the following error: A password reset link was not sent, you may have enetered an invalid email address. (typo on original page).

Errors when trying to register:

Invitation is required

Invitation has already been taken

I used the link in the original post. If you want to send me an invite, use my nick/handle at yahoo dot com. I'd also use the same nick/handle as the login name as I post here with.

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…

could you post a screenshot of what you are seeing?

Everything looked fine, but for the sound of silence. I hit play and it stayed on 0:00.
