Have you ever used a playlist sharing site like 8tracks or songza.com?

i used to run a site called skreemr.com, and our API helped power sites like songza (long before it was a hit ios app), playlist.com and even short-lived Y-combinator graduate mixwit.com

You got it? Good luck with it! (I've noticed domain-squatters are starting to grab the good .io names so I figured someone on HN would do something more productive with it!)

.io domains are currently pretty useless because Google webmaster tools won't let you target a global audience. So no one apart from those who live in the Indian Ocean states will find you via Google, which is a bit of a disadvantage.

Could I submit my band's tracks to you via email or something?

Dooooooooope. On Android the songs keep playing if the browser isn't active - how'd you do that?

On what basis is something "awesome"? Are the tracks handpicked? If not, what is the overall method? Why is there no attribution if the tracks are clearly from websites that have recommended the music?

this isn't the hype machine - its just a very simple way to enjoy some new music with no bells and whistles or distractions.

Sure, but how is the music picked?

Attribution is not a distraction.
