#12The next level may be a combination of scraped content (hypem) and social voting.
I recently met up with the founders of another startup trying to tackle this problem at http://cherrypeel.com, and they seemed excited about it as well. Hopefully there is some money to be made from it to make it sustainable.

yes, there's a tag-based playlist system -- just favorite a song to begin.
In any case I think this feature needs to be a lot clearer.

#14It has seriously driven more people to my music than anything else has. Granted, I don't play the myspace 'thanks for the add' game.

Oh okay I think I finally worked it after toying with things off and on over 20 minutes - a "tag radio" list has appeared when I'm in a radio section and if I click one of those tags music will play continuously. I guess by playlists I meant ones I create. In any case I think this feature needs to be a lot clearer.

Or go to your profile and click on the tags that appear to your right.

#16Does this do any sort of relating how one user likes music to how another user likes music? It seems to me that this would be a necessary element, unless you're willing to cater so thoroughly to one specific defined community that you don't care. (Is that the case?)

I think you're on the home page. For an example, you can see my personal tag playlist named 'mellow': http://www.thesixtyone.com/tags/song/show/sam/mellow/ Or go to your profile and click on the tags that appear to your right.

#20I just started fooling w/ it and MIA "Paper Planes" is at the top along w/ the FLOBOTS "handlebars." Are either of these guys indy? Could a Rolling Stones song make it on here? If there is no criteria by which you are too big, won't it degenerate into the top 40?
