The network of people there matters. If they were investing 10k in my company I'd comply. Your network is your net worth.
The network is freely available. You could email sama with an honest question as a startup founder and you'll probably get a reply. He genuinely loves helping people. I don't know what "Your network is your net worth" means, but it sounds like a worldview in which the people you know matter more than what you can do. That's sometimes true, but none of the major startups started off by networking. It didn't matter who…

#108As expected. Single non-coding founder. Why do i bother? For a few weeks after the rejection I find myself very highly motivated.

Hey, I tried this out. There are some solid playlists in there. A couple things I found confusing: - I don't have flash installed in Safari (comes packaged in Chrome) and there was no explanation as to why music didn't play back when I was in Safari - initially Rdio playback was limited to 30s samples even though I had my Rdio account linked. I think I fixed this by logging into Rdio in the same browser session, but…

I love music startups (doing one myself). Is it similar to what Bop.fm are trying to do, but more around having a entire library of music (like a cloud-based iTunes)? Drop me an email (in my profile) if you're keen to chat.
The majority of companies in the music industry are aware of the problems driven by the fragmented setup. Some react by offering additional features for user retention. Others continue to drive the fragmentation further. New companies emerge, focusing on eliminating this setup. (bop.fm is one of them. check : tomahawk, wyhd and kollekt.fm)
This fragmentation though, is more the user’s problem than the industry’s. We start by accepting that music consumption, discovery and sharing has to be fragmented. Our competitors misperceive this problem and conclude that ‘sharing’ is broken in music. Taking a step backward, we know that the core problem is that ‘music consumption’ is broken.
On-demand services, download services, discovery services, terrestrial radio.. They are all complementary products from and end user perspective. This is why we accept that a user needs access to all these services and fulfil different consumption habits. This should not prevent a user to create a music library; accessible from anywhere and anyone. The users need an online Winamp!
