I don't understand the text on the website. Is it some kind of attempt to look funny? " home.whatever.p", "HOME.ELEGANT-AND-FUN.LI3.HEADING"... ?! Or is the website completely busted right now?

Edit: What it looks like to me and everyone I asked to have a look. Big bug. Can't even see the pricing. http://imgur.com/ydTIPso

Nice website, recommendation seems kinda cool, but I'm sure like most people here, I don't see this going too far.

>That’s why you’ll never hear an ad on Beats Music.

Yeah, that's not lasting.

Not a fan of Beats. Tried a pair of their headphones in a shop and they sounded terrible. Build quality was flimsy as well. I think the only new thing they bring into the market is style, and that's not enough for longevity imo.

This new service, $10 a month. Not quite sure what it offers over Spotify. Anyway, past experience with their product means I'm just not going to be interested in this.

Seems like you are missing localization and you see the keys for the text.

EDIT: pricing MONTHLY $9.99 YEARLY $119.88

I've been giving it a run through this morning. Haven't gotten too far in, but I'd already say Spotify and Rdio have some serious competition on their hands.

The curation is where this service really excels, also the UI is pretty tight.

I've heard bad things about the headphones, so never tried them.
