Thank you! Grouping songs like Songza seems like a great idea.


We don't scrape anything from any of the sites. All the music that comes in, comes directly only from the artist through musicfellas.com/artist


They usually take a day. To maintain quality, we curate all the music that comes in, being that we are not just a store but a discovery platform and user experience is very important to us. We just have too much music coming in and we are way behind on curation.


Cool cool, good to know! :)


If you could tell me your usrername, I'll have that looked into.


Thanks :) Genre on what's hot seems to be a popular demand.


Brilliant idea. Thanks!


Definitely. Although there is a bit of hn effect too :)


Physical items is not in the plan for now. If more people show interest in that, something we can consider. Our differentiator is certainly discovery.

About the nitpicks: 1. This was to avoid user accidentally clicking and losing the music queue. Now that we've added a js check, we should certainly remove it. 2. We had to shut it down because of the spam. I know we could do captcha, but then we realized most of the feedback anyway came from signed up users.


Could you not do a captcha for non signed in users?


Sorry about that, should be fine now :)


Awesome, thanks!


We do have an iPhone app coming out soon. However we plan to release that as a premium feature. If you had to pay 99 cents per week for the premium version, would you still be interested? Of course there will be more premium features included.


1. Is it 99c/wk for ad-free listening? (sounds reasonable) 2. Does that also provide API access so I can mess with it for personal use? (would be good)


Yes, 99 c/wk for :

1. ad-free listening 2. iPhone app (to start with) 3. weekly curated playlists 4. higher quality streaming

API not right now, but maybe later.
