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.
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.
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)
