I like it. It's very simple and if I enjoy the music, I can see myself coming here when I want something fresh to listen to.

That being said, the text and icons are really hard to see. They blend into the white background too much.

*edit: The password is showing clear text. Why?

I agree 100% with everything Sherb is saying.

I also liked the ajax signup. I was very afraid of the song being killed.

I have to say, I non-ironically LOVE Mixest!

Edit: Slightly irked that Play and Pause are text (a minor quibble, to be sure) — Just a guess: You guys searched for the Unicode play/pause/next icons and, having realized they don’t exist, gave up on that idea for now, right?

Feature request: Last.fm scrobbling. Incredible Pandora doesn’t have this. They aren’t really direct competitors in terms of the use-cases they focus on.

We do have hotkeys if that makes things any better :)

Press '?' to get them to show up (just like gmail).

Also there's an easter egg but it's not konami so I don't expect anyone to find it.

I discovered the play/pause hotkey (space — great choice, by the way — can’t believe Windows Media Player doesn’t support this!) by accident as I tabbed onto the "Register" button and attempted to trigger it with my spacebar.

Edit: Baaa! I found your nano-easter egg. :)

Took me a sec but ? is the same as pressing shift+/

Anyway you can get that to work nicely with Firefox's find-as-you-type feature?

We ask for very little information from users, and asking for an email to reset the pass felt like too much.* Thanks for bringing this up as we are probably going to change this and make it more secure.

*when you can see your pass it's harder to forget

Please stop paying attention to Jakob Nielsen.

Password masking, along with asking for a password confirmation, is what everyone expects. Any affected attempt at 'simplifying' that UI without a total transformation (like no accounts at all, not shit like openid) leads directly to anger and disillusionment when their plaintext password is staring them in the face.

Use <input type=password>. Use two of them when registering, and one when logging in. It's a basic affordance, don't fuck with it.

How would you feel if we obliterated accounts completely?

[blasdel]

Well, are they doing anything now?

I've been favoriting tracks but it's not clear that it has any effect on what gets played. You're saving the tracks I fave, but then I can't do anything with them except delete them — which should absolutely not use the same heart icon you use for creation. I clicked it thinking it would play that track again, and POOF.

Three fields should be ok - username, pass, confirm pass. Better that than visible passwords. If users want to add their email and other info later, have an Account page for that.

I agree, change those shades of grey to something a bit more readable.
