Hey, just a quick note,

I'd personally enjoy a big fat action button on the landing page that just says "Play" (just like the "i'm feeling lucky" button on the "TV" page). I know you have higher ambitions with the site (social, etc), but, anecdotally, i'm studying for exams right now and don't really have the motivation to parse all that text and creating a new user, but you could've easily had me listening for an hour if the content was easily, immediately accessible. good luck!

EDIT: Who am I kidding, I'm procrastinating so I might as well procrastinate right: It would be nice if the linked videos used youtubes timecode function, to skip intros. It was a bit jarring to hear the presenter in this video, for instance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=69&v=IInG5nY_wrU

This is why I love Youtube live channels. They just play a constant stream of music without having to sign up or do anything else complicated.
What are your favorite YouTube live channels?
Not OP, but I'm personally a fan of chill-hop stations, such as Lo-fi Hiphop Radio 24/7. This kind of music lends itself to studying and working, as it has very little lyrical content. Find it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQBh9soLSkI
Registration is not necessary, you can just press on the "i'm feeling lucky" button and get some major/important work randomly. However, when you are logged in, you will be able to get recommendations based on your starred works and followed composers.
Where's this "I'm feeling lucky" button? I definitely don't see it at all on the home page. I've even tried an in-browser search for "lucky".

EDIT: You have to click "TV" first. Which was confusing, since I was looking for music and thinking TV referred to watching actual TV.
