Like the idea. Wanted to do something like this a few years ago. It's an actual pain point: I have thousands of albums, and it's a pain to mix them so that I enjoy them and listen to most of them regularly.

Hate HATE the stock-footage girl on the front page.

What's with "My cart (0)"? I went hunting for the thing that costs money. Is there one?

I assume I can upload my iTunes playlist and you'll fit it to what's in your database, that being the value prop.

I assume your key viral loops are Facebook and Twitter, broadcasting to friends portions of playlists.

Thanks for the feedback. That is definitely one of the pain points we are looking to relieve. Good to hear that it resonates.

Yeah the stock photo is probably a bit too market-y, will work on replacing with solid content.

You are able to add any songs you don't own to your shopping cart for purchase. The downloadable software not only allows you to upload and share you itunes playlist, but it also allows us to provide you with purchase protection so you don't buy music you already own. The software also syncs playlists from the website with itunes or windows media player.

I am definitely hoping that Facebook and Twitter turn into viral loops.

Thanks for your feedback. It is much appreciated.

Playlists are not something I have much use for (I prefer listening to whole albums at a time), but as a graphic designer I'd like to second the thing about the stock photo.

This is a good candidate for a/b testing.
