Looks good!

Timed comments = cool
MP3 preview + scanning of high quality WAVs = cool
Sharing files privately = cool

A:Its not only samples, but also synths, but main ingredients is lots of FX

[Stray]

wow this site is really great. I like how you can leave comments at a particular point in a track

[a1studmuffin]

Stray, agreed, another great idea for a website put into action. Like all clever ideas, nobody knew they needed it until they had it handed to them on a platter.

[mrj]

like cheese. cheese is a great idea that comes on platters.

and biscuits.

[a1studmuffin]

What would the very first platter have been served on?

[mrj]

Cheese. Purely for the sake of irony.

[a1studmuffin]

Take note Alanis.

So who's using this? I've been listening to some awesome tunes recently...

Highly recommended is Mr Squirrel, quality stuff.

[a1studmuffin]

I'm using it... pretty cool, although they want to start charging people for "pro" accounts which I think will kill it pretty quickly if there's no other way to use it. It's a nice luxury, but it's certainly not a necessity.

[gb]

yeah right. that's pretty lame, considering that I was given a pro account when they went public...

[spiral]

i think all beta testers were given a free pro account

[a1studmuffin]

Yeah they were... I can't see anyone wanting to fork out money for a service that's really just a souped up version of free ones out there. Considering it's trying to combine the social networking paradigm with free services like sendspace/yousendit/megaupload, asking people to pay for it seems like a bit of a tactical error.
