Very nice design.

Looks like pitchfork improved their security a bit. I remember they used to just have an XMPP player, where the XML behind it just had an additional node titled security. It's contents said something to the effect of.. "Don't download these files!". Or something like that.

Thanks. I'm not really sure about Pitchfork's security...I know they lock down their mp3s and had some recent trouble (maybe?) with leaking albums? Not 100% sure on that last part.

All the mp3 files that I'm using are provided by 8tracks.com via their API.

I like the clean design. Do you have a blog with notes of the whole process - plugins used / css / js / hosting.

No blog yet. After I get the first round of revisions done on pitchforked I'll get something up that details the process. I've been taking notes throughout the whole thing, just haven't gotten around to it yet! I'll post again once that's ready.
