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 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.
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.
Edit: Baaa! I found your nano-easter egg. :)
*when you can see your pass it's harder to forget
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.
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.
