Review my site: Myhitplace.com

The concept and intent is good.

I found the Video playing on the "Who we are" section to be a little annoying. I wouldn't put any videos with loud music on automatic Play mode.

I still think the process needs more explaining (I conceded I didn't look at all the videos). How much does an artist have to pay (if he does)? These things need to be ironed out clearly.Also I wasn't clear on all counts of the value it brings. I would have maybe a checklist of the advantages (essentially communicate better on what each party gets out of the deal).

Good luck!

As an artist, why would I sign up? What value do you bring? I would only sign up either if there was a big audience of listeners and potentials fans on your site or if you bring something else to the table.

If i'm a fan or listener looking to discover music, why would I sign up? Usually because you either have a wide variety of artist to browse, or you're bringing something else to the table.

The same could be said for A&Rs etc. Seems like the chicken vs. egg problem. What are you doing to attract your initial user base?

the front page comes across as very busy .. auto played video is a big NO! at first, didn't realize that there was more content below the video on that page ... maybe because I was distracted by that video.

Join the mailing list fieldset/container is overflowing from the left column area. I'm on Mac Os X / Chrome 6 beta.

Wonder how SGAE was to deal with. saw the logo in the left column there.
