Can I please skip a song?

Bug: When I hit a song that was "not available in my country", it asked me to skip the channel. It should just skip the song.

hey revorad, thanks for the feedback. we have been getting a lot of requests for that.. we definitely will figure out how to do it.. currently, the videos are synced across the world, so we need to figure out how to do it without ruining the user experience.

if you sync, how do you deal with buffering?

edit: if it's a sit back experience, why does it need to sync? it's either interactive or sit back, can't be both right? skipping a song is the only interaction i want :-P

we view the sync experience as a collective experience where you can feel like you're watching/listening along with the rest of the world. and i feel that, that feeling of togetherness is a unique emotion that could be a huge differentiator. p.s. we may be wrong on this.

and yes. i think i have an idea of how to skip and sync at the same time :) will definitely try to implement it.

Listening to Coldplay with the rest of the world doesn't make it any good. </joke>

er.. coldplay is nice!! hahahaha :)
