Fun app. I made one, have a few suggestions:

1. The song title is overlaying my screenshot, munging it all up. Suggest moving the title to the top bar or somewhere it won't mess up the screenshot/background (same with the comments box on the right).

2. Music played when I previewed it, but it's not playing after publishing. Not sure why.

3. Due to #2 I want to edit my creation and change from this 'song' (white noise actually):

to this one:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPoqNeR3_UA

to test if one can play and the other can't. But I don't see a way to edit a creation.

Thanks for the feedback!

regarding #1: how about hiding them when you're idle? Would this work? (Just pushed an update, please check it)

regarding #2: Is it still not playing? I visited that url http://daydream.fm/places/6a14bd5c7 and it seems to be playing. By the way, is it still not playing? It seems to work on mine. Also, the two youtube links you mentioned seem to be the same, aren't they?

regarding #3: Yeah currently there is no edit currently. I had it before but removed it because things started becoming cluttered with all the buttons, I guess I should add it back. In the meantime, you can "remix" to inherit existing properties from the current one, and delete the old one.

Just checked, good enough.

Still not playing though.

And sorry, the two youtube links are supposed to be different. One is 24hrs, one is 1.5hrs. Here they are again:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPoqNeR3_UA (24hr)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cqCoUvz_nwI (1.5hr)

I'm sorry about that. That's weird. Is it just that page? How about other ones? Also I would appreciate it if you could tell me your browser and computer environment. That would help in debugging. Thanks!

Yeah it's just my own page. The next ones in the queue after mine all work just fine, can hear them all.

If it weren't 3am I'd rebuild mine and see if I can get a new working.
