Hi everyone, I actually posted this last week with a different title but no one seemed to notice (or maybe no one's interested in it?).. anyway I hope I can get some feedback from you guys.. thanks!

I don't rate songs, i rate artists and occasionally albums. I can't remmeber song names. You need some form of "browser" that lets me select albums then choose a song to rate from that album.

Thanks for checking it out! you have a point there.. I was also debating with myself on that before, but I decided that going with songs/singles will make the charts move faster (people will be encouraged to vote more often). Also often when I want to try out new music, I just like to hear 1 song from the artist (preferably the best song on the album)-- if I like it then I try the whole album. The browser part is good, I need to add that.

What does FC add to this besides saving a login step?

Also, how will it make money?

It eases the registration. You can also publish your votes to Facebook, which some people may like (like being a fan to an artist). On the part of making money, there's the usual ads, and I'm planning to sell mp3's from Amazon.
