Show/Ask HN: Mu6.me, like Imgur for Audio
I have no involvement in this whatsoever but a non-English speaking friend asked me to get some feedback from the HN community.
He wanted a really hassle free way to let his friends share music they'd created or discovered with as little impediments as possible, much in the same was as Imgur has done for images.
He built the site entirely by himself in his spare time from nothing to averaging 65k views per month, over 82k uploads in the last year and 630k plays. The site's most popular in Taiwan but has a large global userbase too.
The situation now is that he's not looking to do it fulltime but feels it has gotten to the point where it has too much traction to close.
What would you do if it were your side project? Would anyone purchase the site? Are the copyright issues insurmountable? I pass on your thoughts, thanks in advance.
