Looks like jquery mobile + client side MVC-like framework.

Adding node.js as a requirement to do client side development seems like it would be a big deterrent.

Yes its over, many are 'done', but they're not all web apps, so some were just in person demos and performances.

It only works in new Firefox 4 beta cause it uses the new audio API.

One thing that jumped out at me is there's no clear single call to action button. You have both 'Learn More' and 'Sign Up', which downplayed the importance of each of them since they're the same size.

I'd make it clear to the user you want them to click Sign Up, and make Learn More smaller or just a link below it. Also the 'Free' sticker almost looks like a call to action button too, and IMO slightly spammy.

Good luck with all the feedback.

I just tried to rent a truck from them last week, but switched to penske because of uhaul's website and reservation workflow.

Godaddy tries to sell less add-on services than U-Haul. They seriously have like 10+ pages of add-on's that no one wants.

Playing is kind of possible today with some hacks, though you would need time signatures on the tab.

I think we're going to move towards the browser as a music composition tool soon, and I can't wait. Some people at Mozilla are working on an awesome audio data api spec, check out their demos/videos: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Audio_Data_API

I've spent more time on the site today than I have any other day in the past.

My problem before was that I would quickly scan through artist names/song titles and listen to one here or there and then move on. Now I give almost every song a chance before I go to the next. I get instant visual connection with each artist via the high-res pic, and i'm diving deeper into learning about artists with the little bios and pics that pop up during playback.

This is a win for music discovery UI's, even though it may be a loss for the social network aspects of their site.
