I have a friend helping me out already, but appreciate the offer and will definitely keep you in mind. Thanks again.

ha sorry, his post got pushed down.

I don't make the songs available to download so it is only streaming the songs via 8tracks API. All songs are legally acquired through various blogs and sites like Soundcloud.

That's a great story about the game. I'm interested to see the actual download numbers tomorrow to see what Apple factors into the rankings.

I've built up a list of 14,000 subscribers to the free web app over the past year and also had a journalist at LifeHacker who wrote about the project before. I offered the journalist an exclusive write up and then sent an email blast to the 14,000 subscribers all within an hour (starting today at Noon) and the app shot up the app store within a couple hours.

Still don't know launch day numbers since app store reports don't update until later tonight.

For further coverage, I'm reaching out to app review sites and any journalists who have covered similar apps in the past.

Just saw your subscription, thanks!

It was my first ever app, so I admittedly wasn't 100% sure what I was doing in xcode. I agree with you though, it would have looked better to have a full release number. I'll bump it up next version.

Thanks for the feedback.

Sweet thanks for checking it out. Working on a redesign for the web version too, not quite as slick as I'd like.

We don't currently have last.fm support, but the app uses the 8tracks API, so it might indirectly scrobble via that. I'll look into it, good feedback.

Thanks for the support so far! Appreciate all the feedback.

I'm actually a big fan of Hype Machine (and love their app), but I'm attempting to do something different with Noon Pacific. It's considered more of a music newsletter with hand curated tunes and hopefully more of a personal touch.

Appreciate it. People seem to love the simplicity of having the music delivered to them instead of trying to search/browse through tons of artists. Huge fan of Spotify, 8tracks, etc. but I think you're right that the music discovery aspect is still lacking.

Thanks! and yes we will have one out for Android in the next month.

curious about this too. guessing they will not work...

We actually do link back to soundcloud. Albeit small, there's a grey soundcloud icon in the middle pane under the song name where it says who submitted it.

Gotcha, I see what happened. We'll work on making hot/new pages more easily accessible

ha thanks for the kind words.

Absolutely, we hope this grows into a platform that artists can promote their songs in a unique way not available anywhere else.

Regarding the auto upvote, we agree and will implement that soon. Thanks.

Thanks for the feedback on the scrollbar.

Our redis instance is pretty tiny (~10mb) and we haven't had any issues thus far. The performance has been outstanding and we have only used a small fraction of our capacity.

thanks for the tip

Some newer versions of Firefox work great, we're working on making it work with more versions soon.

Thanks for all the feedback! We're aware of the firefox compatibility issues and are working on them.

Great ideas for vinyl links too.

Firefox unfortunately doesn't support Soundcloud's stream types, so we're working on some fallbacks at the moment. Thanks for feedback though, we're working on make it compatible with as many browsers as possible. Works perfectly on Chrome and Safari currently.

Thanks Bender80, appreciate it.

We stream all of the songs via Soundcloud API, so its not really any different than a blog posting a song their site. If an artist wants a song removed though, we do have a channel set up to request removal.

Thanks! You can submit any song from Soundcloud at the moment (they can be yours if you'd like), and we'll be adding more sources soon. We'll work on making the submit form more clear, good feedback.

great song, upvoted! Thanks for signing up and checking it out.

Thats actually something we'd like to do soon, appreciate the input!

Thanks cioc! Let us know if you have any feedback.

Yeah, we have Amazon affiliate links set up so we get a little share of the purchases. There's ad/sponsorship possibilities and a couple other ones we're exploring.

Thanks for checking it out!
