I agree with first comment. You definitely want to be more specific in the early adopters you're targeting. You mentioned exploring, that is a great word to use and should be part of your headline, something like "Explore the world around you." Your facebook page does a good job of giving examples of what the best use cases are. It will help for you to focus on travels who want to explore the city they are in.

Any chance you will also link back to Soundcloud? If it's part of your monetization strategy to only link to amazon purchases I get it but what's to stop Soundcloud from turning off the spigot and taking your idea?

Great Job on this. I really like the light upbeat (pun intended) feel of the design.
