That's a seriously cool business model. Can't believe no one thought of it before. Brilliant.

Eh, what would you know?

I like the iPhone app, but i wish it would continue in the background upon exiting the app. That's a pretty important feature.

Hey dr_, we plan to focus on our mobile apps soon but we've got our hands full with some big partnerships that we'll be announcing in the next 30-60 days - very big partnerships.

If anyone from earbits happens to be reading - would you please provide an alternative to FB for login? I don't have an FB account and I won't get one just to sign up for your service. FWIW, I've paid for my music for the last ten years and currently subscribe to Pandora and Rdio. I'm in your target market, except for the FB thing.

Hey Joel, that is at the top of our list to add. Unfortunately, nearly all of our current features that require registration are designed for sharing on FB. Only bookmarking songs and getting email announcements about new features or artists will really be enabled by registering via email at this time. That being said, we're on it.

Cool, thanks for the response. I'm enjoying the service. Good luck.

You read the article, right? I mean the guy is a high school dropout.

"WTF? You need Adobe Flash to stream music...

We thought you knew this, but apparently you need reminding. You should enable Flash, or if you don't have it you can go install it now."

I've seen annoying and wrong messages before, but this message adds patronization on top of that.

You don't need flash for audio anymore.
