Nice. I don't get the function of 'preview'. Maybe there should just be an option to play the song without the video? Also, repeat would be cool.

Thanks for the feedback! Yeah, I'll add repeat functionality soon.

Intended use case for "preview": you get a burn link from someone, you don't know any of the songs, and you want to sample many in a short time. It's not selected by default because I imagine it's not what most people want. Maybe it plays too prominent a role on the page.

I really wish I could play songs without the video, but other music sites have gotten in trouble trying.

How would people feel about "add album" and "add random related songs" buttons?

awesome, awesome awesome. Burn is so much better than youtube for music!! Is there an Android app? I will use this when I go jogging

No mobile version yet. Planning to experiment with jQuery Mobile for that....

I've been looking for something like this for a while now! Love it!

Make sure that you keep the simplicity even while adding all the new features that you'll no doubt get asked for!

Great work!

I find the font difficult to read. http://www.diigo.com/item/image/2acsf/7er4

Yeah, a couple of other people have said the same. The fonts seem thinner in Windows than on my Mac across browsers. I'll look for more readable fonts that are still appealing.
