Mark ( http://m44rk.blogspot.com/ ) pointed this one out to me the other day. As usual I was skeptical at first, but after a bit of digging around I thought i'd post something up about it.

I love the interface and interaction work that has gone into this site, nice touches everywhere, well written, nicely designed, visually engaging and very clean. All of the ingredients for a successful website. I have to say that just the sign up and upload procedure is a genuine pleasure, I really love this interface.

It opens with a well produced intro video, as a complete novice about the service it felt like i needed a bit more explanation about what gap this service actually fills (although this is a symptom of all great 2.0 sites i suppose).

Like Blip they're keen to hear comments and feedback. and have clever bits of interface things, in track comments!

And its all nice a big. I'm sure we'll look back and laugh at the notion of pixel fonts in a few years.

My only concern is the ease at which you can directly access the files (I wont tell you how, but it was the same flaw that Muxtape had) and essential steal the mp3s. Hopefully they can tighten this up.

I'll get stuck into it...
