Gorgeous effects, fade animations, and interface is clean and beautiful but the playlist being CDs on the left side of the screen is a bad idea. I can't remove them, when I click on the artist it adds more of the same song to my playlist. Clicking on different cds (songs) in my playlist doesn't work either. I really got frustrated having to roll over all the cds(songs), the interface changing in the Now Playing panel. It was just so odd and awkward.
It's glitchy when using the next/previous arrows in the footer music player. I can't switch between music. The experience was perfect up until I started trying to actually listen to the music. I guess there's still more work to do.
I'll work on the side-bar music queue--you're totally right that clicking the song name and it adding itself to the queue is ridiculous--not at all expected behaviour--more an unforeseen consequence of re-using the same template for all track displays.
Just curious, what was your particular expected behaviour? To jump to that song in the queue and start playing, or to remove the song?
Thanks again for letting me know, I'll triple check this--I was stupid enough to only bother testing Chrome and FireFox on a Mac and just IE9 on Windows. Sorry!!
Also, are there any legal complications with how you are sourcing the music?
Nice job!
Edit: I noticed some tracks are wrong. e.g. Hump De Bump by the Red Hot Chili Peppers plays something else I didn't recognize.
I'll play around with the code that strips out bad search results and maybe get this to change.
Thanks for the feedback / taking the time. As for the legal complications, I'm genuinely not sure--it's available on YouTube and downloading from YouTube is fairly trivial, but it's not like it's a functionality placed front-and-centre on this site. You'd have to be more tech-savvy to download music via this site than from any of the many YouTube to MP3 services on the web.
Where are music and images being served from? Seems to have a substantial library. What are the licensing arrangements?
Really wanted to focus on the interface so it seemed the logical approach.
