My website just launched.

http://www.pickstation.com
Been working on this thing for awhile now, let me know what you think. My goal is to kind of be the newsvine.com of music blogging, but also make it easy for anyone to to build up a playlist and get a music station box running on their site/myspace/etc. Obviously what it's most lacking right now is a community, but I think the idea is good enough to catch on.

If you like the site please digg it!

I find the background somewhat annoying.

Is this a digg-clone? Not saying that is bad, just asking about the way the site works.

another vote for last.fm just found out about them a week ago.

not digging the site, but liked that set you had on there. Is that all the music on there right now or am I missing something?

Hell, you're getting nothing but negative remarks, which you may need brutal honesty, and it's dished out here by the truckload, but I must add that it looks "clean" overall. That's the first thought I had. It needs work, but it's a great start.

 

[GRagland]

I'm definately far from satisfied with the sites design. I wanted to get an early version out there and see how people respond to the idea. I don't want to spend ages nailing down the design to find out that the functionality needs to be changed around. There is no community yet since it just launched today, but what do you think about the concept? There are a lot of cool music sites like pandora and last.fm, but not really any fun easy to use sites based around free legal music that you can download or put on your site (tracks hosted on band/record label websites, good creative commons music, etc).

that first song is great....


I thought it was a digg-crap-cloen at first but it is a nice idea...not sure if those last fm places do the same thing....

 

[Goosemaster]

man..that blackalicious song is awesome...

 

[SlitheryDee]

"Also, we will be explanding our non-existent FAQ section shortly,"

Might wanna fix that.

 

[Goosemaster]

bloackhead's tracks are good ones too..how do I download the ones that don't have off-site track pages?

And can you really expand something that doesn't even exist?

I have some of their stuff, and this is defintiely going in the library as soon as I can figure out how to download it.

-Thanks for reporting those errors, fixed them.
-As far as downloading the tracks I am going to add download funcitonality soon, but in the meantime if you want a track just subscribe to the podcast for that page in itunes (or any other podcast catcher) and it will download them. Or you can open the podcast xml file in your browser and find the link to that song.
-Lastly, if you like the site please digg it!

Ahhhh. I need itunes?

 

[GRagland]

You don't need itunes, if you just want the link to the file for now you can just open the feed (http://www.pickstation.com/rss2.xml?status=published) in your browser and find the mp3 link for the song that you want
