That's ridiculous. How am I suppose to know which of the too many albums the song I want is on. Sure, I know it for my favorites, but I don't want to search through all the albums for new songs. They better develop this feature and fast. Incredible that they don’t even offer a search by song title. That’s ridiculous.

I used TechCrunch's promotion to create my own mixtape for sale. I wonder how my experiment will work out.

I understand *why* they have to limit it for licensing reasons, but it really defeats the utility of the service. This is in essence nothing more than an advertising service for the record labels. How exactly does the user benefit from this widget being on a page? I was excited about the idea until the 30-second preview.

The best thing they could would be to strike deals with as many of the thousands of other labels to offer music that most people had never heard of. That's how a "mixmaster" could really make some coin because he/she could source cool tracks and make it easier for busy people to quickly peruse and maybe purchase interesting new music. Offering popular tracks from major labels is a good start but it could become much more interesting and lucrative with more diversity. This widget has a ton of potential.

Until someone cracks how to legally stream music without paying outrageous licensing fes to the labels no one will be able to make a solid scaleable business - users will just run to yahoo music, amazon or itunes.

Only problem is the limited 30 second clip. A way to monetize people’s music enthusiasm – good idea. Only problem is the limited 30 second clip.
