0 commentsSo, as soon as I heard about the idea behind the whole platform some years ago I was quite excited about it. But unfortunately, they haven't find the way to keep the variety of music up to my needs.
Is it just me or when using their radio service the tunes are always the same? Also, they need to find a way to sort out the artist duplication. Every time I listen to 'similar artists to Little Bitchard' radio, there is this hiphop/rap artist Vic (which shares the name of another demoscener) that keeps poping up and trashing my flow. I can't listen to any demoscener radio anymore.
So, after this break, I'm back to style focused internet radio stations once again.
On top of that, for a project I'm working on at work, we had a meeting with them to see if we could collaborate. Basically we needed them to provide us with a stream of music based on the user's taste for our website, we would credit them for that and promote them as best as we could, but they started to rise a lot of legal problems and shit, but it was easy to spot that it was all being bullshit talking. The only way they were offering us for collaborating was to have a section on their site, or having a popup in our clients site, you know, like in 1998.
I guess that's what happens when you have money ;)
Sorry, but you lost an opportunity there, and a user.
