some screenshots from the dev days, my cloud app account seems like most of the files no longer accessible:
It was a pretty cool music platform. I was sorry to see it go but given the circumstances there wasn't much choice. It's a pity, it could have probably transitioned into a legit music service. The interface was nice and it had some unique features.
From what I remember the thing that sunk it (when it was inevitably sued) was the fact the boss had made all the employees share mp3's to help the platform take off.
it got sued into oblivion while youtube, who was being sued for the same reason, was bought by google and thus the major labels dropped their lawsuits against them..
