I second this - I built one of the competing services (shameless plug: http://beathound.com ), and it seems like every day I find a new one (or a new one gets announced - like yours!). I gave this a shot, and it's pretty cool - but it seem

It sounds like you've picked an idea that will be very, very tough to make a sustainable business out of.

It sounds like you'll have a tough time getting your customers to pay you - if you're after money, is the idea still worth pursuing if you're going to have to 1) convince them it's worth paying for, and then 2) find a way for them to pay yo

I'm working on building a service for music discovery actually ( http://beathound.com ) - it's not a problem that's been solved yet. I use whatever I can get my hands on.

No - I'm a subscriber to two streaming music services that usually have everything I'm looking for, and when they don't my next source is Youtube. If I find something I like and want to add to my collection, I buy it - usually after I've be

iOS, but I do all my shopping on a desktop computer. Touch interfaces have a long way to go before they're low hassle enough to be worthwhile for me.

Fair enough. As someone who doesn't use their phone for shopping, this isn't for me - but I would have checked it out if it had been on the web. Good luck!

This doesn't seem like something that's only useful on my phone - why can't I use it on the web?

It would have been helpful if this mentioned that it was Wordpress-focused for now. I signed up because this sounded useful to me, but I don't have any Wordpress tasks.

Looks like there are some errors right now: https://status.heroku.com/

Their two higher-end plans both seem to offer phone support - wouldn't that be the support phone number you're talking about? It seems like you'd need to talk to them about their Premium plan, but it might come in cheaper than Wordpress VIP

It seems like http://wpengine.com/ would be perfect for you.

I'm sorry - what's the problem with open source contributions? I don't see anything on this page that says "this is the problem this will solve for you".

http://hipchat.com is pretty quick to set up - it has web, desktop, and mobile clients - they also seem to have experimental support for XMPP/Jabber ( http://blog.hipchat.com/2011/04/25/experimental-support-for-... ), which would let you

A lot of my friends are music fans (Shameless plug - that's why I built http://beathound.com ), and across the board the ones with large libraries are the ones who both pirate and buy the most. For example, in the last couple weeks Mother

Fair enough. I'm always curious about why people choose one provider over another - thanks for filling me in on your reasoning. :)

If bang for your buck is a concern, you might be interested in this offering from Hetzner: http://www.hetzner.de/en/hosting/produkte_rootserver/ex4s - you get double the RAM and a bit more disk space for a little bit less. I only have a m

If there's anything I've learned today, it's been that people really like Spotify, and tend to send their information to last.fm. All the feedback is definitely helping me organize my list.

On the list!

Good point - I've changed it to 'Analyze'.

The iTunes store for now. Future sources are last.fm, Amazon, Insound, and eMusic.

Yes - I need to do this. For now I can just spell it out: I will only use your email address to send you 1) an email when your library has been scanned, 2) an email maximum once a week when I find new releases from artists in your library,
