Seems like they've turned a really good site for amateurs into a more commercial site , i used to browse the acoustic artists etc. but it throws up mainstream acts at us now, unless i;m using it wrong :D
Be interested to hear what you all think

Jim, I've not noticed that but all i do is put my music up there, so apart from user interface I', not having the myspace commercialisation problem.

To me it seems like all they have done is updated the graphics and layout...which seems a bit lame.

I thought there was going to be a big change around with more features added (group messaging people?, advanced searching?)

But everything seems to be the same....for a minute I thought 'argh' they have taken away groups! But they are still there :)

Well I don't use all the features - in fact, I only really post songs, follow people, and listen to their songs. But I think the new user interface is a big improvement, particularly the profile page.

Much easier on the eye - took a minute to find the account controls but after that it was easy enough.

I'm struggling to get the links to soundcloud to work consistantly -seems very flaky. Is anyone else having problems.....if not any ideas where I'm going wrong?  ??? Thanks

I REALLY REALLY HATE THE WAY IT ALWAYS PLAYS ANOTHER SONG STRAIGHT AFTER!!

I only want to listen to the one I clicked on!

It never did that before, can that 'feature' be turned off?

I listen and review at the same time and I'm having to stop typing when the song ends and quickly press stop on the next song, in doing so I lose my train of thought and it's really bugging me.

Anyone else bothered by this or is it just me?

Anyone pay for it ?
