nice one dan, sounds good mate!

Love this, real good feel to this track. Love the Club feel start beat that gives it purpose and makes you want more. When do you get time to do this, catch up with you soon.

i'm your number one fan, love your music x

wonderful and brilliant as usual, i like the feeling behind it, its interesting.

I think you're right in your blog when you say that Robert Smith style vocals would suit this track; however you know how I feel about Bono ;-)

Very good though; up-tempo maudlin is hard to pull off.

Missed this one mate, awesome.

This is probably my favourite of your songs, my dear. Very good.

Will you be brave enough to sing without effects on your voice next time ;-)

Hi Charles, thanks for this comment. These drawbacks can be corrected:

1) I think I can add AJAX to the links so that they change into ticks once they're clicked. BTW- does anyone ever choose OGG or Flac files? I'm seeing very few downloads in the logs for these formats...

2) The password-reset is an idea that isn't really necessary for this website, since I'm giving away these tracks for free. Its a prototype for a site in which I'd charge for a subscription, to prevent people coming from different IP addresses using the same account- say if a subscriber posts their username/password to a forum. It has the drawbacks you mentioned, but I reasoned that since users would only download at a maximum once a month it wouldn't be too much of a hassle. Do you think this will put people off? I can definitely make the change password link more noticeable.

3) Yes this would explain why I haven't had an amazing number of comments. I think that given the time I'd redesign a lot of this website, but I'm not an expert on layouts so I might have to find some web developers to help-out.

If anyone has any other observations about the usability of the site, please get in touch because I am very interested.

A few comments on the site design:
Currently running on G5 Safari 4.0.2.
Previously visited on MacBook Pro Intel
1) It would be convenient if there was something obvious, which told me that I was downloading the track, so that I know that the click has been accepted. It was only when I looked at the downloads window in Safari, that I realised that I was downloading multiple copies that I knew the click had worked.

2) As I was using a computer different from the one that I had initially signed up on, I was forced to provide a new password before I could download. This is a pain, as the two computers are both on the same wifi connection. Having chosen a new password, it would be useful to see change password somewhere obvious, so that I can revert it, instead of having to also change it on the original computer when I wish to access this site.

3) The add comments windows are low down on the page, hence not initially visible. Would it make sense to have Leave Comment as a link in the menu at the top of all pages?
