I'm trying to get a friend to sign up for this, but she says that registrations are closed right now.

When do they open and how long does she have before she can create an account?

Wondering why I can't upload my week 52 or view anyone else's. I did my song on Sunday afternoon (as is my usual schedule) but uploads don't appear to be allowed. Wondering if something happened?

Hi, my suggestion for this site would be for the music player (that's at the top of the web browser) to have a minutes-seconds time stamp at the top so I can leave reviews like, "I love the swell at 1:14. Great work there. When the part at 2:02 comes in though the bass is a bit too heavy. Great finish though, really dig the lead at 2:41."

Anyone here do Ludum Dare before? They have a nice ranking criteria that they call "Coolness" that is a ratio of Comments on others vs. Comments received. Not sure what the exact formula is, but basically if you leave more comments on other songs, but don't receive comments, your featured-ness goes higher and higher.

The end effect is that the person who leaves a lot of comments for others, but doesn't have many comments themselves will be featured and will thus be exposed for more commenters who are looking for songs to listen to.

I like the system because it greatly encourages someone to listen and review on other people's tracks. The more reviewing they do, the bigger chance they'll get comments in return.
