Did you make this site? If I were the creator, I would not show it to strangers until I seeded it personally with 100 or so tracks. Nobody likes an empty party.

EDIT: typo: "current for forever" => "current form forever"


This site has so much potential!


Bookmarked. I'll be back. If this turns out to be as good as it can be, I'll be back often.


Very cool, hope to see this take off!


You might have a hard time getting orchestras to donate their work. Who knows, though.

At any rate, once the recordings from the 1950s go into public domain, almost the whole body of classical work will be available.


Thanks for having a look :) If you're an an ameter orchestra, or even most professional orchestras then all of your money is made from people coming to your concerts. Thus - if you had a way of getting free publicity by getting your name out there (and sharing the music you and your fans are passionate about) you'd be irrational not to.
