Glad you like it. After having duplicates brought up several times over the weekend I think I'm going to make that my next task to tackle.
As far as monetizing, well... I have no clue. I started this app for practice and so I'd have something to show when I went for my first job interview, having just graduated. I messed around with adding a "Buy This Song" link that would send you to the Amazon MP3; however, I removed it because it was just more clutter I wasn't interested in, specially seeing it wasnt getting used as I thought it would. I'm open for any suggestions if ya have any :)
for starters i would keep it ad free. but once it picks up momentum and you are getting a lot of visitors, i would maybe incorporate a video advertisement in between songs. so maybe after 5 songs it would display a video/audio advertisement of some sort etc.
I think I want to stay away from interrupting listening. I know there free so complaining is kind of pointless and lame, but I cant stand it in other music services. I might look into a service like http://carbonads.net/.
