1. I don't know, I've never used it.

2. it's starting to get on my nerves
It's great that independent bands and such have a place to put their music online for free, but I'm getting really frustrated trying to play peoples' songs and all I get is a "song not found" message. But only half the time, so I know there's nothing wrong with the files themselves...oh well, I guess what with hosting millions and millions of mp3s things are bound to get a little messed up....

3. You'd think with all the pages on MySpace, they'd be a little more
conscientious of downtime issues, but even so, the (relatively simple) pages often take fuck-all forever to load, even on high-speed Internet. :argh:

What browser are you using?
Have you tried the standalone player?

7. well dammit all to hell!
I'm just using Internet Exploder...I wonder if it has something to do with my connection at work. I suppose I shouldn't be wiping out the office's bandwidth listening to music anyway.

I haven't tried the standalone player...maybe I'll give that a shot. Anyway, thanks for confirming that it is in fact just me! :D

9. well, thanks...it was pretty easy for me to figure out
just open band profiles at random, and generally it doesn't work...or not very well, anyway.

13. that's because most people on there
have no design & layout skills whatsoever. It's like timewarping back 10 years when all web pages looked this bad.
