hey
as far as the flash thing goes, i've seen this used at
www.sgxmusic.com. he has a "SGX work in progress preview" on the right side under the banner that plays a little ditty of a track he's working on. that's the only way i think i can help.
as far as the site goes, i still love it, but i have no idea what i would do to improve it. i actually like how it's really just sort of barebones and doesn't have too many features. maybe i'm just a minimalistic dude. i do think it would be cool if we could comment on your news posts though.
the rating system i think could be pretty friendly to people who just stumble on the website and want to check out what it has to offer. in that case, it would be cool if users could sort songs by rating (maybe sort of like the tiers in vgmix). so i think that might indeed be a good feature! for people who just d/l all the songs i dont think it will matter much, but it might be fun to rate songs
finally, "D. Wise, E. Sischer, R. Beanland" <== it should be E. Fischer. (actually according to mobygames, it should now be E. Novakovic now b/c im guessing she got married)
Jam it back in, in the dark.
