looks good, how much did u get paid for it? must be a lot

[the founder]

Actually paid nothing... did it to help my own music but it took over my life...

[CriTiCeRz]

That looks really nice.

[NANO3]

very neat!

kind of all crammed in there, may require structure?

databasing the ecommerce in flash was an excellent idea, innovative.

[unclesond]

Its certainly impressive to make a site like that in Flash, but I'd have to question if flash was the best platform to do it? As in reality what you've produced could be produced a lot easier, with numerous benefits in the long run in a different language. But as something unique it can't really be questioned, just seems the hard long way to have made it

Overhaul, Impressive:pleased:

Some notes:
I dont like that I have to scroll the browser sidewise.
Also the button sound is alittle anoying.

Maybe you could add some "content blocks" to the text etc.

good work!

I would have built this as a XHTML/CSS site but in saying that it is still a very good site

full of content, fonts ok, colours are ok but the site is pretty wide making me wonder why you just didn't make it 100% wide

the designs not up to much but gotta say its not important, it's enough and thats fine, with this kinda site it's the content peoples gonna keep coming back for

I can see there has been a lot of work on it and I like it, bookmarked :thumb:

9 months...impressive.
i don't know anyone who would code a site that long.
great job on it though, i love it:thumb2:

Very impressive, looks very nice, and I can see all the work u must have put into it. It would likely be easier to do it in XHTML/CSS, but it looks nice in Flash, I also agree, it does kinda need some layout/structure. It still looks very good none-the-less.

[SlowRoasted]

I like it. Nothing wrong with doing it in flash. I've seen several large cms's done in flash.

[simplistik]

I agree w/ RabBell. I think a little more could've been done in the cart grid area and some of the buttons, but overall not bad. Design of it leaves something to be desired. Oh... and definately 100% believe you should make the text selectable in areas where there is information... like band info and your intro area... things like that.

What'd did you use as your shopping cart backend? I'm curious to know cause I'd eventually like to do something similar. And... does it process cc#s? Or how do you have that set up?

[fattony]

Yowser that rocks man, I myself and a buddy of mine are starting to build something fairly similar to this, of course not this involved but with a shopping cart integration, very nice site.

Flash and databasing really shows off some creativity only real problem is the loading time but you gotta expect that with something this involved.

[Esherido]

Oh, I'm only running like 50 kilo-bytes per sec and it loaded super fast. All ur work really shows off with that, great job and it looks and works great! ;)
