Do many people listen to electronic music a track at a time? I only listen to mixes, which can be up to 2 hours at a time. Essential mixes are great for this.

EMs are great, and I've listened to ~30 of them, but I feel like I'm 'out' of mixes to listen to given what my tastes are. My tastes are definitely pretty diverse, too.

I've been hitting youtube for mixes, and you'd be pleasantly surprised at the quality. Goingquantum is very good.

Try the Fabric blog for some quality mixes:

Thanks for the link, tried to download your track, but the download link failed.

Essential mixes are great but I still buy a lot of single tracks (from Beatport) and create my own playlists in iTunes. Occasionally I find myself listening to single tracks (usually on YouTube) of newly released stuff I like.

wouldn't a playlist feature be awesome on this site, if you like what you hear tack it to a list and show it off to your buddies or go back to it to buy the song or w/e.... thoughts?

I agree, I instantly thought of three people I wanted to share a song with. Also, I know I would want to customize my experience, because I don't like all electronic music.

+1 for this. I'd happily pay for that feature alone. Even just a simple starring system to keep track of songs I liked.

connecting your soundcloud account is probably the quickest way to do this since that's where the music is from
