Thanks, I think you got the point of the post and your conclusion is spot on.

I think I would put it under what pg called "a dangerous bad idea" (can't remember the exact wording) because it initially looks like a good idea - hey, a social network for music! I might use that - but turns out to be built on a false premise.

Yes, exactly. People don't realize that you can't make. Business out of everything. Plus there are some ideas that will actually hurt you more than anything. But the great thing about this is that you learned. Lot from it. Take a break. Digest your experiences and try again with something entirely different. Before you do, get the contact details of the people who use your current app. That's a market that knows you and will be receptive to whatever you come out with. It could be the difference between failing again and turning a profit from the start. good luck.
