Yea Flixa was why I took hiatus from school. But the filmmaker I was working with wasn't too enthusiastic. I started Like.fm as a side project so I can revisit songs I hear from iTunes radio and noticed after the first day I put it up (the version that allowed signups) many eons ago, people were spontaneously signing up. And this was back when it looked ugly(ier) and even less functional. So I took the path of least resistance.
Hi Chris, for your interest, Foxytunes was acquired by Yahoo and allows the control of media players while showing metadata all from within the browser.
