It is still a bit buggy... if you clear your cache that might help...

cool. you don't see many huge database-driven Flash sites like this these days.
- Nightshade0
i'm just wondering WHY they would design this site entirely in Flash. it's gotta be a lot more work for them. would it just be so they can have the music player continue playing from page to page?

I think they started that way (Flash) and kind of got "stuck" in it, not wanting to either drastically change the user experience or the technology.

Makes it harder to rip good quality audio too.

Nice upgrade. How are fully Flash based websites indexed by search engines?
- Raniator0
Going HTML 5 for those that care... at beta at the moment. It's good.
