For features i think taking the basic user features from the desktop browser like

i like to use the "hot" "new" lists on the explore tracks section and just leave them play, while i browse the net or read.

the dashboard should be a main screen when logging in so we can see any updates on people we are keeping track of or tracks we uploaded etc.

and not sure how possible this is but maybe able to store favourite tracks in an offline list so we don't have to be connected or logged in to browse the music collection we llisten to, if we want to do something with it that requires a connection then we get the connection popup etc. not that important a feature but something that appeals to me for when i want to show people some tracks or my collection without using my mobile net.

how does the thread title get changed to [ANNOUNCE] instead of request?
The planned workflow is pretty much as you describe. Currently I have the searching implemented. My next priority is to write the backend code for the rest and change the homescreen to something more visually appealing (I will probably use tabs similar to the SoundCloud website with dropdown options for exploring tracks/sets/groups/people).

I'm not sure if offline favourites is realistic, as it would require the storing of all data associated with each track, including artwork (unless you only want the title and artist etc). Also it would need to be synced, to account for any changes that you make using the website. It's not impossible, though. There will be an archive of downloaded tracks/playlists, and the metadata of these will be updated when the download is completed, do they will be nicely organised for playback in any media player.

It's probably a bit early to change this to an ANNOUNCE thread, as I don't anything to release yet. If you do want to change it, you just need to edit your first post, and change the title from there.
