Looks pretty good.

I would add an About page...FAQ page and Contact page to add more credibility to your site.

Looks very good - very professional! I would second what Dale King said, though - the first thing someone will want to do is see who is behind the site. Definitely wouldn't want to let them down! Good work on the site!

Thanks for the feedback.

I am still working on the site along with trying to build up artist to entice music listeners to come.

I'd change the coloring of the google ads to fit in better. I cant remember if they have a "transparent" option, but that would work best. Needless to say, I still decided to click musicsubmit.com ad to get you jumpstarted on making a few dollars.

Also, I'd look for a bit "hotter" models for that ipod section on the front page. The ones there now just don't scream for attention.

I see you are officially orginized. You set up an LLC. I am truley impressed.

You seem to be on the right track.

Here's a tip though. Get rid of that email address and set up a feedback page, you are going to get a lot of spam on that address if you leave it on your front page.

I like your website very much, but I believe you should design an about page, a FAQ page, a feedback page, and a contact page. I'm sure people want to know who is behind the website. Other than that, the website looks very professional and easy to navigate. Keep up the great work.

Advertisement for right now. Once we have the website fully operational and a steady stream of users, we will allow the artist to upgrade or create a seller account. They then can sell their mp3s for $.99. We will keep $.24 they get $.75. This is similar to what CD Baby and Orchard but we don't charge a fee for the artist to add their music. To compensate for free signup and artist who will not sell, we will keep the advertisement in place.

We have big plans for the future (i.e. UGMobile, a physical store front and more). This is just the launching point.

Sam,
UGMobile will allow listeners to listen to their custom playlist on their mobile device. They will have to go to UGMedia's home page login add/remove artist to their playlist and they can access this playlist from their mobile device.
