Re-redesign? It was a year ago. We tried to get them on then.

New app for Android/iOS. Very similar to responsive web version.

App came out soon after!

How is Jamendo dev team? 8 people. 7 devs, and one manager.

1 dev is UX/graphic design.

Always been a music platform, where you can upload music. No filters.

“Only WAV, FLAC or AIFF (16 bit/24 bit, 44.1 kHz/48 kHz, 1 or 2 channels) files are accepted. The maximum file size is 480 MB. Any album that is less than two minutes in full length will be subject to moderation.”

From the email: “It's a really nice goodbye track, just released in the past few weeks, it has that melancholy and underlying feeling of closure.

It's only the second single from British-born, Australia-based musician Zack Linton since he first appeared on Jamendo last year, and his bluesy rock sound is so good, so well written and produced, I just can't get enough from the guy. I'm going to need to start harassing him to release more tunes!”
