I am from We7. Thanks for you input. Replying to a couple of points:
----- The music inexplicably stops 10 seconds before the song's done, but there's still no second ad.
Thanks for this. Some of the tracks had iTunes meta data in them and so stopped early in iTunes. They have now been removed and the content will be uploaded later this morning.
----- I don't know how they make money off of advertising their own service in the beginning of the song. Does anyone have an answer for this? And couldn't anyone just download a song, then import it in an audio editor like Audacity, delete the 10 second ad in the beginning and export it back? A quick scan of the terms doesn't seem to prohibit that.
The terms and conditions for the main site (released next month) will prohibit this. It will of course still be possible to remove the ads but we are targeting people who would like to be completely legal. If you don't mind that its not legal there are already many places you can go and download (without ads).
