Didn't some of our China based users say this music service made up a majority of their traffic? That could have a big impact on their market standing...but that's the sort of thing they had to expect if they wanted Wall Street's money.

Hi,

I don't think I will visit again ever if they drop the music thing.

The Mp3 Search is realy cool. All one year old famous songs are there. I don't think the should do it as song as they are not giving very latest songs it should be fine with it.

My idea.

Thanks
