Design is a little shabby and definitely needs work, but, work in progress...what I really need is the Google mindset of always being in "BETA"

There is absolutely no reason for you to ask users to use their paypal email for login...it makes you look like a scam site.

Thanks for the feedback run4yourlives! We debated the RIAA bit for awhile, and they seem to clearly state "renting, leasing, etc.," of a CD is illegal, the theory behind the site would be we're assisting each person on the list to sell the CD to the next user (convoluted, I know, but think eBay in a strange way)

Will be nice to have a search. I wonder if people will pay a dollar to try a CD, great idea by the way!!

Very neat. You may want to be clear on who pays to ship the CD from my house to the next user.<p>Oh, and RIAA is going to be all over your ass in a heartbeat should you actually become popular.

Cool idea, although it seems a bit scammy. I especially agree with the earlier PayPal comments in regards to the login...<p>Your description of 'how it works' on the main page should also have something like ...<p>"... don't see anything you want? No problem -- start a request list yourself!"<p>Maybe even a short flash demo for those of us with 30 second attention spans...<p>I don't understand the criteria for what CDs can be requested... do I pick it from thin air, or do you have a 'master catalog' from a distributor ya'll order from that you will make searchable? Are you placing bulk Columbia House orders??? (20 CDs for a penny!!) :)<p>Your web site is an absolute disaster design-wise... sorry I don't have any constructive tips but I'd say to get someone with an eye for that on board... it looks very retro Geocities...<p>Please explain your business model? Do you basically require 20 people (I'm making this number up) to sign up for a CD (earning you at least $20) and then you go about acquiring a $10 CD and distributing it to the first person, thus netting you some profit in the arbitrage?
