I have huge amounts of respect for the Mazy + the Tracks.by team and believe they can do big things, but...<p>This is disappointing. I would normally not have signed up for this service given that it requires facebook login, but I was just about to pop open pandora and figured I could use some new music. So I gave Hipset a shot. A few seconds later I see this:<p><a href="http://imgur.com/UvB9s" rel="nofollow">http://imgur.com/UvB9s</a><p>Music discovery? What? They just pulled in a bunch of status updates (ie noise) from musicians/bands I already follow on facebook and laid them out pinterest style. Really? This is music <i>discovery</i>? Well, it turns out their site doesn't even mention music discovery... Techcrunch added that bit of editorial magic.<p>Hmmm... so no discovery... but at least music.. right? Nope. There's no music on that screen. There are some tabs, though: recent posts, photos, videos, statuses. Nothing mentioning music. I don't really care about any of that. I came for music. And I'm gone as quickly as I came.

I know this has been discussed a million times here, but: "Connect with Facebook". No thanks, tab closed. Sorry!

The integral dependency on FaceBook for this service makes me wonder if this is built with the goal of eventually being acquired by FB.

Do you have any plans to integrate with services that track a users's music listening history, such as last.fm?<p>I used to list a set of my favorite artists on Facebook, but I stopped doing this after facebook made a number of changes around pages and activity. I can see value in a service that gives me a dedicated place to view aggregated and deduplicated social media updates from artists I like.

BTW: For those wondering, we have not yet turned on the Facebook Open Graph Actions. It will not auto share with your friends when you look at content right now (and when we do turn that on you will have the ability to easily turn it off).

"Uncaught The Javascript Facebook SDK must be loaded before calling init.". I have Facebook Disconnect installed and all i see is a big blank page. <a href="http://i.imgur.com/KlK8n.png" rel="nofollow">http://i.imgur.com/KlK8n.png</a>

Looks very slick guys! How do I specify the artists I want to follow? As great as it is pulling the data from Facebook it's outdated and I'd like to add more.

I love the idea, congrats to Mazy and team!

Only complaint is that it looks blurry on the Retina MBP. All of the text and images, mostly the posts rather than the menu bar. I like the product but would love more discovery features as other users have said.

What is it with every startup these days being named /Hip[a-z]+/?

I'd love to check it out, but it's crashing the page in both Chrome 22.0.1229.6 dev and Safari 6 on Mountain Lion.

I use a chrome extension called disconnect, that blocks tracking from facebook, google, twitter, etc.<p>When I open hipset it looks like this: <a href="http://imgur.com/9hEX5" rel="nofollow">http://imgur.com/9hEX5</a><p>Nada, nothing.<p>When I allow facebook I can see the site.<p>This and the facebook only login, made me instantly close the site and forget it. Btw, I work two jobs: Programmer and musician. And that site was just disappointing on all fronts.
