As may be most of you already know, watzatsong.com has a new owner. I come from the gaming industry with huge communities and I promise to always take a very good care of you all!
I plan a lot of new changes and improvements and would like to share what I have so far. Your feedback and comments will be GREATLY appreciated

- Make sure that the iOS app is working properly and for sure try my best to improve its functionality.
- Port the app to Android as well
- Change the website design with something better looking, but also simple to use.
- Improve the website "post a new sample" experience allowing all popular audio files to upload with bigger sizes. Ignore the special characters in the titles.
- Improve the system that sends conformation emails, forgotten password and other messages. I know it's currently very slow.
- Improve the error messages, which I am sure most of you have seen and made no sense.
- Improve the "Listen" experience by adding a player that can Play, FF and rewind.
- Improve the "Name this Song" by adding more functionality to pull videos/music from Yourtube and other popular services. In the Answer section, under “name this song” users be able to add links to Youtube, Itunes or other music services.
