by participating, i guess you mean "providing private information about
yourself" and/or "wasting time needlessly" ... i mean, if you're posting
a song to the list for comment, it should at least be freely accessible
and *easy* to access - i.e. you should be able to click on alink from
your mail client that will automatically bring up a "save to ..." box,
not a registration page.

well, it's just that there's more than Soundclick going on ... and
soundclick seems to sort of suck. i went to download your song, then saw
what was required, and realised i was a "dork".
