Right now we're just playing iTunes preview clips. We're working on a partnership with Spotify in order to embed full length songs or at the very least provide outbound links to purchase music on Spotify's site, especially to satisfy our Android users.

@tanyacash21 seems like an intriguing setup. so are you figuring your goal is to piggyback on the material on sites like SoundCloud and Spotify? How do you get around the licensing and royalty thing with the artists? Would certainly be interested in learning more!
