amix: Why not use unique URIs, like: http://soundkey.com/165pgx or http://165pgx.soundkey.com/Seems to be easier than having users copy-paste keys around.

evlapix: The thing I appreciate most about the site is the "SoundKeys in Action" slide show. My imagination didn't get me there, but your slide show convinced me this was a necessary service (for somebody) almost immediately.I think this is a great "outside the box" idea, yet still grounded in that it solves a problem....
