Qtrax. Rule 101 on how not to launch your world changing revolutionary legal Peer2Peer music service to the world. [UPDATE: Even more weird stuff seems to be happening…]

  1. Don’t promise what you can’t deliver on day one.
  2. Don’t think you’ve got it all sorted out just because you’ve been in gestation for four and a half years with beta traffic.
  3. Spend money on scalability testing.
  4. Try not to tell the Web that you’re going to change the world if you’re not sure you can cope with the traffic.

 Qtrax is the world’s first free and legal peer-to-peer (P2P) digital music site. Music lovers can discover new music and legally download full-length, high-quality versions of their favorite songs while compensating both the artists and the record labels through non-intrusive and relevant advertising. Qtrax has the unparalleled support of the major record labels and all of their respective publishing divisions. Qtrax and its components are developed by LTDnetwork Inc. a division of Brilliant Technologies Corporation.
