Basically you would have a continuous stream made up of the newest songs that have been uploaded to the site. Sort of an audible version of the "Newly Uploaded Songs" page. Potentially it could have some intelligence and only show you new songs that you might like based on your past ratings of music, this gets tricky though because the song is new, it has no ratings on which to base recommendations off so perhaps you would need to base the recommendations off of the genre of the band rather than ratings.

Anyways, he had the relatively brilliant (at the time they were all brilliant ideas, right?) of starting a new music revolution. In fact, he did register themusicrevolution.com, and was on his way to creating a company revolving around just this sort of thing. In fact, I bet I still have my signed ownership papers for my little piece of the pie. Have to look into that ;) Anyways, that domain is up now and looks basically to be an attempt to create a database of artist music in fully searchable format. It's even using a media wiki install so they are well on their way. But how cool would a site like that become if they had this idea set up for the bands that were joining and attempting to spread their words (and notes) around the globe, or just around town? Pretty cool, I'd think. Remember to Always Go Boldly!
