Qtrax goes “live,” tracks nowhere to be found
Sorry to disappoint, but Qtrax is falling just a bit short of its promised 25 million tracks at launch. Qtrax busted out its software in “beta” this evening, but isn’t offering a single song — or even a working music browser. The application is a barely skinned version of the open source Mozilla-based Songbird music player, which has certainly come a long ways since its infancy, and which means Qtrax has done just about nothing for you yet — other than lie about label deals. When you launch the application it helpfully points you to a placeholder page from a Oracle application server, and that’s all you’ll be getting until Qtrax manages to get label deals sorted, which isn’t looking likely at this point.
