Yeah, I saw the old version. It looked like a not-particularly-unique music-based social network, so I always bounced from the homepage.
I don't care about games, points, hearts, enthusiasts, community, or any of that -- I want good music playing in the background while I do other things.
IMO this new redesign is both unique and more accessible. If it's about music the music should be front-and-center, no? Sometimes you have to cannibalize your users to reach a larger audience.
I know I'm probably going to go to T61 every day, now. I've already bought two albums based off of what I found there, and before the redesign it was totally uninteresting to me.
