The votes are in! I polled some of my peeps and here are the results:

Yes, leave the music = 3
> Shanda and Rachelle said, "It's yours & you should be able to customize it the way you want to. It's also nice to know a little more about you, music says a lot about a person.

No music, please = 3
> The main reason why people didn't want the music was that they were already listening to their own music while surfing the web.

John, you may be right from a design perspective, but the music stays for now. Besides, who doesn't love a little Madonna, mixed with Fall Out Boy, mixed with Rihanna and Christina? I promise I'll keep the playlist fresh!
