That is cool. Yeah, I can see how funk would be quite popular at the roll arena. I really love that we have pretty much every music available at the press of a button these days. I can't imagine how much different our childhood would have been if we had that.
Hive has definitely been a bit off. I think a lot of it has to do with what front end you are using. I mainly use PeakD, but it has some issues loading certain parts. Ecency seems to be quite stable, but it doesn't have some of the features that I use regularly on PeakD.
