Guys, a lot of things were fixed and done on Disc Shelf for the past couple of weeks, also the ability to embed albums was added (you can read on that in FAQ).
However, the provider is experiencing technical difficulties, so for the past week Disc Shelf was slow as hell, especially for people in the USA. I am very sorry for that. In most cases you can just hit pause and it will buffer, just like with YouTube.
Anyway, I once more invite you over - the service now runs smoothly and as for connection problems they will be resolved soon as we will move to another provider.
