Overview
The home page focuses on a user finding the artist he or she is interested in. The coverflow on the front page presents the user with some of the more popular artists on the website, while the bottom section has a spotlight on newer artists, so users can expose themselves to more music. The top navigation bar has simple links to the various parts of the website: //home// navigates to the home page, //about us// gives some information on the website, //manage your profile// allows artists and users to create / edit their profiles, and finally //get started// allows users and artists to delve in to the profile creation process. If the user would like to search for an artist, they simply use the auto-completing search bar at the top right to enter their artist of choice. If the artist does not have a profile, this will direct them to a "We're sorry"-type page indicating the artist is not on Lstnr yet. Assuming the artist has a profile page, it will direct them to the Band Page for the artist.

The band page focuses on the user listening to the radio station for that band. Immediately at the top is the "Band name" radio, which provides users with a taste of music similar to the band (and of course including some of the band's songs). In addition to the normal playback controls, the radio has buttons for liking and disliking the current song, so that the user can customize the music playing to better fit his or her interests. The left column of the page is static (non-moving) while the right side can scroll. This allows users to navigate the band's upcoming show and possibly Facebook-style "Wall" posts while always presenting information about the band on the left side.
