That was my first reaction too -- I assumed it was getting killed in development. I had no clue it had actually launched, and I'm also a Twitter user, and a musician/music fan to boot.

I suspect the lack of awareness might have as much to do with the lack of user engagement more than anything else.

Mine too and I feel like both myself and my friends are pretty well plugged in and we all completely missed this. I haven't seen any promoted tweets on my feed, nothing on FB (admittedly I don't check it that often) and nothing on G+. Also nothing from friends who usually ask me if I know about stuff like this.

I'm still puzzled how this flew under my radar.

You'd be surprised what you can somehow go without ever hearing about. I still remember walking into a bookstore and being floored by the prominently-displayed (then) new Ender series book. That's something I should have known about long in advance. I am the ideal person to advertise such a thing to.
