This is awesome. Any plans to add a speed slider vs 50%/Full? It would be super helpful to slow down to 25% on some songs.

Great. Now take that and explain it like i'm 5. Then put that on your website.

Not really. What problem are you trying to solve and what are the benefits to me? This is a much better splash page but the copy is still pretty bad - https://www.workio.com/about/

If you are talking strictly about money, the majority have figured out how to trade their value for something other than an hourly wage/salary. You can only make so much money by trading your time for it.
Typical Engineer: 2000 work hours/year * $50/hour = 100k/Year
John Carmack: 1.7 million copies of Quake * $1 profit = 1.7 Million/Year
Jeff Dean: # of Google shares * $756 = $?

I agree with your retirement point but Telsa didn't exactly get satisfaction from the achievements of Edison while working for him.

Be sure to thank your employer for their insecurities and inferiority complexes with your next paycheck.

I just find it sad people write themselves off as never being rich or running their own business. There are 16 year olds making 6 figures writing their own iphone apps yet people view their only alternative to programming is moving to middle management.

This sounds pretty depressing to me. You're building the software that allows others to retire while you're a cog in someone else's wheel for another 33 years.
Why not build your own achievements?

Great idea until the study on frozen sperm comes out.

Not too be too negative but I don't see anything that would take more than a week to build here (technically). The hard part is going to be to stand out among the other thousands of sites with the exact same model.
