Oh, are you still using blip.fm? I got kind of tired of it after awhile.

In some ways, I'm not sure if there IS a transition going on. More like hmm, a co-using.

Oh, I never used blip.fm, but I was curious about how popular it is/how it gets used/inter-platform options, etc. :)

Yeah, it does seem to be co-using. I'm disappointed more ppl don't use DW; it's not just a question of cross-posting, but where the discussions end up. I'd rather them be here, but what can I do? Make everyone put their comments on the DW posts?

I stopped using it because I stopped being able to blip half of the music I wanted to. >_< I would search there and then for some reason I couldn't blip the mp3, so I was like "this sucks" and stopped.

I think it is only to be expected. Most people (referring to LJ users) have no incentive to comment on DW posts. Why would they want to, especially if there are few or no comments on the DW post? It's only an inconvenience to them.

Well.... yeah? If someone is read by more people on LJ than they are on DW, then the discussions, IMHO, are naturally going to end up on LJ, if comments are open there.
