ILXOR Listening Room - DJ my day

12" was too much...

It stopped immediately after Jocko said "gotta say ciao!". He cursed it. :(

um guys, it froze coz the next track hasn't uploaded. just vote it off and we can continue

xp DJ always has the last word.

Was glad to introduce people to this song today, at least

Just as I'd noticed that the cartridge on the animated deck actually gets closer to the centre, which is A+

(sorry if this appeared in chat, typed it just before it went kaboom)

oh wait it is actually dead, RIP

boooo

Double Dutch made my day, I gotta say. Can't believe I'd never heard that before!

It comes and goes LJ

Yeah, that was awesome, I hadn't heard it before either.

back up again

i'm in, this looks fun

i think it just went down again.

Well, at least it had 2-hour windows now instead of 1-hour windows.

yeah was wondering if it was my connection

:-( "The connection has timed out"
Anyway, I must get some sleep. Thanks for the rockin' tunes guys.

such a cool concept imo

it's alive!

Things we've figured out (for first-timers)

* Your upload isn't working if the metadata doesn't arrange itself in the title/artist/album order based on the id3 tag in your mp3. Also, you should see a gray band appear on the record that will approximate the song's running time. If neither of these things happen, delete and try your upload again.

* Sometimes the system will hang on an upload. If it doesn't finish within a reasonable amount of time, delete it and try again.

* It's not cool to delete other people's tracks unless it's by a majority rule. Please, if possible, try to keep the songs a reasonable length. Anything over the 6-7 minute range is pushing it.

* Don't be afraid to be uncool. We want to hear it all.

Thanks for posting those helpful tips. I didn't know what I was doing wrong the other night.

this thing is so cool

Sorry everyone...

lol

made a replacement room: http://listeningroom.fettig.net/room/ILOVEMUSIC/

Any idea whether particular tracks are more likely to crash the thing?

I don't think that's the case. I just think the guy's server keeps getting overloaded.

thread bookmarked. i'm up for this whenever anyone is interested in spinning some tracks.

i think the website crashed

It's a regular occurrence, sadly.

blargh

It's really great for the one or two hour shifts in which it works, but then it goes down for 20 or 30 (or 60) minutes before it comes up again.

there's another site that does exactly the same thing

mixapp.com

less attractive UI, but it's never crashed on me

Do you have to have your music catalogued in a library using iTunes to use that one? Because I certainly don't.

iirc you can just upload regular old mp3s

i would kick a room off on mixapp but i don't have any mp3s at work

We'll see if this is comparable

I clicked. It just says loading rooms.

It makes you sign in with your facebook account.

volume control, check
track time, check

Hate having to login via fb, but whaddayagonnado

uh oh. you've crossed the rl ilx divide!

using real names and shit doesn't even have to get heated

this thing is awesome -- ilxchatz should consider a move from AIM to mixapp imo

Now that I know you can change your visible username and disable the link to your facebook profile, I'm all for using this!

thx for the heads-up on this, lukas

It lacks some of the rugged charm of Listening Room; on the other hand, it works.

oh hell, it won't allow .m4a files

woot xxp

Get in here, people who aren't in here.

This sounds awesome, but I'm stuck at work for the moment.

This works really great so far...it isn't buggy at all, but maybe slightly less charming. That it works is really its most important feature though.
