I can't find the soundrop app in the app store. All I get is this when I search: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/soundrop/id364871590?mt=8

Don't think that is it. Regional thing?

Found and re-installed the app (so it's available in the UK). It only lets you into the standard rooms. Tried clicking the link outside of Zing, with Soundrop app also open and logged in, but you just get a "Spotify can't open this URL" message.

http://blog.soundrop.fm/post/49200366479/welcome-to-the-new-soundrop-web-player

Most people think of Soundrop as an app inside Spotify. While it’s true that we have an app in Spotify, Soundrop is actually a social listening platform. We make our service available wherever people want to listen to music. Our first app was made for Spotify. Then we made it possible for people to embed their Soundrop room on a Facebook page. Now, we’re upgrading our home on the web- http://play.soundrop.fm/

Looks like its using youtube. So its not even using spotify! Spotify haters can use it and not use spotify!

All your favorite rooms are here, from our popular genre rooms like Chill Out, Indie Wok or Dubstep, to official rooms for your favorite artists like Owl City, Zedd, David Guetta or many others.

The best part: it’s all the same room, whether you listen in our web player, in Spotify or on an artist’s Facebook page. Everything — chatting, voting and adding — is synced in real-time. You’re all in the same virtual room. The only difference is that our web player handles the music playback from YouTube. It’s that simple (although technically incredibly complex, but that’s what we’re here for).

And you’ll notice that the Soundrop rooms have been renovated too. Chat is back in the main room view, and we separated the activity feed. Everything is right at your fingertips.

This seems to work ok - compared to Plug you have the Spotify catalogue rather than the YouTube catalogue and you don't have dancing avatars.

Besides that it's more or less the same thing.

turrican misses the dancing bears. btw if you use spotify you can favourite songs and they go in your starred songs folder. Also it scrobbles. The web app non spotify thing is a bit more basic but if youre really against spotify its worth using.
Its worth trying for a few weeks . We all hated plug at first and wished for outloud!

― Algerian Goalkeeper, Tuesday, 30 April 2013 23:30 (3 weeks ago) Permalink

well it was a good idea until people decided it needed to be run exactly like plug... :(

― a giant death ray seems a bit overkill (Viceroy), Tuesday, 30 April 2013 23:59 (3 weeks ago) Permalink

enjoy not using soundrop like normal people do, I won't be joining you bumbling idiots.

― a giant death ray seems a bit overkill (Viceroy), Wednesday, 1 May 2013 00:01 (3 weeks ago) Permalink

I much prefer plug, to be honest, and not just because of the lack of "dancing bears" (indeed, thanks for that AG). Plug has numerous advantages over Soundrop: it's easier to moderate, everyone gets a fair turn at the tracks they want to play (the DJ queue system in plug being a lot fairer than the "hey let's add loads of tracks and vote things up" system which pretty much ensures that some folks tracks might not get played), the fact that you don't know which tracks are coming up next in plug makes things a lot more interesting, you can gauge a "crowd reaction" to a track you're playing much quicker in plug due to it's "woot"/"dancing bears" function (they're not just there to look pretty, it's part of the track rating system), the web application version of Soundrop seems to be buggy as fuck (whereas I've had ZERO problems with plug on this front)... and the points system/ranking/avatar thing makes the plug experience much more fun - Soundrop is very bland to look at.

― The Jupiter 8 (Turrican), Wednesday, 1 May 2013 00:10 (3 weeks ago) Permalink

Besides, I like the whole visual aspect of plug too... I've often liked it when people have played old/rare TV performances in there, for example, or interesting oddities from Youtube that I never would have thought of searching for myself.

― The Jupiter 8 (Turrican), Wednesday, 1 May 2013 00:14 (3 weeks ago) Permalink

personally i find the hassle of searching plug for youtube videos a total pain

― Algerian Goalkeeper, Wednesday, 1 May 2013 00:17 (3 weeks ago) Permalink

Except that it's the easiest thing in the world?

― The Jupiter 8 (Turrican), Wednesday, 1 May 2013 00:21 (3 weeks ago) Permalink

personally I find soundrop's search function much easier plus you don't have to build your own playlists beforehand... but oh well. Sorry for my outburst, I will attempt to play nice with the new soundrop room rules & regs.

― a giant death ray seems a bit overkill (Viceroy), Wednesday, 1 May 2013 00:27 (3 weeks ago) Permalink

also -- some people's tracks just don't deserve to get played, but if "being fair" is your #1 important thing I guess soundrop isn't really designed with that in mind.

― a giant death ray seems a bit overkill (Viceroy), Wednesday, 1 May 2013 00:28 (3 weeks ago) Permalink

It's not that Soundrops search function is easier, there is no difference between the search function on Soundrop compared to that on Plug. You type in something, press enter and it searches in exactly the same way. The only difference is that the search function takes slightly less effort to access. I mean, what, it's a couple of extra clicks? It's not the most taxing of physical tasks... hardly, for example, moving a wardrobe from one end of a room to the other. I suppose if it's really getting to the stage where people can't motivate themselves to click a mouse here and there, the human race is surely fucked.

I've never built up a playlist while using Plug either... usually if there's a few people in the room, you can add tracks 'on the fly' while other tracks are playing, which is what I generally do. Easiest thing in the world.

― The Jupiter 8 (Turrican), Wednesday, 1 May 2013 00:39 (3 weeks ago) Permalink

Some people's tracks just don't deserve to get played, eh? Snobbish nonsense, and a load of bollocks. People should be fully entitled to play what they like. After all, if people are posting tracks they want to listen to, and others are giving those tracks a chance, then the favour should be returned in kind. "Being fair" is very important in a communal room, else you might as well just forget the whole fucking thing and just listen to what you want away from it all.

― The Jupiter 8 (Turrican), Wednesday, 1 May 2013 00:43 (3 weeks ago) Permalink

Its so much easier to drag n drop songs from the playlists you already have on spotify. ILXors especially love their playlists and will find this part less time consuming. There's 8 people in the room just now.

People will go where everyone else is as seandalai says. He finds soundrop a bit easier and some dislike points and dancing bears and thinkits childish and hate the points "competition" which was why some outloud users refused to move to plug and of course and some love all that. But noones used plug for ages(you yourself quit plug and said you werent going back) and this seems more convenient as so many are using spotify anyway, but for those who refuse to use spotify they can use soundrop webapp which launched today that uses youtube instead but they still get the same chatroom and songs etc as those in spotify version.

― Algerian Goalkeeper, Wednesday, 1 May 2013 00:52 (3 weeks ago) Permalink

Not minded to get in a fight over this. Searching on Soundrop is easier if you know the Spotify catalogue well, searching on Plug is easier if you know what's on YouTube. I actually prefer not having the visual stuff. But ultimately I'll go where there are people playing tunes, and recently that hasn't been anywhere.

― scintilla (seandalai), Wednesday, 1 May 2013 00:53 (3 weeks ago) Permalink

some of us are on soundrop every day so its easier for us. We can go to the ilxor room if anyones around no problem. Theres lots of public rooms to use as well as user created rooms.

― Algerian Goalkeeper, Wednesday, 1 May 2013 00:57 (3 weeks ago) Permalink

and yeah since nobody has used plug for ages its been pointless trying to get anyone in there. I gave up bumping that thread.

― Algerian Goalkeeper, Wednesday, 1 May 2013 00:59 (3 weeks ago) Permalink

I couldn't deal with bears/busy interface of plug, and it felt like a waste of time to even try, but if this is better I might give it a whirl when my life settles, which will be a matter of weeks (that's good, better than months).

Well, probably is a load of bullocks w/r/t the ILXor room so yeah, that was off the mark... I'm just so used to public rooms where people load up huge playlists of bad music, in that scenario, yeah, IMO I don't think everyone deserves to have their songs heard... which is the reason for the voting function for the community to use to decide what they want to listen to in a somewhat democratic fasion, which is how it is on most soundrop rooms that aren't private or highly particular.

― a giant death ray seems a bit overkill (Viceroy), Wednesday, 1 May 2013 01:59 (3 weeks ago) Permalink

you can listen to whatever you want at any time. there are only two reasons to frequent public rooms imo: you'd like to hear something you otherwise mightn't have or you're a sociopath trying to impose your will on ppl

― mookieproof, Wednesday, 1 May 2013 02:13 (3 weeks ago) Permalink

there are a lot of sociopaths trying to impose their will on ppl in public soundrop rooms, tbrr, voting for tracks is usually a means to combat those people, not be one...
