OK. Got in there and voted for a handful and added one track. Maybe starting some genre room too. We'll see.

I'm too lazy to do the dummy account thing any more -- I guess that eventually, no matter how much we try, the bastards always grind us down. And now those jokers can figure out who I am on ILX as a result! That's been a carefully guarded secret for 11 years!

Hi there,

Please give a try to the beta of the new Android App for Android!

In order to install the beta, you need an Android phone running 2.3.3 and above. You also need to set your phone to allow installation from 'Unknown Sources'. Go to Settings > Applications > Unknown sources menu. Once that’s done, you can download the app by following the link and selecting Download.

Get it at https://soundrop.box.com/s/529bc2ffcfaa79d1b411 :)

android app crashes sometimes (it is a beta) but overall its pretty good and easy to use. chat is good too.

You just go into spotify and search the apps for soundrop and add it.
Once you have it click on that url it should take you to the ilxors room. Click on "follow" so it always shows up.
once you're in the room to chat/add/vote you need to sign into soundrop with either your twitter or facebook account. Then thats it.
You cant chat/add/vote unless you sign in.

can somebody explain why a soundrop room is better than a collaborative playlist?

― TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Wednesday, 4 July 2012 14:53 (10 months ago) Permalink

is it cause you can "chat"?

― TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Wednesday, 4 July 2012 14:55 (10 months ago) Permalink

yes

― Algerian Goalkeeper, Wednesday, 4 July 2012 14:57 (10 months ago) Permalink

i guess i'm just amazed that that's so in demand. the ability to chat.

― TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Thursday, 5 July 2012 09:09 (10 months ago) Permalink

Bump, 'cause I'm in it.

― J, Thursday, 5 July 2012 15:18 (10 months ago) Permalink

More people should use it. There's so much music to choose from and you dont have to upload mp3s. You can extend the chat window too by dragging it downwards since the last update so lack of chat space is no excuse now. Esp as plug.dj has even less chat space!

― Algerian Goalkeeper, Thursday, 5 July 2012 22:37 (10 months ago) Permalink

I'm surprised no one ever seems to be in it or whatever. Spotify has most everything and yeah -- chatting. Ya know, discussing things with friends over a few chill tracks? its a pain that I can't just easily upload an mp3 but I can usually find the song I'm looking for on spotify.

soundrop 2.0 launched today. its a bit confusing but they fixed some of the problems already and will fix more

to chat now you click over on the right and it slides out a bigger chat box now.

― 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

people havent been using plug. I gave up bumping it as noone was ever going in.

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...

― a giant death ray seems a bit overkill (Viceroy), Wednesday, 1 May 2013 02:38 (3 weeks ago) Permalink
