outloud.fm/ILXORS — it's like Listening Room but not buggy and like turntable.fm but not designed for tweens. (RIP 2012)

Interface is waaaaaaaaaaaay too complicated.

anyone for a late night session? just load something if you are

back!

Interface is definitely fiddly at first but you quickly get used to it

http://outloud.fm

It works!

This is the default web page for this server.

The web server software is running but no content has been added, yet.

Interface is waaaaaaaaaaaay too complicated.

Seriously, I've only been in for two sessions but it's completely easy once you get used to it. You just have to poke at it a bit to see how it works.

and kind of grit your teeth about how horrid it looks

I... kind of like the look. As I've said before, I prefer clean functionality over any graphics, but... I kind of like the trippy pyramids and strange creatures.

Me and crüt are playing around with it right now, if anyone wants to join in.

what's the "turntable" thing you can load from?

nm, i'll google it

anyway, my favorite thing about outloud was that you could load from your own files, you didn't have to search on this or that site. this loses that, but the ability to share videos is nice.

Oh yeah, I miss that ability, totally. This is a different thing, but seeing as we no longer have outloud, it's the best we've got.

Still no word from Michael on outloud yet, btw. It's the weekend, though...maybe he's not on fb at the weekend.

i may be here

Anybody around?

no. football is on

Also: BEAR with it, JJ. You'll get used to it.

Second call for Sunday afternoon rock party?

alright, here's the word from Michael:

hey dude. i know, i'm sorry

we're bummed too, but the reality of it is that we recently started getting letters and phone calls from BMI, SESAC, and ASCAP (the music licensing agencies) asking for money to secure licensing, since continuing to operate the site requires broadcast licenses from each agency. way more money than we are capable of coughing up right now, sadly. so at the risk of also getting legal threats for not paying up, we had to take it down for now until we figure something out. i'd like to bring the site back in some fashion, maybe something password resicted or invite only, but i'm not clear on if that would protect us legally either - we'll have to see.

:( bye outloud, it was fun.

Tis a sad day. Actually, I guess the truly sad day was several weeks ago when it actually went offline, but knowing what happened is also very sad.

Noooooooooooo.

It sounds so final. :(

WHY MUST EVERYTHING IN THIS WORLD THAT IS GOOD AND PURE DIE

I'm surprised they even let us listen to music tbh

Anyone want to kill a few minutes? With KNIVES.

Should we rename this thing to "plug.DJ/ILXORS"? Also – come on in, the music is fine!

What about a new Plug thread, and an "RIP" + lockage for this one?

I wouldn't lock this thread, but yeah, new one for plug and an RIP in the title would be good.

plug is pretty nice!

any "upload yr own tracks" service is probably not going to fly anymore, i guess...

...

Made a new thread: plug.DJ/ILXORS – it's like Outloud but not defunct and like turntable.FM but internationally accessible and with more bears

this would have been a perfect night for this shit to still work

i mean

for reals

theres always plug.dj

now that i actually made it work

it has bears and kind of sucks but hey
