EZ Snappin added Beat of Love by Voice of the Beehive from Let it Bee. ( 9:49 AM )
Gracious Fellow added Color Of Success by Morris Day from Color Of Success. ( 9:42 AM )

generous cat???

it randomly generates these weirdo animal usernames
i got "glowing rabbit"

the spinning artwork is freaking me out.
no idea how that happened.

this sounds weird spinning artwork?

it pulls your mp3 info including the album cover and then the album cover appears as a record, which spins.

aw it's not doing the spinning album covers for me

tempted up upload Mouldy Old Dough by Earl Brutus - but concnered this would allow the track to be 'leaked' ?

honestly i'm digging what forks is listening to too much to add my own shit yet!

ha.
each room needs a bookmarking list so you can flip between each one.

yeah, i'm juggling like three and missing stuff.
this is killing my productivity today

okay, so if the record is totally black, it won't load the song. If it's got a picture on it, it's fine. If there's gray on the record, that's the playtime.

so, are we supposed to upload mp3s to it ?
if so, then surely this is open to the same kind of troubles as muxtape ?

this doesn't allow direct downloads though does it? it's just streaming? it'd be more comparable to internet radio then, or someone running a shoutcast server, which i don't know the legality of.

yeah.
i realised once i got a room up and running and started playing around.
going to try and figure out which album artwork is going to be fun to watch spinning.

I guess "Listo Medellin" didn't play then since I shut my PC off when I left for work.

wch is okay because I forgot I only like about 1/3 of that song a lot and the rest is kind of weird.

aaaaand now it's down?

seriously, we gotta get this on ilx. it's the killer app we need.

i think it's an FMU guy who made the site; their community found it over the weekend and broke it.

swag cru beat yall to this by several hours lol B-)

its cool but it only really works w/ like at max 5-7 participants ...

otherwise its like one of those parties where ppl fight over the ipod

i think my pimp c track broke the site.

pimpin aint dead it just moved to the web

fixed now

mmmm, nope

back again
shit goes up and down like a piston
once they get this working, killer ap

awesome!

added a song

- and it got cut off

*SADFACE*

The Sharrock I added got cut off too!

it's just madness in here.

needs:

-volume control
-track/elapsed/remaining time, in actual numbers, not with the tone arm traveling across the record
-ability to reorder the track queue

I'm trying to use this now, but I have no idea if anything's happening?

It keeps freezing up my browser (when I try to play something), so I've stopped trying it for now.

c'mon guys i'm counting on you to soundtrack my afternoon.

ok, you asked for it

also needs: drag-and-drop track adding

-ability to reorder the track queue

i kinda like how this limitation forces ppl to play by the rules tbh

I think I figured it out, but I'm still not sure if anyone else hears the same music.

join

I don't know who's Adele, but this is a nice tune!

this room is like tuomas & forks uploading 20 songs each

Hey, anyone can upload! I did it earlier because no one else was doing it, but now it looks like others have joined.

i just feel like ppl should self-limit to 1-2 songs each unless theres like 2 ppl in the room

at a time

but w/e ill probably be in the gunsounds room more often anyway

Yeah, I see what you mean, I'm not gonna upload more now that there's plenty of people there.

We broke it again.

I thought is was my connection.

"A work in progress"

Well, I needed to go to sleep anyway. But hopefully it'll work again in the future, this was pretty fun.

and got a response back in ~5 minutes. back up!

re: turntable.fm

Can't remember if it was mentioned here or not, but I just posted this in another place and thought I'd reiterate here.

I've played around on turntable.fm a little bit and, while it has some cool aspects, it turns the experience into more of a contest or game than I'm comfortable with. I'd rather just hang with people I know and play tunes instead of voting things up or down. Also, the chat portion of turntable.fm is deemphasized in favor of some totally dumb "virtual club" setting which looks like an 8 year-old's video game. No thanks.

this is all true but I like that it automatically rotates among the room DJs so your tracks are shuffled better

also if you just create a small room and have a few people in there it's just hanging with people you know playing tunes

i.e. you don't have to bother with the voting business

also like that it sends you an email if one of the "DJs" you're "following" logs on

so you can know if any friends are on

Your positives register with me, but I still think the format/layout is really non-conducive to a good time.

it definitely looks corny. the avatars are like Wii characters.

oh yeah forgot I also like that you can search and play tracks from a database. I can't really upload anything from work so I could only use outloud as a listener

Fresh blood?

turntable.fm, front page:

We're very sorry, but while we would love to let you in and rock out with us, we need to currently restrict turntable access to only the United States due to licensing constraints.

We are working very hard to try and get you in as soon as possible.

That settles it, I guess? I think Outloud has worked really nicely, with few of the problems Listening Room had. It's a pity you have to use you a Twitter/FB account to log in, but you can just create a fake Twitter account like I did. I don't see any need to use another site at the moment.

I'll be around for bit starting...now.

Bump for 4th hour of Zoogz Rift marathon.

Zoogz Rift segueing into alleged experimentalism, catrock revisited, intermittent rain showers and possibly some frogs.

And Motley Crue.

bump.

tirsdagsJAM

It's grungey in here. HALP

night time bump.

that sounds sexual, but it isn't. (or maybe it is.)

Anyone tried this Google+ Hangout thing yet? Apparently you can share YouTube, but also music?

somebody is playing a guitar and making a guitar-face

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

the ~tbrr~ room we did on LR for avantgarde/noise/etc was great for about four days before the software went to shit

id like to do something similar on outloud but the 20mb limit is pretty restrictive on duration and/or quality for a lot of this stuff idk

Do it!
