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.

made a replacement room: http://listeningroom.fettig.net/room/ILOVEMUSIC/
― Mordy, Wednesday, 19 January 2011 01:05 (fifteen years ago)
Any idea whether particular tracks are more likely to crash the thing?
― Dance the Bot! (seandalai), Wednesday, 19 January 2011 01:10 (fifteen years ago)
I don't think that's the case. I just think the guy's server keeps getting overloaded.
― Dr. (Johnny Fever), Wednesday, 19 January 2011 01:14 (fifteen years ago)
thread bookmarked. i'm up for this whenever anyone is interested in spinning some tracks.
― Mordy, Wednesday, 19 January 2011 01:14 (fifteen years ago)
i think the website crashed
― Mordy, Wednesday, 19 January 2011 01:18 (fifteen years ago)
It's a regular occurrence, sadly.
― Dr. (Johnny Fever), Wednesday, 19 January 2011 01:18 (fifteen years ago)
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.
― Dr. (Johnny Fever), Wednesday, 19 January 2011 01:20 (fifteen years ago)
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.
― Dr. (Johnny Fever), Wednesday, 19 January 2011 01:23 (fifteen years ago)
iirc you can just upload regular old mp3s
― just woke up (lukas), Wednesday, 19 January 2011 01:25 (fifteen years ago)
i would kick a room off on mixapp but i don't have any mp3s at work
― just woke up (lukas), Wednesday, 19 January 2011 01:26 (fifteen years ago)

We'll see if this is comparable
― Dr. (Johnny Fever), Wednesday, 19 January 2011 01:30 (fifteen years ago)
I clicked. It just says loading rooms.
― Mordy, Wednesday, 19 January 2011 01:31 (fifteen years ago)
It makes you sign in with your facebook account.

uh oh. you've crossed the rl ilx divide!
― Mordy, Wednesday, 19 January 2011 01:36 (fifteen years ago)
using real names and shit doesn't even have to get heated
― earnest goes to camp, ironic goes to ilm (pixel farmer), Wednesday, 19 January 2011 01:36 (fifteen years ago)
this thing is awesome -- ilxchatz should consider a move from AIM to mixapp imo
― Mordy, Wednesday, 19 January 2011 01:38 (fifteen years ago)
Now that I know you can change your visible username and disable the link to your facebook profile, I'm all for using this!
― Dr. (Johnny Fever), Wednesday, 19 January 2011 01:39 (fifteen years ago)
thx for the heads-up on this, lukas
― earnest goes to camp, ironic goes to ilm (pixel farmer), Wednesday, 19 January 2011 01:46 (fifteen years ago)
It lacks some of the rugged charm of Listening Room; on the other hand, it works.
― Dance the Bot! (seandalai), Wednesday, 19 January 2011 01:48 (fifteen years ago)
oh hell, it won't allow .m4a files
― earnest goes to camp, ironic goes to ilm (pixel farmer), Wednesday, 19 January 2011 01:48 (fifteen years ago)
woot xxp
― just woke up (lukas), Wednesday, 19 January 2011 01:53 (fifteen years ago)
Get in here, people who aren't in here.
― Dr. (Johnny Fever), Wednesday, 19 January 2011 02:06 (fifteen years ago)
This sounds awesome, but I'm stuck at work for the moment.
― Pink Friday XIII (jaymc), Wednesday, 19 January 2011 02:28 (fifteen years ago)
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.
― Dr. (Johnny Fever), Wednesday, 19 January 2011 02:50 (fifteen years ago)
can't do the facebook divide.we're live again in here: http://listeningroom.fettig.net/room/ILXOR

mixapp room having some issues
― earnest goes to camp, ironic goes to ilm (pixel farmer), Wednesday, 19 January 2011 03:21 (fifteen years ago)
Yeah.
― Dr. (Johnny Fever), Wednesday, 19 January 2011 03:24 (fifteen years ago)
i'm lonely :(
― thank you based jättegod (forksclovetofu), Wednesday, 19 January 2011 03:27 (fifteen years ago)
who made the singles jukebox mix?
― Dr. (Johnny Fever), Wednesday, 19 January 2011 03:29 (fifteen years ago)
This dude:http://cureforbedbugs.tumblr.com/post/2633639306/i-think-ur-a-contrarian-the-21-most-controversialu can download it from there as well

So, do you have to have Itunes on your computer to get this Mixapp thing to work? I'm not installing Itunes just because of that.
― Tuomas, Wednesday, 19 January 2011 08:38 (fifteen years ago)
No, but you do need a facebook account.
― Dr. (Johnny Fever), Wednesday, 19 January 2011 08:40 (fifteen years ago)
I'm currently just jamming songs from my own mixes in Listening Room right now.
― Dr. (Johnny Fever), Wednesday, 19 January 2011 08:43 (fifteen years ago)
Oh, when I try to log in to Mixapp with my Facebook username, it wants to get access to my FB profile and personal information. Fuck that shit, isn't there any way to get in there without FB being involved?
― Tuomas, Wednesday, 19 January 2011 08:47 (fifteen years ago)
Not yet. They claim to be working on other ways.
― Dr. (Johnny Fever), Wednesday, 19 January 2011 08:48 (fifteen years ago)
net admins here have blocked any FB access so suspect i am not going to be able to drop into Mixapp if there is a connection.so, back into the listening room i go.
― mark e, Wednesday, 19 January 2011 09:10 (fifteen years ago)
Listening Room works just fine when it's working. I spent more time on Mixapp last night with other friends after the ILM folded and it's actually just as buggy as LR.
― Dr. (Johnny Fever), Wednesday, 19 January 2011 09:13 (fifteen years ago)
chat not working for me.that big sounding track on now is Stood Me Up by FOETUS from new HIDE album.its a f*cking massive album.
― mark e, Wednesday, 19 January 2011 09:15 (fifteen years ago)
That did indeed sound absolutely huge.
― Tim F, Wednesday, 19 January 2011 09:17 (fifteen years ago)
Yeah, I was into it.
― Dr. (Johnny Fever), Wednesday, 19 January 2011 09:18 (fifteen years ago)
this is seriously killing my work today.
