i think it just went down again.
Well, at least it had 2-hour windows now instead of 1-hour windows.

:-( "The connection has timed out"Anyway, I must get some sleep. Thanks for the rockin' tunes guys.

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.

Any idea whether particular tracks are more likely to crash the thing?
― Dance the Bot! (seandalai), Wednesday, 19 January 2011 01:10 (thirteen years ago) link
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 (thirteen years ago) link
thread bookmarked. i'm up for this whenever anyone is interested in spinning some tracks.
― Mordy, Wednesday, 19 January 2011 01:14 (thirteen years ago) link
i think the website crashed
― Mordy, Wednesday, 19 January 2011 01:18 (thirteen years ago) link
It's a regular occurrence, sadly.

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 (thirteen years ago) link
there's another site that does exactly the same thing
mixapp.com
less attractive UI, but it's never crashed on me
― just woke up (lukas), Wednesday, 19 January 2011 01:21 (thirteen years ago) link
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 (thirteen years ago) link
iirc you can just upload regular old mp3s
― just woke up (lukas), Wednesday, 19 January 2011 01:25 (thirteen years ago) link
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 (thirteen years ago) link

We'll see if this is comparable

I clicked. It just says loading rooms.

It makes you sign in with your facebook account.

using real names and shit doesn't even have to get heated

this thing is awesome -- ilxchatz should consider a move from AIM to mixapp imo
― Mordy, Wednesday, 19 January 2011 01:38 (thirteen years ago) link
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 (thirteen years ago) link
thx for the heads-up on this, lukas

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 (thirteen years ago) link
oh hell, it won't allow .m4a files

This sounds awesome, but I'm stuck at work for the moment.
― Pink Friday XIII (jaymc), Wednesday, 19 January 2011 02:28 (thirteen years ago) link
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.

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 (thirteen years ago) link
No, but you do need a facebook account.
― Dr. (Johnny Fever), Wednesday, 19 January 2011 08:40 (thirteen years ago) link
I'm currently just jamming songs from my own mixes in Listening Room right now.
― Dr. (Johnny Fever), Wednesday, 19 January 2011 08:43 (thirteen years ago) link
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 (thirteen years ago) link
Not yet. They claim to be working on other ways.
― Dr. (Johnny Fever), Wednesday, 19 January 2011 08:48 (thirteen years ago) link
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.
