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

Yeah, this is pretty gross. Couldn't play a song because not enough people were in the room. Fuck this.

Oh crap, was off doing something else - are people still in there or not?

WmC, I accessed Outloud through twitter.

Use your credits to buy awesome outfits.

Noones doing it then?

I'm in.

emil.y, Friday, 29 June 2012 23:52 (eleven years ago) link

ugh, .m4a files not supported -- this thing is just crap all the way around

Biff Wellington (WmC), Friday, 29 June 2012 23:53 (eleven years ago) link

it looks...unlike Outloud

judging by the interface it wasn't merely designed for tweens, it was designed by getting some really angry and stupid tweens to threaten some other tweens and force them to imagine what sort of interface the really angry and stupid ones would like

dis civilization and its contents (nakhchivan), Friday, 29 June 2012 23:56 (eleven years ago) link

Actually, one thing I like about it is that it seems to let you upload a bunch of songs you want to play, and then to add them to the room list at your leisure - so you can queue lots of things to the site but leak them out later. Or it seems like that's the theory, anyway.

emil.y, Friday, 29 June 2012 23:58 (eleven years ago) link

To be honest, if its functionality is okay, I could get used to the stupid gimmicky avatars and shit.

How much of a hassle is no m4as, WmC? I only ever use mp3s, so...

emil.y, Saturday, 30 June 2012 00:04 (eleven years ago) link

at least it works I guess

recordbreaking transfer to Lucknow FC (seandalai), Saturday, 30 June 2012 00:04 (eleven years ago) link

chat not working

it looks like something rupert the bear would wear (Algerian Goalkeeper), Saturday, 30 June 2012 00:05 (eleven years ago) link

Wait, AG's just said that he sees no chat... have I been blathering to myself, then? Nobody else can see what I've said?

xpost - yeah, that.

emil.y, Saturday, 30 June 2012 00:05 (eleven years ago) link

I posted chat stuff, but it sounds like nobody saw it.

Hamster of Legend (J3ff T.), Saturday, 30 June 2012 00:06 (eleven years ago) link

my grafitti didnt even show up

it looks like something rupert the bear would wear (Algerian Goalkeeper), Saturday, 30 June 2012 00:07 (eleven years ago) link

I see Jeff's but not AG's. And mine is the only chat I see. Bugger.

emil.y, Saturday, 30 June 2012 00:07 (eleven years ago) link

I'm trying 'add friend' to see if that makes a difference. Though that's still hella bad design if you have to do that to chat.

emil.y, Saturday, 30 June 2012 00:08 (eleven years ago) link

so you have to be "friends" to chat with people?

recordbreaking transfer to Lucknow FC (seandalai), Saturday, 30 June 2012 00:09 (eleven years ago) link

This is terrible.

Hamster of Legend (J3ff T.), Saturday, 30 June 2012 00:11 (eleven years ago) link

Could anyone see my chat after we friended each other?

emil.y, Saturday, 30 June 2012 00:12 (eleven years ago) link

it seems kind of buggy

recordbreaking transfer to Lucknow FC (seandalai), Saturday, 30 June 2012 00:12 (eleven years ago) link

I just refreshed and everything disappeared

recordbreaking transfer to Lucknow FC (seandalai), Saturday, 30 June 2012 00:12 (eleven years ago) link

Hang on, I'm gonna try refreshing too.

emil.y, Saturday, 30 June 2012 00:13 (eleven years ago) link

Nope, still no chat. No chat = no point. I'm outta there too.

emil.y, Saturday, 30 June 2012 00:17 (eleven years ago) link

RIP

recordbreaking transfer to Lucknow FC (seandalai), Saturday, 30 June 2012 00:19 (eleven years ago) link

yeah i quit back to soundrop for me. if anyone wants to join me that would be great

I just fb messaged Michael O'Brien (one of the devs) to see if he'll shock it back to life. I kind of fear his response because it's been down so long this time, but hopefully it will be positive!

Johnny Fever, Saturday, 30 June 2012 00:28 (eleven years ago) link

Yeah, the thing is, even if they do wake it again, it looks like it'll keep breaking - it's not a priority, and we can't rely on it. We need something that we can use whenever...

emil.y, Saturday, 30 June 2012 00:33 (eleven years ago) link

I've e-mailed Stephen a couple times, never got a response.

Hamster of Legend (J3ff T.), Saturday, 30 June 2012 00:33 (eleven years ago) link

But if they have abandoned it, it really isn't a bad idea to ask for the code - if we ever find someone willing to take it on it's better to have it than not, right?

emil.y, Saturday, 30 June 2012 00:34 (eleven years ago) link

yeah

dis civilization and its contents (nakhchivan), Saturday, 30 June 2012 00:36 (eleven years ago) link

Have we tried this before? http://www.plug.dj/ilxors/

Looks like it takes Soundcloud and Youtube but not mp3s...

recordbreaking transfer to Lucknow FC (seandalai), Saturday, 30 June 2012 00:45 (eleven years ago) link

Trying it. Obviously not having totally free reign would suck, but youtube has so much on it. Why do none of these have bandcamp playing facility, though? Is it something to do with the way bandcamp streams or something?

emil.y, Saturday, 30 June 2012 00:49 (eleven years ago) link

This is working for me as a diversion - even if its not the same.

emil.y, Saturday, 30 June 2012 00:58 (eleven years ago) link

yeah this is kind of ok

recordbreaking transfer to Lucknow FC (seandalai), Saturday, 30 June 2012 01:03 (eleven years ago) link

Is it broken already? "Safari can't find the server."

Biff Wellington (WmC), Saturday, 30 June 2012 01:08 (eleven years ago) link

No, we're still in there.

emil.y, Saturday, 30 June 2012 01:10 (eleven years ago) link

Working for me on Firefox

recordbreaking transfer to Lucknow FC (seandalai), Saturday, 30 June 2012 01:13 (eleven years ago) link

This is plug.dj we're talking about, right, not rolling.fm?

Biff Wellington (WmC), Saturday, 30 June 2012 01:15 (eleven years ago) link

yes

recordbreaking transfer to Lucknow FC (seandalai), Saturday, 30 June 2012 01:18 (eleven years ago) link

this is strangely interesting.

EZ Snappin, Saturday, 30 June 2012 01:22 (eleven years ago) link

plug.dj/ILXORS - it's like outloud.fm but not dead

recordbreaking transfer to Lucknow FC (seandalai), Saturday, 30 June 2012 01:31 (eleven years ago) link

weird -- can't get at it from any of my browsers

Biff Wellington (WmC), Saturday, 30 June 2012 01:32 (eleven years ago) link

Weird. Worked fine for me from Chrome; just took a few seconds for every piece to load.

EZ Snappin, Saturday, 30 June 2012 01:38 (eleven years ago) link

This is less terrible.

Hamster of Legend (J3ff T.), Saturday, 30 June 2012 01:52 (eleven years ago) link

fuck -- http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ says it's up, but I can't get to it

Biff Wellington (WmC), Saturday, 30 June 2012 02:01 (eleven years ago) link

If you have any ad blockers or anything active, it won't load.

Hamster of Legend (J3ff T.), Saturday, 30 June 2012 02:04 (eleven years ago) link

Someone else get in here, I've got a spaced out little Teddy Bear avatar.
