YOO!! So I have been hanging around turntable.fm a bit lately and there is alot of good new music but not the best classics. I think it's up to us to bring that Boombox sound to the people. I set up a room where we can log in and play tunes for an audience. Here's a snippet of what the site does:
So what is Turntable.fm? It’s a browser-based chatroom that streams music based on the choices of a rotating cast of DJs drawn from whoever is in the room. There are up to five DJs at any one time who create playlists; the station cycles through the playlists one song at a time, moving from one DJ’s pick to the next, as the room votes on how “lame†to “awesome†the track is. A (sometimes fast-moving) discussion takes place in a chatroom on the bottom right of the screen. DJs get points for picking popular songs and if enough people think a song is lame, it skips to the next. You can upload songs or search through the Medianet-powered library to create your playlist when it’s your turn to DJ.
It's a lot of fun if you like music, so if you feel like it take a look. Here's a link to the BBXRY page. http://www.betabeat.com/files/2011/06/turntable.jpg
I'll play some tunes in there in case anyone decides to show up. My name on there is KidRippa
