DrNo Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Is there a ViaChicago room on turntable.fm? I haven't found one yet but the site is kinda buggy for me at times. Been having a blast on it for the past week or so though--with all the musical knowledge on this board I'm sure we could get a lively room going for those interested.

ih8music Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 There doesn't appear to be a "Via Chicago" one, though there are a couple of (empty) ones that are Wilco-themed. Funny, I was just on that site and bitching about the crappy options for the currently active rooms. I'll have time to "play" in a couple of hrs... but in the meantime, you can create one & hopefully others will join. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ghost of Electricity Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 I've been politely locked out of the party due to living in the wrong place. Is it something like last.fm? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tinnitus photography Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 i think there are proxys around that? but yeah...it's a US thing i think. hey, we can't get Spotify... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ghost of Electricity Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 If there are i'm not that savvy. they claim they're trying to change it, so i'll check back in a few weeks. edit: just checked spotify and that ain't available here either. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ih8music Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 I've been politely locked out of the party due to living in the wrong place. Is it something like last.fm?It's been a while since I used last.fm... but at this site, you join a "room" that has (usually) 5 DJs playing songs. Rooms are usually themed by genre, etc. You can like/dislike songs that get played & there's a chat feature to discuss the songs or whatever. If a song is rated too low (35%, I think) it gets skipped. DJs get points based on how well their songs are liked. that's about it, nothing elaborate... but pretty damn addicting if you get into an active room with good djs. edit: forgot to mention that anyone can be a DJ... you just have to wait for a spot to free up.

tinnitus photography Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 turntable.fm, not last.fm i think it's pretty fun. but getting in the right room is key. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Shakespeare In The Alley Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 I've been spending a lot of time on the site with a good bunch of people from Atease, and it's a blast. Really hope it doesn't get shut down or made into a pay site anytime soon, because it's pretty awesome. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
