R.I.P. Rolling.fm [& Turntable.fm]

[Shaun]

I saw this a couple of months ago on Popjustice and it looked a little exclusive - it still does. It's essentially from the team that made last.fm (I think!?) where you can share music with friends and strangers in order to discover stuff. There's also the option to rate other members' selections and they can then go on to build reputation (if that's what you want to do... I'm really just there to discover music).

Anyway I decided to make a TiBB room. It says it's invite-only but I just managed to get in by logging in with Facebook (you have to "allow" the Turntable application, it should be quite easy). Here's the room:

http://turntable.fm/4e36529114169c6b5a05f5ff

Up to 5 members can DJ at a time (on a turn-taking basis) and yeah I made this mostly for fun :) Only members who have this link can join the room, so don't worry, no randomers :D (and please don't give it to others... not that you would anyway, unless you want people knowing about arista?)

I'm the moderator of it since I created it, so no misbehaving or being mean about others' musical tastes :nono: (the IRONY. <3)

We're very sorry, but while we would love to let you in and rock out with us, we need to currently restrict turntable access to only the United States due to licensing constraints.

We are working very hard to try and get you in as soon as possible.

If you believe this is a mistake and you are located in the United States, please e-mail help [at sign] turntable dot fm

Again, sorry, and we hope to see you soon.

[Shaun]

I feared this was the case. I guess I must have been lucky and had someone on Facebook already have it

edit: it's still in Beta stage, which is why they've restricted it to the US (and invites)

[Novo]

How did Nate get on there then

[Benjamin]

I can't get on. :(

[Shaun]

He must have me as a FB friend. But then Ben does too :suspect:

[King Gizzard]

I don't know D:

[Shaun]

Someone else please get in, Nate's just managed to play Rolf Harris :bawling: edit: I sent you a FB message, 'Rage' ;)

[King Gizzard]

Good old Maggie

[Benjamin]

It still won't let me, even on my Facebook invite. :sad:

[King Gizzard]

I suppose I took the first invited by clicking the link first D:

[Benjamin]

Oh try inviting me Nate.

[King Gizzard]

My song dragged on a bit whoops

[King Gizzard]

How do I invite people?

[King Gizzard]

We so excited

[King Gizzard]

Oh..sent you an invite Ben

[Shaun]

Signup
I have Facebook friends already on turntable.fm, but I still can't sign up. What's going on?
Have your friend log out of Turntable and back in again, and try to log in then.
Are we eventually going to be able to have an account if we aren't on Facebook?
Yes, eventually.

-tries logging out and in again-

The USA gets everything first :bawling:

[Shaun]

I'll have to bump this when it goes global then :(

[Lewis.]

:(

Silly USA...

[King Gizzard]

might go spit some more beatz

[Lewis.]

Wait, Shaun... you don't live in the USA though?

[Benjamin]

Wait, Shaun... you don't live in the USA though?

http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lownlcgmk31qii6tmo1_250.gif

Neither does Nate. :(

[Lewis.]

:suspect:

[King Gizzard]

I think what happened was probably the first person to come in after shaun got one and that's it

[Marc]

I can't get passed the error message

[Harry!]

Nate you should blast out some AQUA <3

[Shaun]

Yeah I really don't understand how I got in

[Ramsay]

:bawling:
stupid US

[Lewis.]

Yeah I really don't understand how I got in

Perhaps it was open to all when you joined?

[Shaun]

I joined like 10 minutes before Nate did and Ben/Novo tried to :laugh:

[Lewis.]

Oh right.. thought you joined 2 months ago :hugesmile:

[Shaun]

I can't get in now :bawling:

but Lady GaGa and Kanye West have invested $7.5m into it and it's looking likely to clear up some legal issues, so I imagine it'll be global again soon

[Patrick]

Racist Bastards.

[Shaun]

It seems we have a universally open alternative :) rolling.fm is basically the exact same thing.

Here's the room: http://www.rolling.fm/web/room2/2644328
All you need is a Facebook account to log in with.

[Shaun]

-waves to karl and harry-

[Ramsay]

:xyxwave:

[Shaun]

[Harry!]

Says it doesn't work on IE so it took me to my homepage lol. So I can't do it, sorry :(

[Tom4784]

I've just logged in but I don't know what to do so now i'm shaking what my momma gave me to The Cure.

[Doogle]

Am I meant to be able to hear what you lot are playing cos I cant hear anything :joker:

[Shaun]

You can click "hot" if you like it and "weak" if you don't. You can edit your profile by clicking the arrow at the top saying "Me". You can click the DJ booth to pick a song, and to choose your own DJ playlist click "add songs" on the left.

Except this gay DJ.
Yeah! :amazed: but still remove my surname from your post please?

[Patrick]

Wait... So could I just go in there and throw any old song on for you to listen to?

No because for some reason the site is being a dick and says we have to have songs on a playlist - which I don't know how to do.

Do we need to PURCHASE MUSIC to play them? If we do then ****** this.

[Lee.]

Just click in add songs to playlist...

But still.. remove my surname please

[Patrick]

Yeah! :amazed: but still remove my surname from your post please?
