It seems like the best way to enjoy the site is to find a "DJ" whose taste you can really agree with. Though unless you know someone outside of Turntable.fm, it'd be tough to discover a DJ you think is worth following.
If you're just flipping between rooms (as I ended up doing yesterday), it's quicker and easier just to do the same in iTunes radio (or similar).
I got that too. Well..I figured it was only a matter of time before someone stepped in. I'm sure on my end here in Canada, CRIA gave them a threatening e-mail.
It makes sense that it happened. It was essentially a more user-driven Pandora and look where that went. Then again, are the Pandora folks even trying to sort out those issues anymore?
I hope they get International users back in to it because it's a great connection tool, but I'm not holding out much hope.
I am sad. I was developing quite a following (and a natty cat suit) Djing in the Funky Beats room. :( I tried it throught a US-based proxy, but it didn't work, I guess Facebook has identifiers that tell them where in the world you are.
Balls. I tried a couple of proxy things, but probably because of the necessity of linking with facebook I couldn't get it going. I will cross my fingers, but I won't hold my breath. It looked like there were a lot of Japanese users on that thing, so I'm sure there's a lot of people over here missing out.
I rather liked this because it was all very colourful, light-hearted, and a grand mechanism for finding new music, which is occasionally harder than it looks. Very entertaining when people were attempting to be "serious" DJs. Appears Turntable shit themselves and went back to writing their homework before their parents came in and beat them, and to be frank, I find license issues like this a little more than infuriating. Trying to find a work-around
I had the brilliant idea to have a post-apocalypse night... after they shut out the non-US folk. It just wouldn't be the same w/out oldhat and icelandbob.
Still, anyone interested in setting aside a night for a theme?
(ETA: Oh, man, I totally forgot you had started the muxtape thing, oldhat! Seems like ages ago...)
The fella was on there earlier and said he talked to a girl in Ireland who was able to bypass the guards w/ a proxy, but of course, since she was on there, she didn't go into detail.
