Yeah, from what I'm seeing reported from a number of different people using the site, it works best with Chrome.It is. I wonder what the server does with all the uploaded music... It'd certainly be an easy way to pick up stuff =/
Keep in mind that a link to the site was posted on the front page of Metafilter today, so it's also probably getting huge traffic right now. That it's running as well as it is despite the traffic is pretty remarkable.
I'm the only one in the room right now =TWeird, me and Minch have been there for a while. Maybe try what Ammy said earlier about opening a new tab instead of just hitting refresh?
Maybe that's also why streaming in the room is more reliable now.
Weird, me and Minch have been there for a while. Maybe try what Ammy said earlier about opening a new tab instead of just hitting refresh?I made a room called MoTK
Get your ass back in there, you've uploaded good music :3I will when I have access to a better computer. :3
dat queue
I also intend to be giving the dev feedback and encourage y'all to do the same.I sure will. If I ever see the developer, I'm buying him a drink.
*Hanged Hourai uploads a .png just to see what will happen when it tries to play itIf the png crashes, we are putting it on your head you know.
:3
Well now I can just open this room in the background instead of going to the trouble of building a music playlist!Good luck trying to make it work then.
Good luck trying to make it work then.It's what I'm doing lol.
Is the room still working? It looks broken from here...
I like how iTunes so royally borked up my albums that it thinks every song comes from Weird Al's Poodle Hat. I also can't tell if 2/3 of the stuff I'm trying to put on there is going on or not, or even why it wouldn't be.I was wondering why Bokurano had an amazingly misleading album cover. :V
EDIT: Sure enough, the majority of things I tried to upload just didn't take.
D-D-D-DOUBLE EDIT: Only real correlation between any of the things it just doesn't want to upload seems to be Japanese characters in the title or album name, and yet others don't have this problem whatsoever. What the hell?
I was wondering why Bokurano had an amazingly misleading album cover. :VIf I need to swap over to Google Chrome just to upload specific songs, then I'd just rather not upload stuff. The downside is most of the stuff I would want would be Touhou-related things, and those are the only things it hasn't taken.
Also, if you're not using Chrome already, do it. As for missing uploads, refresh the page once just to make sure it didn't catch it, then you'll just have to re-upload. Sorry.

Guys there's only like 3 songs left in the queue
(How long did it take you to burn through the massive one?)

So, can we put any music there we like, does it have to be touhou-related music, does it have preferred genres, or.... :/Put whatever you want. As long as we dont riot over it.

I can't thank Ammy enough for sharing this with us.
I can't thank Ammy enough for sharing this with us.Agreed.
I just found it on Metafilter, that's all. It's not like I built the site or something.WHATEVER man lol this is awesome
Did anyone else get booted? >_<I think it died x.x
I think it died x.x
Yeah, it's working~~~~It's the stuff I upload ._.
And the queue is becoming fat again
Also: Three songs deleted because Yuyuserver lol

Read from bottom to top.
Oh gawd, so much Lloyd Dunamis music. XDOh what---- o_o
GODDAMMIT SUIKAMA AND YOUR BEES
Wh-whoever did upload that...uhm......... AAAAAAAAAAH I HHHAAAAAATE YOU~~ :sarcasm: >///////////<;;
/me hides in embarrassment
Don't let Suikama and his meme songs get to you, heh. Eventually the novelty will wear off and I'm sure he'll post real music in time.He did. The bees file was just a touch.
Ah, so...basically, we upload MP3s to it, right? Then after that uploaded song finishes playing and if you want to let people there listen to it again, you'll upload the MP3 again? Looks like a hassle...well, for someone not having a stable net connection right now, that is...
Though I can see everyone's enjoying the room~ =w=
Hopefully the site/page becomes stable & stuff soon.
Goodnight, GV~ :3...when you get to sleep, that is.
Oh what---- o_o

That is true. I apologize.I got Rolling girl playing right at this moment
In fact, I hope you post more Vocaloid.
I posted my fair share.

You're saying that because you weren't around when me and Vic were rockin together
Haha. I still remember BEES from Suikama. I wonder where he got it as I couldn't find it (or didn't searched hard enough) to find it on youtube.BEES.MP3 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8nxuRwkVPx0)
Edit: Awww... we partied so much on listening room, it exploded to millions of glittery magical pieces. I hope its back up soon.

"That said, the fact is that Listening Room involves streaming music over the Internet, and according to US copyright laws you need additional permission from the copyright holder to do that."

RIAA is pretty much a joke anyways

hime-Trance 10:57 PM

"Listening Room can operate under existing agreements for Internet radio broadcasting. This is called ?statutory licensing?, because it?s determined by law ? the same rules apply to everyone. I keep track of all the songs getting streamed, and pay the standard rates to licensing agencies. Copyright holders get paid, and Listening Room can operate without any fear of getting shut down. Yay!"
So Listening Room might run as a paid service / or on donations / ads / whatever you
Hakurei Reimu 10:59 PM
makes you wonder why is independent music growing so much
headcrabs 10:59 PM
indie companies grow so much because they don't fucking deal with the riaa crap

"So, for example, if you have 10 people in a room and everybody kicks in one credit, you can all listen to 10 songs. I?m still working on the exact figures, but each song credit will only cost a few cents. It?s super inexpensive, and I think the fact that people are paying for the entire room to hear a song is a good fit for the social vibe of Listening Room."
headcrabs 11:00 PM
you can't stop people from downloading files that are a few KB or MB in size when compressed

If you guys want an alternative to listening room, Mumuplayer (http://www.mumuplayer.com/) does the job quite well. The only catch is that the rooms are limited to 5 persons each.
>5 personsNo shit, but it's a good alternative for now.
Yeah...I think we're more than 5 people >.>
No shit, but it's a good alternative for now.Guess we'll use it for now then. (http://www.mumuplayer.com/motk1)
So wait, you NEED a facebook account for that?
Whyyyyyy...
Just wanted to provide a bit of background on why, at least for the moment, we've set up MixApp to require login via Facebook --^Lazy bums.
This was ultimately an issue of limited resources on our part. We needed a way to integrate social networking functionality quickly and easily, and for the many, many people who use Facebook regularly, a Facebook-based account provided the functionality we needed with relatively little software development effort -- so we see this as the best way to grow the MixApp community while we're getting off the ground.
To be sure, nothing is set in stone, and in the future I expect we'll integrate with Twitter, OpenID, OAuth, OpenSocial, and every other single sign on or social graph system with enough traction to make sense. However, given MixApp's friend-based nature this is a non-trivial development task compared to the simplicity of the Facebook-only setup, and for now we need to focus on more immediate goals.
For what it's worth, the rest of the MixApp team and I also have concerns about Facebook's attitude towards privacy and control, and we're eager to get the resources we need to give you a choice on this front.
If you'd like to know when we have a non-Facebook login option, please let me know (brahn at mixapp dot com), and I'll shoot you an email when we do. Until then, I really appreciate your patience as we try to get MixApp off the ground.
So wait, you NEED a facebook account for that?
Whyyyyyy...
Well all is not lost (http://fettig.net/weblog/2011/02/09/good-news-for-listening-room/)but its a private beta... :/
Well yes, people can't be on all day every day. And if the channel is void of music, you're welcome to upload some yourself =]
