Title: MotK Listening Room
Post by: Tengukami on January 22, 2011, 06:05:28 PM
http://listeningroom.fettig.net/room/MotK/

The concept is simple: you click the link and upload music for everyone in the room to listen to. No registration, no fees. You can set a nick for yourself and chat with each other, too. Music queues up in the order received.

Keep in mind that the site is still pretty much in beta, so it can get a little laggy/buggy at times. Still, it's a lot of fun.

It was working fine for me until the SSH song came up and then it froze when it was done. I tried refreshing the page, multiple times even, even just going straight to the URL again. The room is showing as empty now.

It screwing up like this for anyone else?
Title: Re: MotK Listening Room
Post by: Unassuming Squid on January 22, 2011, 06:51:10 PM
Yeah, I'm having the same problem now. Been refreshing every couple of minutes.

EDIT: NVM, it's working again.
Title: Re: MotK Listening Room
Post by: Tengukami on January 22, 2011, 06:52:25 PM
I was too, but now it seems to be working. I suggest closing the tab and then opening the link again instead of refreshing. And yeah, it can take a few tries.

Now that we got a bunch of people in here, songs have time to fully load before they start playing. It's been working fine for me for the most part.
Title: Re: MotK Listening Room
Post by: Alice★f on January 22, 2011, 09:37:44 PM
I like the idea. I can link friends from Facebook so that they can listen to my library.

The site seems like it's down, though. (13:37 PST)
Title: Re: MotK Listening Room
Post by: UncertainJakutten on January 22, 2011, 09:52:30 PM
Yeah, it died on me too. Which was a shame, cause I had Birth of a New Witch comin' up~
Title: Re: MotK Listening Room
Post by: Tengukami on January 22, 2011, 10:11:40 PM
Yeah, it's a yo-yo. Totally up and down, but mostly up. It's beta and all, but when it runs, it runs well.

I really like the enthusiasm you guys have shown for this.
Title: Re: MotK Listening Room
Post by: Dizzy H. "Muffin" Muffin on January 22, 2011, 10:22:35 PM
D'oh, down at the moment. I've a mind to upload some of my own creations, though.
Title: Re: MotK Listening Room
Post by: Alice★f on January 22, 2011, 10:23:27 PM
*Waits for beta to be finished*

Do you register for this? If so, I'm getting an account asap
Title: Re: MotK Listening Room
Post by: PC on January 22, 2011, 11:01:16 PM
Seems like it's back up, I'm the only one there at the moment though

edit: although it's skipping over the queued songs, plays them for a second and then goes on to the next one. Weird.
Title: Re: MotK Listening Room
Post by: Alice★f on January 22, 2011, 11:10:52 PM
Testing the site out in a new room I created. Still don't hear anything.


Edit: On a laptop running Vista, Firefox 4 Beta does not work. The site works fine on Google Chrome, but the beginning of songs are usually left out... Some uploads also stop before they finish.
Title: Re: MotK Listening Room
Post by: Alice★f on January 23, 2011, 12:23:54 AM
It's working~
Title: Re: MotK Listening Room
Post by: Tengukami on January 23, 2011, 12:28:23 AM
Yeah, from what I'm seeing reported from a number of different people using the site, it works best with Chrome.

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.

It is. I wonder what the server does with all the uploaded music... It'd certainly be an easy way to pick up stuff =/
The server load must be insane, especially if DJ's get on the site...

I'm the only one in the room right now =T

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?

Unfortunately a four year old laptop just doesn't cut it for this kinda thing.

EDIT:  I take that back.  Turns out its better with Chrome.

Hilarious, it rejected the Innocent Key song.

Ahahahaha
Wow, I've had a lot of fun. I've been on that site since early in the day today. Haven't done anything else. Yup, this place is a keeper.

Are we going to do this regularly? If so, count me in...
Title: Re: MotK Listening Room
Post by: Tengukami on January 23, 2011, 04:58:12 AM
Yeah, I intend to be there regularly.

I also intend to be giving the dev feedback and encourage y'all to do the same.

Title: Re: MotK Listening Room
Post by: shadowbringer on January 23, 2011, 05:19:15 AM
it took me many attempts to successfully upload files to it, for each music (using Firefox 3.6 something, btw), and it kept halting (requiring me to F5), also it doesn't support Youtube links, which make my life so much easier than trying to download mp3/ogg and then upload them :(

But I have some hopes that the dev/team will solve these issues..

edit: Joke's on you guys, I finally got Innocent Key loaded. After what seemed like 100 tries, the site submitted and accepted my request. This time, it will not skip the track. IT WILL PLAY

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.

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.  :V

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.

If 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.

Man, it might work now, but Chrome is hell on toast.

The way I have it, I just have a Chrome window open for that site, and I do everything else at the same time in Firefox. Not much of a problem.

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 gawd, so much Lloyd Dunamis music.  XD
Oh what---- o_o

Post by: Alice★f on January 24, 2011, 10:12:17 AM
so cute~
*ahem-

Just click on the empty record at the bottom of the queue to add your music. The gray shows duration, the black is pretty much nothing. If you have album art, it'll show. If your track is completely black, it won't play.

if your track is not completely uploaded, the site will play until your song is interrupted and move on to the next one.

Anyone can upload, anyone can remove.

And yes, Lloyd, I loved your music~
Good night~

Thanks to everyone else who was there!

You know you're too addicted to shmups when...
Anyway I hope that the site someday gets to accept Youtube video links too.. saves me the trouble of downloading music and then upload it. Also, if an upload is interrupted, you have to restart it over. Plus the last time I checked the room (some 3 or 2 days ago) the site didn't take some mp3, maybe because of asiatic characters in the file information as some have said.

Once more, thank you Ammy for this GREAT great find! And thank you everyone who's been sharing music! (just gave the site a break because of some netplayable games such as Ougon and DotS, but may be back on the weekends)

It has all the features of Listening Room, plus support for YouTube videos. Only issue is that you have to have a Facebook account to be in the room, but that's easily remedied.

If you go up to the account option (top right) you can change your name to display as something else and remove the link to your facebook profile.

Also, there seems to be a problem with using Youtube links for uploading, it skips itself and the 10 or so songs following. So don't do that  :V

There were Firefox and Chrome users saying the site worked fine, although there were some uploading issues. YouTube songs play for a short while and then skip when they play at all. The chat can be laggy. But, when the songs upload, it works better than LR.
Title: Re: MotK Listening Room
Post by: Conqueror on February 06, 2011, 12:04:05 PM
I tried playing a few Youtube songs. It worked perfectly for a few songs. Then it stopped in the middle of a song, skipped to the middle of another song far down the playlist, went backwards through the playlist, and cut off half the time from the songs that it played. So yeah...

Otherwise, the functionality looks good. I haven't had any problems with uploading songs directly from my library yet, non-English doesn't seem to be a problem. and it's nice that you can upload multiple songs in one go. The volume control is also a nice touch, and I like the progress bar.

It's annoying, but you can always create an alternate facebook account relatively quickly.

Hopefully they remove the "facebook only" part...but that suggestion's almost a year in the making.

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 --

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.
