What is turntable.fm?Turntable.fm (stylized: turntable.fm) is a social media website that allows users to interactively share music. The website is run by Billy Chasen, who started it in January 2011 using revenue generated by his previous start-up to fund Turntable.fm. The service allows users to create "rooms," which other users can join. Designated users, so-called "DJs," choose songs to be played to everyone in that room, while all users are able to talk with one other through a text interface. The service opened to the public in May 2011, and by late June had already reached 140,000 active users. The company uses the Digital Millennium Copyright Act to license the music that is played on the website; because of this, only individuals from the United States are allowed to use the service.
But I'm outside the US!Hola unblocker is your friend.
Script that you install/pair with Hola.Hao2djWait for an open spot, however, in some rooms, they have queuebots that automatically kick people off the stage after they play a certain amount of songs.
What do those thumb buttons do?The red one is to "lame", it will not subtract points, but if the majority of a room lames, the song will be skipped. The green button, or the "awesome" button, gives the current DJ a point, which unlocks avatar levels as they earn more points (points are never subtracted).
Stars and Hearts?A star coming from a person indicates that they became a "fan" of the current dj, a heart coming from a person indicates a "snag", which means they added the song to their own tt.fm playlist(s).
Now that you've read all that,
This is the room we're going in.
