Radiooooo – The Music Time Machine
- twhitmore 7y agoVery cool. Listened to some French and African 70s stuff.. Thanks for posting this. One minor glitch -- user registration form wouldn't work for me. It told me there was an error, therefore "my email must already be registered".
- benjaminmoreau 7y agouse this new adress: https://radiooooo.app https://radiooooo.app it fix a lot of bugs !
- DyslexicAtheist 7y agothanks, this actually works and solves the mixed content issues. fantastic app
- deleted 7y ago[deleted]
- mzs 7y agoThe new one added a breaking bug. With the old address I can option select the text with a mouse to copy/paste. It may not seem a big deal, but many of the strings for foreign songs are not ASCII so they are hard to type otherwise.
- pgt 7y agoWow, this is awesome. Many of the songs can't even be ID'd by Shazam and are not on Apple Music. I wish the initial modal dialog was easier to close and that the current track ID was reflected in the URL bar, e.g. http://radiooooo.com/?track/df3115c7-4eea-4d26-aba9-3c1905420d5a http://radiooooo.com/?track/df3115c7-4eea-4d26-aba9-3c190542...
- wensley 7y agoI found some great tracks from around Africa but can't find them on Spotify.
- benjaminmoreau 7y agohttps://radiooooo.app https://radiooooo.app is the beta test new version you should try :)
- reaperducer 7y agoMany of the songs can't even be ID'd by Shazam and are not on Apple Music. I have this same experience almost every time my wife comes back from a record store, the library gift shop, or a thrift store. Digital services like to talk about the tens of millions of songs and videos they have. They don't like to talk about the hundreds of millions of songs and videos they don't have. And probably never will.
- benjaminmoreau 7y agothe UPDATE of radiooooo is here for testing: https://radiooooo.app https://radiooooo.app :)
- norwin 7y agoLooks great! Will there be an API available like the old radiooooo.com/api?
- rasz 7y agodoesnt let you copy artist info, feels like we are back in FLASH applets timeline
- metastart 7y agoAh great, this has controls (pause!) :-).
- batirch 7y agoAmazing really awesome classics :) I would listen those songs for days nonstop. There very few songs from my country though. Going to upload some.
- benjaminmoreau 7y agoUPDATE of the new radiooo for testing here: https://radiooooo.app https://radiooooo.app :))
- flak48 7y agoMaybe the link of this post itself should be updated
- bilekas 7y agoThis is cool. Just super super cool Wow!
- shimulch 7y agoBrilliant. Loved it.
- rkagerer 7y agoThis is great! Love the artistic interface, it's refreshingly distinctive from all the other websites I visit these days. My only issue is the Taxi dialog didn't seem to position correctly in Chrome on my Android, and I couldn't accept or dismiss it. How did the author manage to keep playing music after forwarding me to the iTunes store? iframe or something?
- jmiskovic 7y agoFantastic. Here's another niftly radio app: http://radio.garden/ http://radio.garden/
- paulcarroty 7y agohttps://www.radio-browser.info https://www.radio-browser.info Similar idea, no map, but supports community editing & many sort patterns & ratings. Open Source.
- Hamuko 7y agoHow's the song upload feature in terms of copyright?
- possibleworlds 7y agoNice! I collect tropical, good to see something like this do well. Can I ask about the motivation / team behind it?
- kdeldycke 7y agoIt's a French collective curating rare and exotic nostalgia tunes since 2013 (https://www.newyorker.com/culture/culture-desk/radiooooo-the-hit-tune-time-machine https://www.newyorker.com/culture/culture-desk/radiooooo-the...). It was co-created by a member of the Polo & Pan duo (https://www.discogs.com/artist/4106352 https://www.discogs.com/artist/4106352). An up to date revision of the site is available at: https://radiooooo.app https://radiooooo.app Here's a little helper script to listen Radiooooo from the command line: https://github.com/vikbez/radiooooo-cli https://github.com/vikbez/radiooooo-cli
- _red 7y agoThanks for this...do you know of a way to integrate this into a Sonos service?
- possibleworlds 7y agoNow I remember a friend sending this to me a while back. Thanks for the info and script!
- tony1234 7y agohow nice is it, it is just the Big data and AI should doing!
- megadrive 7y agoThis is really good thanks. Great for discovering sounds from all over the World and time.
- StavrosK 7y agoOne clarification: The dates specify the date of release, right? I went to the site expecting to hear popular songs from that era/region, but I've never heard of any of the songs it plays.
- thatguyagain 7y agoWow! This is one of the most creative, fun website I have seen in years, thank you!
- haffla 7y agoI don't get it. No matter where I click I get: "This area /decade is empty". https://radiooooo.app https://radiooooo.app works though.
- benjaminmoreau 7y agoshift + reload
- drewsberry 7y agohttps://radiooooo.com/ https://radiooooo.com/ doesn't work because it's trying to XHR the http version of the site which gets blocked. The other .app domain works fine though, like you said.
- Yokernutiy 7y agoVeeery good
- mlang23 7y agoThis site is barely accessible with a screen reader. Lots of unlabeled graphical elements, and no obvious way to change the country from T&T.
- xeromal 7y agoThey should just delete the site
- astronautjones 7y agoI've been using this for years. it's a godsend. I love it beyond words.
- benjaminmoreau 7y agoyou should try the new release in test mode here: https://radiooooo.app https://radiooooo.app ;)
- hallihax 7y agoThis is really great!
- Pigo 7y agoI could see they are using three.js for a visual library, but I couldn't tell what they were using for audio. Maybe they are interacting with the web audio api directly, since they are only playing a single piece at a time. I didn't hear in fade in/out or more advanced functionality.
- zarker 7y agoThis is amazing, love it.
- Cyberdog 7y agoIt's interesting to see that the map reshapes as you move through the decades. Germany splits into two and then goes back to one, Africa and the Indian subcontinent get progressively decolonized, etc. It's not perfect, particularly in east Asia (Taiwan is always independent and Korea is always two countries, and neither are ever colonized by Japan), but what's there is fun to see.
- sandyarmstrong 7y agoThis is really fun! Not sure if bug or missing feature, but the decade tabs at the bottom of the screen are unlabeled so I have to click around a bit to find the decade I want. Firefox 74.0b7 on macOS 10.15.3.
- benjaminmoreau 7y agoHello, please try this adress which is the new site and fixes a looot of bugs !! :) here: https://radiooooo.app https://radiooooo.app have a good trip : Ben
- sandyarmstrong 7y agoIt's fixed, thanks!
- tomerds 7y agoThis is an incredible website thank you the creator!
- benjaminmoreau 7y agothanks :)
- companyhen 7y agoI love this! I make sampled-based beats and it seems like a great way to dig for samples.
- 120photo 7y agoThis is dope! Love it, web needs more art.
- xtracto 7y agoIt is inaccurate: For Mexico 1980 it actually showed "La Union" band which is actually Spanish.
- ratcline 7y agoIt may not be if it's songs that were popular in that area during that time rather than songs FROM that place. I'm not sure if they differentiate which it is, I didn't see any at a glance.
- aramjfri 7y agoAlthough the musics on my country was a bit wrong in timing but I really get hooked!
- cvaidya1986 7y agoGreat!! How do you get around the copyright issue and how did you monetize?
- sequoia 7y agoIf you like old time radio (I'm a big fan) check out the radio dramas on http://www.radioechoes.com http://www.radioechoes.com as well. You could try out my scraper as well and see if it still works* https://sequoia.makes.software/projects/#radio-echoes-downloader https://sequoia.makes.software/projects/#radio-echoes-downlo... (I was using it to scrape & bundle mp3s to audio books for a while). * edit: it doesn't :p
- werds 7y agoSimilar online radio station for old (new to you) music discovery: http://vintageobscura.net/ http://vintageobscura.net/
- hammock 7y agoLow key this is awesome. Enjoying pulling up the 60s in US and the UK, or Cuba.
- teh_klev 7y agoNice. I've got serious thing for 60/70's middle eastern/north african jazz and prog, ranging geographically from Ethiopia to Turkey to Afghanistan. Back in 2004 to 2007 I used to have a late night radio show on UK local radio station that broadcast on a Friday night and mingled in many of these gems along with Caravan, Soft Machine, Pere Ubu and so much more. Whoever Victor Kiswell is, sir, you have an amazing library of tunes and I'd love to speak to you. Current tune: African Jumbo by Abbass Mehrpouya (1976, Iran)...bonkers good, would love to own that.
- metastart 7y agoPause or Stop button?
- metastart 7y agoSorry...I just found it at the left side by the taxi. Fantastic idea, UI & song selection...working great :-). Thank you!!
- monsieurmoru 7y agothere: radiooooo.app :)
- benjaminmoreau 7y agoHello, please try this adress which is the new site and fixes a looot of bugs !! :) here: https://radiooooo.app https://radiooooo.app have a good trip : Ben
- owly 7y agoI love the creative design of this site/app! There are so many gems in here. I’m now trying your updated iOS app in TestFlight, kids are using the old version. 1. I recommend changing Fornication Island to Seduction Island and changing the picture from a behind in the water to something else. Kids love this app and it should be kid friendly. 2. The icon for the old version is a better design and more memorable. I suggest changing it back. 3. Making the map look more like a paper map would be a way cooler interface, though could be tough since you’d need one per decade. But it would REALLY make the app unique.
- dewey 7y agoI use this site for years already and I’m always happy to see it’s still around. One of the little indie web gems.
- benjaminmoreau 7y agothe new site for testing here: https://radiooooo.app https://radiooooo.app ;)
- rabidrat 7y agoThis is brilliant! How have I never heard of this before?
- verifex 7y agoIt has a strange bug, where if you visit it with HTTPS, none of the songs load. They could just use letsencrypt.
- ryannevius 7y ago"It's not a bug, it's a feature" of most modern web browsers. A https page that includes content fetched using http is called a "mixed content" page. Radiooooo over https still fetches the songs via http requests, and so many browsers block these requests.
- DyslexicAtheist 7y agothat's a no thanks for me. allowing mixed_content isn't something I can live with.
- p49k 7y agoIt’s for listening to clips of old music, not email or banking. It’s literally replicating data that is otherwise being publicly broadcast through the air unencrypted.
- rkagerer 7y agoBut his ISP might be injecting subliminal messages! (For fun see also https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backmasking https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backmasking)
- DyslexicAtheist 7y agomy ISP doesn't do this currently. reason is actually that I don't see any reason why the app should be using mixed_content to begin with. In the age of letsencrypt you can easily get certificates, so the only reasons I can think of are a) performance overhead due to TLS, b) storage of audio tracks done on 3rd party domains due to cost/limits. a) is a non-issue in 2020 b) not extending trust to 3rd party domains is literally why allowing mixed_content is a terrible idea
