Completely OT but might as well ask here. Does anyone know of a good replacement for Turntable.fm/Plug.dj? Social music playing/DJing experience with avatars and a chat is basically what I am after. I have a group of friends that I think might enjoy this type of thing but Turntable.fm pivoted years ago and Plug.dj, while being able to link to YouTube seems to require an API key which these non-tech folks won’t be able to figure out. I think the kinds of shared digital experiences is what is helping keep people sane while we are all isolating so I welcome all new attempts at new social platforms.

Turntable is coming back. tt.fm

  Ooh! Any clue when it might launch and what the pricing structure might be?

There used to be AuxParty (a clone) but I think what comes close now is Campfire.gg — watching YouTube/FB/Twitch videos together and/or listening to Soundcloud tracks with friends (which is how I use it)

  AuxParty looks amazing but the fact that it requires a premium Spotify subscription and doesn't seem to work well on mobile is going to be super difficult I think for some of my friends. Campfire doesn't have the avatars but no Spotify requirement is super nice.

There's an app Roadtrip, you need a premium spotify account though.

Funkwhale is a self hosted/federated option that I believe is similar to what you're looking for. Apologizes if not

  Thanks! I will see if I can make this work! At the very least, it's a good option to keep in my back pocket.

I built https://www.JQBX.fm https://www.JQBX.fm for this purpose. Not an exact clone but it’s my take on the “social listening” problem.

  Whoa, cool to see you here. JQBX powered some really fun virtual hangouts with my friends during lockdown. Thanks for building it!

    Absolutely - thanks for using it!

  Very cool. I think one of the main things I miss about Turntable is the avatar experience, but I can see using JQBX for another purpose that I think would work super well.
