I'd be totally rapped if you could help me get some more people to come experience wicked beats with me at my new turntable.fm-like site: Vye VJ -- (http://vyemusic.com/vj/#/Astral-Hellcat/ http://vyemusic.com/vj/#/Astral-Hellcat/) -- or even if you just check it out yourself :) Any feedback you have on the idea/design/execution would be incredibly helpful and greatly appreciated also.

Is there a way to add or contribute music to the current music list? I like this site, but if I'm going to be a VJ then I want to be able to upload some of my own beats/songs to mix in the room.

  If your music is on YouTube you should be able to get at it. You have to type the track and artist name manually with a dash separator, as in: "TITLE - ARTIST" Can't wait to hear your stuff!

could you add a search to add in music videos from youtube/vevo?
- CharlieA 15y ago
  For sure if you think it'd be useful, but if the songs you're selecting aren't coming up right (or aren't in the search suggestions) you CAN type a more precise query (dash [-] separated) in the form, and then submit it by pressing ENTER "TRACK NAME - ARTIST NAME" Hope that helps? If not, just let me know and I'll definitely look at direct YouTube link submissions.

Overall, Good Job! I have some gripes, but on the whole, it seems solid. Here are some of my issues: - Some of the user experience things surprised me. For example, the chat feature isn't obvious. I didn't know it was there, what it was for, where my text went (because it didn't show at the bottom for some time). These shouldn't be questions the user is asking. - Consider a brief interface tutorial. Something like javascript pop-ups that user can close sequentially when describes specific parts of the screen. - There should be a way to kill a song, remove songs from your own queue if it's not playing. - The heart the bottom is a meter, but that's not obvious at first. And the "YES" and "NO" is not clear how that affects the room's state. Does it down vote a song? Does it stop their next song from playing? Will it stop the song eventually? I think you're on the right track! :) And awesome that you pulled this off in 48 hours.

  Thanks very much, I'll put those things right and have another crack at seeding it with users in a little bit. Appreciate the advice, and really cool of you to help people out like this -- if I can ever return a favor just ask ^^

    Want to help me build a web scrapper (preferably in python)?
    - CharlieA 15y ago
      Absolutely -- I've never worked with Python before, though I'm not opposed to learning; but how much help I could provide as a complete novice is another question. I'm fairly proficient with front-end / design, though if there's anything on that side I can help with?
