It strikes me how bizarre this is. To a SXSW audience, Turntable is already past its prime, even though during last year's conference, the product didn't yet exist.
At least they understand the issue that Turntable was too much work if you want to participate and tricky to find a room for listening.
- fumar 14y ago"Too much work," is correct. I used turntable for about a month. It was fun. Then it became tedious. After reading this article, I logged on. It has changed. I suppose the users are less diverse now. It is hard to quantify. When it first started the rooms were very diverse. Today(or right now), it looks like dubstep is the main genre of music. The music snobs have left.
- draggnar 14y agoI remember at first there were these Japanese rooms with awesome J-Pop. It was amazing, there was such an amazing energy around turntable - then users outside the US were blocked because of licensing.
- dandelany 14y agoI, too, lament the loss of our international users. We're working hard to allow access from outside the US, but it's a slow process. That said, there is still an active J-pop room on TT, although it's not as popular as it once was: http://turntable.fm/jpop_jgame_anime_ http://turntable.fm/jpop_jgame_anime_
