I don't see this move being popular. They are basically demoting the users from both consumers and curators to just consumers of the music. What made turnable.fm awesome was that it was people like yourself deciding on what everyone wanted to listen; if people didn't like the choices, someone else could be selected. Now that control is out of the equation. The artists are selecting what everyone wants to hear, they are choosing based on what they want you to hear. Don't like the music? All you can do about it now is leave the room. Only time will tell if this is what brings turnable.fm into the spotlight, or sink it down into the depths.
- untog 13y agoI actually always thought the tt.fm model was a bit broken in that respect. Only five people got to DJ, and there was next to no rotation. I enjoyed using it in a small room with friends, but in a room of any size there was a very low chance that I would ever influence the playlist. In any case, the simple fact of the matter is that there was no way tt.fm was making money. They have to change.
