Diamond Member Pelican Press 0 Posted November 13 Diamond Member Share Posted November 13 This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up Turntable Labs just launched a new social music platform called Hangout Everything old is new again. Turntable Labs , a social music platform that’s eerily similar to that , Turntable.fm. The app is available as a web client or via an app for Android and iOS. It allows users to play virtual DJ, with over 100 million songs to choose from. It not only functions like the old-school Turntable.fm. It even looks the same. There’s a stage, record players and cartoon avatars that sort of look like characters from South Park. I started and am pleasantly surprised at the sheer number of songs here that I actually like. Turntable Labs This is because those 100 million songs have been secured through partnerships with Sony Music Entertainment, Universal Music Group and Warner Music Group. The catalog also pulls from Merlin, which represents a vast array of indie labels and rights holders. The company likens the experience to “gathering around a jukebox or listening to albums with friends.” It seems that way to me, as someone I don’t know just jumped in my room and started playing their own stuff. To that end, folks take turns playing DJ. There looks to be room for five people at the same time to play a game of round robin with their favorite songs. The robust catalog is one major difference from Turntable.fm. The platform didn’t have agreements in place with labels, instead relying on the Digital Millennium Copyright Act and a partnership with ASCAP. This forced a number of rules on users as to how many people could be in a room at once and how many songs could be played each hour. It looks like those rules are now dunzo. Turntable.fm originally went dark all the way back in 2013, before showing . This could be a fun retro throwback to an age when we actually got our music recommendations from people, and not algorithms.
