plug.DJ/ILXORS – it's like Outloud but not defunct and like turntable.FM but internationally accessible and with more bears

since it seems plug.dj is going down the tubes we could use http://www.juqster.com/hub.html?id=ilxors#/

there's no bear avatars though or levels or points collecting.

im in here for an hour or so tho just to try it out. its still youtube/soundcloud but you dont need to make playlists you just add songs to the main playlist

Cosmic Slop, Thursday, 17 September 2015 23:12 (eight years ago) link

It still looks a bit cartoony, like!

Turrican, Thursday, 17 September 2015 23:16 (eight years ago) link

Cosmic Slop, Thursday, 17 September 2015 23:16 (eight years ago) link

Cosmic Slop, Thursday, 17 September 2015 23:17 (eight years ago) link

Cosmic Slop, Thursday, 17 September 2015 23:18 (eight years ago) link

no idea if its better than plug or worse. Just trying it for the first time

Cosmic Slop, Thursday, 17 September 2015 23:19 (eight years ago) link

soref is in

Cosmic Slop, Thursday, 17 September 2015 23:20 (eight years ago) link

only thing i dont like about it is the utterly stupid name but it seems functional.

Cosmic Slop, Thursday, 17 September 2015 23:22 (eight years ago) link

you know how everyone hated plug at first as it wasnt as good as outloud? now those people will say this isnt a good as plug :)

Cosmic Slop, Thursday, 17 September 2015 23:25 (eight years ago) link

it is ugly but seems to work in a pretty straightforward manner, more so than plug

soref, Thursday, 17 September 2015 23:29 (eight years ago) link

there was a thing on the plug site the other day saying that if everyone who had used the service in past month donated $6 they would be in the black again, so yes, it seems like they are doomed

soref, Thursday, 17 September 2015 23:30 (eight years ago) link

from what people have told me - soundcloud seems to work better here than in plug. I've never actually used soundcloud in plug though

Cosmic Slop, Thursday, 17 September 2015 23:31 (eight years ago) link

I'll have a proper look at this another time, briefly looking at it now though I think I prefer the simplicity of this compared to plug!

Turrican, Thursday, 17 September 2015 23:32 (eight years ago) link

there's something happening on reddit tomorrow with the plug founders so it seems they need money fast

Cosmic Slop, Thursday, 17 September 2015 23:32 (eight years ago) link

only thing i dont like about it is the utterly stupid name but it seems functional.

Why the name Juqster?
Well... it has a story
jukebox + hipster = juqster
Juqster, a new type of person that enjoys sharing music with the world.

soref, Thursday, 17 September 2015 23:32 (eight years ago) link

i know people hate change and everyone who hated plug will prefer it but at least there is an alternative if/when plug goes

Cosmic Slop, Thursday, 17 September 2015 23:33 (eight years ago) link

yeah the site is functional i meant

Cosmic Slop, Thursday, 17 September 2015 23:33 (eight years ago) link

i like the larger video screen though. Much better for watching videos and still able to chat

Cosmic Slop, Thursday, 17 September 2015 23:34 (eight years ago) link

I like that the chatbox is much larger too, that's one problem I always had with plug... the chatbox was really small and half the screen was devoted to dancing avatars!

Turrican, Thursday, 17 September 2015 23:38 (eight years ago) link

a lack of lagging so far in its favour but i miss wooting and dancing

Cosmic Slop, Thursday, 17 September 2015 23:41 (eight years ago) link

you can still heart songs and it gets added to a list of favourites

Cosmic Slop, Thursday, 17 September 2015 23:41 (eight years ago) link

I miss the dancing bears tbh - maybe a mod can install a gif of dancing bears at the top of this thread so we can look at it while playing songs in juqster

soref, Thursday, 17 September 2015 23:42 (eight years ago) link

YOU CAN USE ANIMATED GIFS FOR YOUR AVATAR! I'm sold!

Cosmic Slop, Thursday, 17 September 2015 23:50 (eight years ago) link

Cosmic Slop, Thursday, 17 September 2015 23:51 (eight years ago) link

Cosmic Slop, Thursday, 17 September 2015 23:51 (eight years ago) link

Cosmic Slop, Thursday, 17 September 2015 23:52 (eight years ago) link

you can import playlists too it seems

Cosmic Slop, Friday, 18 September 2015 00:16 (eight years ago) link

yup from youtube

Cosmic Slop, Friday, 18 September 2015 00:17 (eight years ago) link

a lot less lagging than plug

tayto fan (Michael B), Friday, 18 September 2015 00:18 (eight years ago) link

theres an option to make room private so only those with the url can get in

Cosmic Slop, Friday, 18 September 2015 00:35 (eight years ago) link

which is what outloud had

Cosmic Slop, Friday, 18 September 2015 00:35 (eight years ago) link

i think on plug you had to choose whether to search plug or youtube, right? this site searches both

Cosmic Slop, Friday, 18 September 2015 00:59 (eight years ago) link

so ive just found out non-subscribers on plug GET ADVERTS

we are currently trying out ads to see if this is viable solution. If you are running ad-blocking software and want to help out plug, you should consider white-listing the plug.dj domain to allow ads to show up. It's up to you.

Cosmic Slop, Friday, 18 September 2015 01:07 (eight years ago) link

going to have to gather all the good stuff i had stored away on plug play lists, this will take ages -_-

ogmor, Friday, 18 September 2015 07:51 (eight years ago) link

Can't edit track titles on Juqster :(

On the other hand, I don't miss dumb dancing creatures at all.

soref, Friday, 18 September 2015 09:28 (eight years ago) link

i was convinced he would prefer plug

Cosmic Slop, Friday, 18 September 2015 19:40 (eight years ago) link

Ha! plug wants your money so badly that they're making you contact support to cancel your subscription instead of just clicking in a button in your settings like you could previously.

Johnny Fever, Friday, 18 September 2015 19:48 (eight years ago) link
