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

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

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

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

Cosmic Slop, Friday, 18 September 2015 01:03 (eight years ago) link

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.

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

Thank you to everyone who has been supporting us through our crowdfunding campaign by donating, subscribing or buying epic content. We’re blown away by your support, and it truly shows how valuable plug.dj is in your daily lives.

With that said, we’ve still got a ways to go by September 28th to keep plug.dj up and running. In order to push us closer to our crucial goal, we’re introducing a $1 monthly subscription plan which will grant all of the perks a plug.dj account has to offer.
$1/month Silver subscription:

Unlimited playlists
Import playlists and favorites from YouTube and SoundCloud
Host up to 10 communities
Fund the development of new plug.dj features, including mobile!
Most importantly, help keep plug.dj up and running

$2.99/month Gold subscription (previous subscription):

All of the perks that come with a Silver subscription
Unlimited access to ALL current and future Subscriber Avatars and Badges
An exclusive subscriber chat icon and name color
No level restrictions on any Avatar
Send Plug Points as gifts
Post images in chat
No advertisements in chat

For users that cannot subscribe or donate, you can still use the site as a guest or with a restricted account.

Non-subscriber accounts can still DJ and use the site normally, but can only access 1 playlist and be the host of 1 community. Once Silver subscriptions are turned on today, whatever your current active playlist is, that will be your 1 playlist. You will be able to access the rest of your playlists once you become a Silver or Gold subscriber. Your old playlists will not be deleted should you decide to subscribe at a later date. (Note: Existing users that have more than 1 community will remain Hosts of their communities; only new users will be limited to host 1 community as a non-subscriber.)

For donators, both new and old, every dollar donated grants you one month of plug.dj Silver time to your account (e.g. if you donate $12 you’ll have 12 months of Silver subscription status added to your account).

We know this is a big change for everyone, but the alternative is that plug.dj will shut down, which nobody wants.

It’s super important we reach our funding goal so that we can continue to run plug.dj and build new features we’ve been dying to work on. Our goal is to get as close to 30% as we can by September 28th. Please help keep our community going by donating and getting a Silver or Gold subscription today!
