Mac or Windows? If you are willing to try again once I will have replicated (with Rekordbox) and solved your use case, please drop us your email using the FEEDBACK form on the left side of the page. Thank you for trying and for taking the time of letting us know.

Windows. Was the issue specific to Rekordbox, if so how?

No I agree, I doubt it is a Rekordbox specific issue. If that outputs the audio as system audio, it should be doable. Thing is we developed testing mostly in Mac, so we need to pull up a Windows and actually try to replicate for longer.

what browser / device are you using? this is not something I encountered when trying with a few different ones :/

Might be the same issue for me, Firefox 137.0 on Linux. When I click on a room, the URL changes, indicating I might have joined the room, but I don't get any audio. No audio icon on the tab. Can't hear anything. Console says "WebRTC: ICE failed, add a TURN server and see about:webrtc for more details" I don't have WebRTC specifically disabled that I recall, I thought I've taken video calls in this Firefox before. Hop…

Thank you so much for reporting these, we'll fix shortly

Ah got it. I'll try again tomorrow, it's possible I was just being stupid.

I clicked everything on the page but couldn't figure out how to join a room. Clicking a room card no worky. I can however view song history

In the late 2000s I hosted an Icecast server for our IRC channel and we had regular "radio" shows presented by channel members. It was great fun. Sometimes people who were in close proximity in real life would turn up as "guests" on other people's shows. We did a thing where people in the channel could pick songs for the show etc.

I know, I know, it's classic to look back wistfully, but I really feel like something was lost in the past 15 years or so. We just cobbled together this stuff from simple components and had fun. I didn't require a PhD to get your head around it, I feel like people were more clever because you kinda needed to be. Nowadays if something isn't part of the shiny web app you're just shit out of luck. Back then we'd just do another hack and it was all good.

Not able to join any room on Chrome and Windows Also seems to require a password to host a room (can't just leave it open?)

Thank you for the report, we'll look into that.

Re. password... we landed on requiring a password to create the room to let you retain the "HOST" status. E.g., if you disconnect and go back ... need password to authenticate as HOST so that you won't lose your room to the first stranger that finds it empty

But all rooms are open. Password is just a "Recovery password". I will update now the description text to this

This was super cool to read about!

The way I think about, Pulse is an attempt to part ways from the traditional "Algos" and other machine based recommendation systems (which is what I think of as the real "shiny web")... and get back to listening to real people and just vibing with them while each one does their own thing.
