I'd like to know more information about how people were able to download the streamed music, and what they did to stop it.
Also, it would be nice if I could automatically scrobble the songs played to Last.fm.

#12Earlier quoted context omitted.
That kind of vision doesn't exist in the music industry. They shut down Muxtape. They'll shut down this.
And yet they have allowed 8track to exist. The founders are hoping they can exist under the protections of DMCA streaming radio.
The question is whether Turntable will have to make so many compromises with the labels that the site loses its appeal. You can't skip through something like more than two songs in a row in 8tracks. You could see how those kinds of restrictions could potentially ruin the fun of Turntable.

#14This might be off-topic, but the guys who created turntable.fm, they are also the co-founders of Stickybits.
So what's going on ? Are they running both companies or ?

Awesome! Thank you.
I only wish his site wasn't a migrane generator.

"When Stickybits didn’t take off the way they hoped, Seth Goldstein and Billy Chasen pitched existing investors ($1.9mm raised) this idea and ran with it."

#18Turntable.fm is a lot of fun. I've been using it with offsite coworkers to create a sort of shared music space. Unfortunately, it seems like only a matter of time before it gets shut down by the RIAA or riddled with enough advertising to make it sickening.
they source their music through medianet, who presumably have deals with all the labels: http://www.mndigital.com/

#20I was pretty excited when this first came out. I listened to it all night. But, eventually I felt there was something still uncomfortable about the whole experience. Some people said it was their new Pandora. I can't say I feel the same.
I get a little frustrated when I can't find a room playing stuff I want to hear. And then I get even more frustrated when I give stuff a thumbs-down but still have to listen to it and hope the next DJ doesn't suck. I feel like I've been too spoiled by personalized music services. Personally, the chat room isn't really a valuable feature.
