Can Turntable.fm Survive Its Popularity?

Crowd Control

As indicated by the screenshot above, people are flooding to Turntable.fm. The service has occasionally put the brakes on new invites, but it seems you can still get in if you’re Facebook friends with someone who uses it.

One problem with these crowds is that in a full room, you can no longer see the needle move when you designate something as Lame or Awesome, giving the impression that one’s vote doesn’t matter. Turntable.fm has already solved a similar issue: It used to take a high percentage of negative votes to skip a song completely, but, as noted by user @Masque, “They weighted the algorithm differently. It now factors in room size nonlinearly.” That means it now only takes 15 or so negative votes in a room of 100 listeners to skip a song, rather than a full 51 percent, which is nice.

Turntable has other scalability issues — like how to fight spam in the chat feed — of which we have admittedly yet to see much — and how to keep its servers running smoothly as hundreds of thousands or millions of new users find out about the service. That’s going to be even harder if it has no money coming in, which leads us to …

Money

Chasen wouldn’t speak about Turntable.fm’s business plan, but it has a few options: It can implement ads; let marketers sponsor branded listening rooms; charge a monthly subscription; and/or charge for points currently earned by DJs for pleasing audiences. Regardless of which way it goes, some people are going to be upset about it, because we like to get free stuff — why wouldn’t we? — and can be annoyed when ads show up where they didn’t used to appear — especially more lucrative audio or video ads.

Missing Features

As it juggles all this other stuff, Turntable.fm is going to have to add new features to stay ahead of copycats.

Chiefly, we would like to see integration with AirPlay or Sonos , somehow. It’s good to listen to Turntable.fm on a computer — but it would be great to be able to listen to it wirelessly over a stereo without resorting to some sort of hack or wire. Of course, the inevitable iPhone app version of Turntable.fm will probably include AirPlay, but developing that would require even more work.

(Also, Turntable.fm’s music search function is still overly broad. It needs separate search options for artist and song, to make music with a common name easier to find.

Wild Monica Stickers & Mp3 Songs at Totally Free Stuff


Wild Monica started in a dorm room at Villanova in 2007 with a pair of bongos and an acoustic guitar. Kevin and Ryan started as an acoustic duo and quickly began playing shows in the Philadelphia Area. At that time the band was called 5point. The band has grown and expanded to include a total of 6 members, and with the addition of these members underwent a name change to Wild Monica. The uniqueness of their music stems from the unique combination of instrumentation in the band, including both a traditional drum set as well as different hand percussion. During a normal set the band members are constantly moving around stage from one instrument to another, guitarists swapping a bass guitar, and everyone taking a turn on some sort of percussion.

Wild Monica performs in many different forms depending on the Venue and show. It ranges from the original Acoustic Duo to the full 6 piece band, and everything else in-between. The band's top priority is playing as much as possible, so when the full band isn't available or appropriate for the show they adapt to fit the bill.

Wild Monica is:
Kevin Tymon - Guitar/Vocals
Ryan Mahoney - Percussion/Vocals
Kyle Voigt - Guitar/Bass
Ryan Paggi - Keyboard
Andrew Pettersen - Guitar/Bass
Brad Restelli - Drums
