Users of Turntable.fm, the social media website that allows users to interactively share music, will be happy to know that a native app for Android has just been launched. In case you are new to it, Billy Chasen started Turntable.fm last year. It’s basically a service with rooms that are created by up to 5 DJs. DJs have the power to choose which music is played, and the songs can be either liked or lamed by listeners. If a song, for example, reaches a certain amount of lames, that song is skipped. The rooms within the app can be sorted according to categories: Popular, Needs DJs, or Favorites.
You can also join rooms and listen to music or to DJs while you vote on your favorites from the app as well. Stations are created from different genres of music and in case you can’t find one that you like, you can always create your own. Turntable.fm also has a chat feature, although a few users say it causes the app to crash. But similar to other apps, the developers behind Turntable.fm should be able to fix the minor glitch once its latest software update arrives. It’s important to note that Turntable.fm is only available in the U.S., at least for now. You can download the app via Google Play.
