My Get Rich Quick Scheme?

[jakeintox]

Yep VDJ does this in partnership with Grooveshark. $10 a month. Quality is a little rough sometimes but it works pretty damn good. Saved my a$$ a few times at mobile gigs.

I think there is some work going on in this area. Google “dj song request app” Even Itunes has a remote app for requests, but thats on a private network.

Ideally:

• Users could give real time ratings of a current set or track
• Users could make requests
• Users get past and future playlist
• Users could get links to songs (like Shazam/Soundcloud, but exact track is pushed)

*DJ gets user feedback
*DJ gets ptr to requested track (download link if not present in collection)
*various knobs/controls/settings for the above..
*some cross promotional marketing? ads?

What am I missing? My friends and I have been discussing doing this, but my hands are full with one successful startup at the moment..

I’ve had similar ideas and actually started on the project but finding time to develop it is difficult what with work, practice, production and social stuff

There’s also this: http://djtxt.me/ which seems interesting, powered by Grooveshark.

All of my computer audio is routed through my mixer now.

Just route your computer audio to your mixer. Buy a 1/8 to RCA cable. Hit play on the YouTube video.

You can also install a firefox plugin called “download helper” It will download any youtube video in secs and put it in a MP3 format automatically.

Virtual DJ has that netsearch thing.

You definitely don’t have a get rich scheme. You just haven’t thought it through.

Go to iTunes pay .99 cents and play the song?

I mean if you are going to use youtube, its crappy quality and shady ---- might as well just download it from zippyshare and play the track.

Why don’t you bring a RCA to 3,5 mm cable ? If the guy has a nice 320 on his ipod you could mix it.
Buuuuut… I highly doubt that anything like this would catch on. The DJ has the final say when it comes down to track selection and I feel it should stay that way, but then again the DJ must know his crowd and anticipate their music preference.

Why not just quickly go to beatport etc and download the track you want while you wait. Then play the mp3 like normal? (assuming they have wifi at this party)

Kind of what I was thinking.

Virtual DJ Pro has this exact feature

If you buy the full version of VDJ, it allows you to utilise thier full music collection for streaming. If you have youtube, then you have wifi, and therefore,you can stream from THEIR extensive online library (trust me, they’ve got what you need). Plus, The way Virtual DJ is set up, it loads the track in advance from WIFI, so there’s no streaming difficulties. People rule out VDJ alot, but because of this feature (an unlimited and extensive library), VDJ reeeeaaaalllllllyyyyy justifies the obo $350 pricetag on the program.

P.S. not a VDJ salesman or anything, I just use it, and am scoffed off alot because of it’s low end reputation.
