Hubot Play

Loved it. Though at first I thought it would hook up to rdio api rather than go throughout dumping library onto a central Mac. On another note I like these screen casts, keep em coming.

Pull Requests welcome for Last.fm/Spotify/rdio. :) Doing a centralized server was the easiest way to avoid the whole "I have a rare song on my desktop that I really want to play and now I'm mad I can't play it on the speakers."

I might have just found my weekend project.

If you're gonna do Rdio support anyways, add support so that remote people can listen to whatever's currently playing in the office :)

I wrote a web app a while ago that is the same idea as Play and uses the rdio API.

Built using node.js, sockets and heroku.

Is it open source?

"As you can see here there's also a download link, so if you legally obtained this music and have full rights to this music, you can download a copy straight from the browser to your machine."

Unfortunately, with the current state of online music store terms of services, it is unlikely that this is the case for the majority of music in most people's collections.

I think the only way you could have full rights is if you had just recorded the music yourself. (After writing/composing it yourself)

This will lead to a war, but in the end, this war shall be good.

A war with a 500 watt amp driving it.

On this note, I wish Sonos had an API. You can hack in UPNP commands to it though, so that might work.

If you like the concept but don't like Ruby (like me) then check out Jukebox: https://github.com/lociii/jukebox

I can see this hurting productivity, kinda like turntable.fm. Still totally awesome though!

c.f. also non-work-related internet use in general, bathroom breaks, staring out the window and thinking, and other productivity-killing pursuits on "company time" ;)

Is there another way to control it besides campfire? (like through the web part)

holman 14 years ago | |

You can do most of it through the web (actual pause+play controls will be coming soon).

It's got a really easy API, though, so you can build other clients without too much trouble.

So the whole chatroom gets to listen to this or just you?

Everyone in the same room as you. (Physical room. In meatspace.) Or wherever your speakers are located.
