Um, so yeah - the question is basically this: how many people would be interested in DJing?

For those interested I'm looking at hosting and licensing so it'd all be legal. I hate the RIAA as much as the next guy but I wouldn't want to get the site into legal trouble. I'm looking at hosting for ten concurrent listners at (probably) 64kbps.

The costs would require me to occasionally send round the begging bowl (much like I do for the mix swaps) or setting up some kind of tip jar - although I don't envision forcing DJs or listeners to pay but merely ask that people pay whatever they can whenever they can.

Of course if anyone has any experience in this area then I'd like to hear about it.

I am totally interested if you pull this together. I'm always playing records anyway, somebody else might as well be able to listen. And if it takes a few dollars from the community I'll chip in for cause, just like I did for the mix swaps.

I already try to relive my college dj days through an obsessive mix disc making addiction, and this would be a little closer.

Well, I'd DJ. It seems like a waste of money to make it legit assuming that it wouldn't have a formal relationship with MeCha.

I actually was a commercial jock twenty years ago and I get a kick out of doing this sort of thing.

you really have to ask?

well, i thought it polite to

Is there a way that mac using dj wannabes could participate?

I'd be interested in that kind of thing.

In an only-tangentially-related question, is there already a MeCha audioscrobbler/last.fm group?

Is there a way that mac using dj wannabes could participate?

I was worried someone might ask that. There appears to be a Mac DSP here but I have no idea how it works. If you try it out maybe you could report back?

Since I just spent the night with Virtual DJ, I'd have to say yeah, I'm interested!

I'd do it but I'm not sure the necessary plugins exist for bmp.

I've actually been a radio DJ. I'm thinking about going back. The good news is that the station I'd go back to has streaming playback over the internet so you could check me out during my shift.

Until then, sure I'd be interested in DJing for MeFi. Let me just finish ripping the other 200 CDs in my collection and get started somehow transferring my tens (hundreds?) of LPs to mp3.

Some ignorant questions--would we have to listen live or could we download the streams for later playback? Would a collaborative music blog be better or worse?

poptabulous mate. Not Half!
Pulls lever.
Rock-a-doodle-do.

I would love this. Definitely.

i would just like to take credit for starting this whole bizniss. since i did.

i'd do it
