Radiooooo

I awoke this morning with terror in my heart. I am a giant fan of what Radioooo offers to me and my species in general, even though I don't use it as often as I'd like to (no reason beyond human unreason). I think I am bouyed by the sense that they are there and at any moment I can bring up the app and ... be alive. The terror was this: What if the Radioooo people can't keep going? What if (gulp/sob) it all ENDS suddenly??!!? It was like a more intense 'What-if-Google-somehow-buys-out-Mozilla' feeling. A coooold feeling, as clinically anesthetizing as the lumens emitted by the fixtures that illuminate the aisles of Walmart. I shivered, I shook. I'd have cried, but what the hell good would that do?? I opened the app and as a random nation poured its past into my ears, I read the News: Radioooo is starting something new, and really cool. And tangible! I don't care what it is. I don't care what they do, as long as they keep going. I'm going to give them money, since I can't think of anything more useful to give.

If the developer is out there anywhere, I would love to see this app finished, complete with working user registrations and uploads, social networking integrated, etc. I absolutely love the concept, and have found it fascinating and intriguing to discover all these different styles from the past from around the world. It seems that the domain associated with the company is gone, there’s no trace of any work being done still. If you’re out there, I don’t know if you ran into greedy licensing thugs, or just could not sustain development... but this app has so much potential, please pass it on to a developer who will continue this great service!

I am absolutely obsessed with this app and can’t get enough of it! However, I noticed a couple of glitches that make it a little annoying to use. I found that every time I open the app I have to sign in again, I also can’t replay songs that I have saved. It also would be nice to have some sort of skipping ability as I found that occasionally songs would repeat multiple times. Other than that it is such a creative and fun concept, I’ve spent hours listening!

None of that music is listened from those countries. I am originally from latin america and found music that was hipster electronic, something no one has ever heard of. I tried to upload populaire, traditional music and everything was rejected for no reason. This application is selling fake information of each culture. I have visited russia, ukraine, turkey, bulgaria, spain, lebanon and i know none of those songs are heard or known by my friends living there!! What a fake! Let people upload the music ACTUALLY listened in each country. Not hipster stuff! Because is hip or unknown, i want people around the world to learn about my culture as much as i want to learn about others. I uploaded around 25 songs all rejected for not being hipster enough I guess. Do not take this music seriously! You will not be cultured into learning from different countries. I am upset to have such music be represented as latin america!!

The interface could use improvement, as could the accuracy of song information. That being said, it's pretty incredible to be able to discover pop music from Mongolia or Madagascar in the 60's with the click of a button. Also, they should segregate larger or musically diverse countries like the US into different regions (the app doesn't allow you to choose, say, Hawaiian music or Cajun music).
