Watch out though, looks like they're bumping lots of Black eyed Peas ; ) Yeah, I’m not afraid of losing any gigs to it, though as you know, I don’t welcome yet another thing to distract peeps from the present and draw them into phone world….[end bitter ranting now]

It actually sounds like a pretty fun idea to me. Yeah, this seems like a more likely replacement for a jukebox than a DJ. It actually sounds like a pretty fun idea to me.

We'll have to buy you a beer when we make it to Portland. Best, Garrett I can’t promise we’ll change the tagline (although it is under consideration) but I can promise we’ll do the best job we can do support the DJs and all the other artists.

Thanks for the thoughtful reply. Yeah, I've seen some of the unhappiness. I'm not worried about losing gigs to Roqbot (as I think many are) but the tagline does, in at least one interpretation, belittle the work that DJs do. I think the current glut of inexpensive apps and equipment that promise DJing on iPhones and iPads (and the novelty that promotes that kind of behavior) has put us in a position where we have to defend our turf against free-jays. Is that a bad thing, I don't think so. If I can't out spin a guy whose investment in DJing is 1.99 and 2 hours, then I'm the one with the problem. But any tagline that promises that "You can be the [insert profession]" is going to rile up that profession, regardless of the intent. Thanks! Abe Hi Garett.

Unfortunately, our tagline has been taken a bit too literally. It seems that a number of people in the DJ community are unhappy. We have to intention of trying to replace the DJ. The tagline was really about giving users the power to influence the music in public spaces. DJs are providing a curated experience and a true performance. The San Francisco venue we're set up in frequently has DJs and I don't think the idea of letting people influence the recorded music is in conflict with have great live music on other nights. The vast majority of the businesses we've worked with so far have no live music at all. Our goal is to support all the content creators in the music industry. The term jukebox has been hijacked by personal music services like Pandora that have no relation to the jukebox at all. We wanted to evoke the idea of letting people influence the music but we're open to suggestions for new taglines. Best, Garrett Co-Founder Great post Abraham.
