Wow - I don't remember a company "pivoting" so much, so often, and so drastically as the Turntable team has done. First it was a social DJ site/app, then they launched Piki but shut it down after less than a year [0], and now this. Kudos to them for not quitting - it takes a lot of resolve (and money) to try to break paradigms and move into new markets.<p>[0] <a href="http://blog.turntable.fm/post/60847013839/soundcloud-and-uploads" rel="nofollow">http://blog.turntable.fm/post/60847013839/soundcloud-and-upl...</a>
I've been expecting something like this to happen. It is expensive for small bands who often can hit only a few venues. But Tunetable should arrange for studios other than NYC. There are plenty of places around the world where bands could play and livestream.
