Can Turntable.fm Survive Its Popularity?

The site is a lot of fun, but I suspect there is a major novelty effect in play here. Once the excitement of being a DJ wanes, many individuals will prefer sites that grant them more granular control of their playlist, especially once copyright restrictions and intrusive advertising comes into play. The turntable guys are definitely on to something great here, but how long can it last?

I have been using this service for the last two days along with a number of other coworkers at the game studio I work at. We all find it to be a wonderful service. I can't help but notice how turntable is succeeding so well in the "social music" realm (at least initially) while myspace has failed going after what would seem to be a similar demographic. It is obviously to early to tell what the outcome will be for turntable, but if I were calling the shots at myspace, I would take heed.

Weird I thought they had killed USA access the other day but I just tried it and got in.<p>Anyway, there's no way this service will survive, it's too fun and useful for the RIAA

Turntable is like Pandora with the music taste of a human. I get new music that is not only good, but unique and varied. People love sharing music with others, and Turntable lets them do that in full glory. I love it, and it has replaced Pandora for me. Go to turntable, receive a good song, put it in my Mog.com queue for infinite listening, repeat.

I used the service for about a week before being booted... in the US. Suddenly, I don't have a Facebook friend on the "inside" or something...<p>It's really fun but not working 99% of the time. Right idea, poor implementation. Guess the "social listening" sector is still wide open.

Turntable.fm is definitely interesting, but I know enough people, including myself, for whom music is intensely personal. I can see this being great in certain situations (parties, late night college study sessions), but I like listening to music alone.
