So then the answer to "Who killed TurnTable.fm?" is: Skrillex.
Skrillex is more like a ghost that hangs around keeping the corpse shambling.

That said, serving well a pop music base is probably what drove away the cultured, eclectic sound seekers. There ain't much for nuance in the top channel listings.

That that said, the long tail still sometimes has some amazing yet small rooms, for those who don't mind the exploratory deep diving.

This is actually the first I've heard of turntable.fm (admittedly I live under a rock sometimes). All of these comments made me want to check it out until I got to this one. Literally none of these stations appeal to me based on their titles. I'll still probably check it out when I get home to see if there are any active rooms or djs with a similar taste to me.

How easy/difficult is it to find rooms/djs who might fit your taste? Every internet radio service I've ever used got very stale from replay within a month or two of heavy use.
