When I request songs, it shows up at the top section and then grays out. And it looks like there is no way to add the song to the queue. Is there a reason for this? Otherwise, this is something I always wanted every since we lost turntable.fm :(. I never got into plug.dj.
I, too, loved turntable.fm and wanted something similar. When you request a track (add it to your list), you upvote the track; if votes >= median, it gets queued in the master playlist (thumbnail appears in the header), or else it appears gray on your list.
How accessible is this for people with a CS background? Is this targeted specifically for beginners? I don't have a lot of background with iOS but have a CS background. Would prefer to go more into the nitty gritty rather than just talking about variables :)
We always learn CS fundamental in the context of building real apps, so you'll always be in the nitty gritty of the SDK. You just won't struggle with the fundamental concepts.
