I built and host an open source project that sounds very similar, but instead uses Spotify Connect to play via any spotify device:

I have seen a bunch of these lately as I was researching another alternative to Turtable.fm. Turns out more than half my friends don’t have Spotify so I can’t use it with them. The genius of the old TT was that it (a) had very cute avatars and UX in general and (b) it didn’t require you to pay for a separate service. I wouldn’t mind paying myself that allowed me a certain sized “room” but the moment everyone else must sign up for an external service, let alone a paid one, it becomes a non-starter.

That’s the problem, isn’t it. The 2011 Turntable was free, but couldn’t monetize it, so it shut down. Commercial music needs to be paid for somehow.
