Malted/Media RealTime Chat

Using the Chat Room Site

The idea is to chat and listen to music at the same time. You need a Java-compatible browser to do this, such as a recent version of Netscape or Internet Explorer. We do not have file-posting software, but if you forward a Midi file as an email attachment to the moderator, it can be immediately posted on the listening page.

Note: This Java chat seems to be incompatible with the IChat browser plug-in. You may need to remove or disable the IChat plug-in to proceed past the logon screen. Please report incompatibilities or problems via our Contact Form

At the bottom of the chat window is a small, one-line window. In the small window you type your comments to be sent along to the chat (followed by Enter or Return). There are also commands you can use during chat. You can...

... display date and time: /date <enter>
... join another room: /room Roomname <enter>
... make a statement about yourself: /me Statement <enter>
... change your current nickname: /nick Mynewnickname <enter>
... find the email address of another participant: /who Nickname <enter>

Check the buttons and tabs below for some easier ways of navigating.
