I'm reposting this so it has it's own thread (and so everyone reads this)...Yes, I not only know how to do this, but I have a running radio station right now that I help run. It runs 24/7. However the selection of music on it isn't the greatest IMHO.
anyway..on with my post.."Seems as though most of everyone here has internet access...Would everyone(looking for collective response here..) be interested in a poi-radio segment...basically live-streaming audio(our own internet radio station)...it would work similar to public radio. Everyone submits songs(mp3) or names of songs(I can use Napster...wow), and I can place them all in a playlist to be played for all of us to enjoy all day long. =) It could be a compilation of everyones favorite musics. Any thoughts??"------------------ [PLUR]-=Crazy Raver Dude=-

That sounds really cool! I'm sure most people who poi love music. I for one would love to hear all the songs other poi heads swing too. Great Idea and good luck ------------------"London is a city coming down from its trip and there's going to be a lot of refugees" - Danny,Withnail & I

Have been on the recieving end of of Nullsoft's "Shoutcast" with Winamp before, and it was great fun. Works great, and is relativly easy to use.Unfortunatly, there are two hitches that spring to mind:Napster isn't terribly good anymore, due to the legal debacle. However, people can still send songs in, and there are other software system (Gnutella?).Secondly, for dial-up modem users, the audio quality needs to be pretty low for it to stream decently. Don't know how trance sounds at 22Kbps, but... imagination isn't being kind to it. Or if a large majority has broadband connection, some sacrifices could be made? Isn't very nice though. =/

I have tested my broadcast from a 56K connection and it sounded just a little more "hoppy" than my broadband. I, as well, am using Shoutcast, with Winamp. (Easiest solution.) As for Napster..there may be LESS files on there..but I haven't had any trouble using it recently. (Used it two days ago..) I could also create a website that allowed people to upload songs directly to my server, this way there is no emailing or anything. All done over the web. :P------------------ [PLUR]-=Crazy Raver Dude=-

redbrother..Well, actually...*grin*..the way the laws are "currently" stated. I'm actually only letting you listen to music that I have. As long as *I* own a copy of the CD(or someone) then essentially, I am letting you listen to what I am listening to locally on my machine. (Just as if you were at my house listening to it..) Your not making a request for music...it's a live feed of what is currently being listened to. It's basically a way around being able to broadcast music. But technically you are correct...to play a song over the FM radio, you either need the author's consent, or you need to pay them royalties.------------------ [PLUR]-=Crazy Raver Dude=-

Yeah, go for it. I won't be able to tune in too often - they've moved the head of division into my shoe-box and although he's very nice, I'm not sure he'd be into listening to some funkin' grooves
- but then you never know - he is Danish (hehe).Oh yeah, and definitely agree with redbrother - some means of seeing what's playing is a massive must.Huge storm kicking off here now - the one we had last night was ABSOLUTELY HUGE and the lightning was so bright that you couldn't look at it. Might try and get out quick and go boogy in the rain....Noods
