ComputerForums Radio?

[J03]

Hey everyone,

I dont know whether or not this has been discussed before, but how about a CF Radio station? I have just got some ShoutCast Hosting, and i would like to allow certain CF Members to broadcast, and everyone to listen. The server i have got is a 25 Slot - If we get more listeners than that, i will be very happy, and will upgrade the server. What you you think of this idea, and would anyone like to become a broadcaster?

Also - With this new server, i dont know what the stream quality is like. Can some of you try to connect to http://72.29.69.23:8074/listen.pls - It would be greatly appreciated

Sounds like an interesting idea, what sort of things would you broadcast? I guess music would be out due to copyright.

 

[J03]

We could broadcast many things. There are quite a lot of great bands/artists, such as http://www.generalfuzz.net/. If you think that the idea of a shoutcast stream is a good one, and we decide to go ahead, we can think of the various things to broadcast later.

edit:

I'm having a bit of a problem with wireless internet - but it should be OK now

I am all up for it. My rig is almost always on.

Question about semantics tho, could we broadcast stuff from our own music library, like music that bands wrote?

 

[J03]

Well, strictly, we cannot legally broadcast copyrighted music without getting a Loudcity license, which would cost $35 a month - and that's $35 a month that i cant afford

What about our podcast?

How would a radio be on here?
David might link to it?

It should be easy to see unlike the chat room i liked, it was hard to remeber it was there, only a thread that's now dropped way down.

Should be near the logo and ad up the top but thats just my input

What about our podcast?

Word.

Brillant idea.

 

[Thelis]

Haha we had one but the members sort of all fell apart. I still have all the recording stuff set up so if anyone wanna record just shoot me a PM. Search for the thread if you want.
