With my birthday fast approaching, I decided to give myself a gift: my own internet radio station. I know, I know; I could have gone outside and looked at a tree, but rather than sell 'Score Productions' cassettes on online auction sites, I thought I'd try my hand at being a program director.

Enjoy!

It was tried for 1 week during the show's run, then they promptly went back to the instrumental close most are familiar with...gee, I wonder why... :-)

Not feeling too generous tonight, but I can at least share a link:

Oh, and no small P.S.: Thanks, Josh. I was very pleasantly surprised my many of the pieces in the mix. A virtual tip of my virtual cap to you. :)

I just wanted to thank everyone for listening to my 'station'. I'll be fine tuning and adding more stuff soon.
Thanks again...
Josh

Tuning in now, Josh. Sounds great!
You can peek into my list and see if there's anything you'd like there that you don't have.

Neat, is there a way to pause music and skip tracks though. There are so many of them!

Enjoy is right. It's much better than the first Live365 station I listened to--the since-defunct all-William Hung station (I'm not making this up!).

Awsome Sounds. Unfortunately I am stuck with a 56k Dial Up connection for the moment and can't take full advatge of your feed. It keeps buffering. You may want to consider lowering the Bit rate for the Bandwidth deprived.
thanks,

Or you might consider joining us in the 20th Century and getting broadband.
I wouldn't touch the settings, if you set it lower the quality of the music will suffer and you will lose listeners.

I'd listen more but my wireless reception is very crappy. I have to reload about every minute. And with that CBS sounder, it gets to be very annoying.
EDIT: Chris, in case you were wondering, I do have broadband with a wireless router. It's fine for loading pages, but sucks for applications that require constant connections (Palace, Game Show Groove, Yahoo Chat).

Then buddy, that's a problem. I assume you pay a good penny for it; you should try to get it working in tip-top shape.
I agree with Chris: lowering the bandwidth would decrease the quality. And that's no fun.

I have a wireless router too, for my laptop (and Tivo, one of these days.) It streams just fine for me. You may want to reconsider where you have your router sitting.

Does Live365 handle all of the music clearances for you?

Yes, Live365 pays BMI and ASCAP fees so that people can play commercial music on their feeds.

So somebody gave Live365 a list of each and every TPIR prize cue played on the station along with the composer and publisher?

No, they pay the same flat fee a real radio station does that allows them to play commercial tracks.

If the majority of what you have is in mono, you don't lose too much in the translation to a bandwith like 32kbps/11kHz/stereo mp3, which I use for my oldies station. And everyone with a decent dial-up modem can get the ability to hear it.
(For those radioheads out there in GS Forumland, the above bandwith is equivilent in sound to what AM Stereo was in the early 80s).

Yeah, but that wasn't that good :)
Plus, it's not the early 80's, it's 2004. I hold my audio to a higher standard.
