*Big thank you to sexy Jonata for is collaboration
The idea is to create a streaming internet radio for the Obliter8
gaming community.
Nothing too fancy to start with..
A simple playlist of music, MP3's could eventually be contributed by the
members of the community.
(a disclaimer could be made, stating that the mp3 was legally own, pre-uploading)
Or we could also skip the website, to not stir shit and bring problems to ghost.
We could share the mp3 with the server's host by simply creating a gmail account where people could send their mp3 for the radio.
There would be no downloading of mp3...
At some point if it goes well, the community radio could be used for
announcing special events, news about the community and self-promotion
with advertisements about "Obliter8.com the bestest gaming community"
None of these announcements would be live, it will be pre-recorded, approved and then added to the playlist.
The idea, is not to have a DJ or an howard Stern wannabe...
But, if someone had good content and was able to present it nicely..
He could have a pre-recorded "radio show" that would be added in the playlist.
For those familiar with the show/broadcast that Dasprid does/did (not sure), well it could be something along those lines, but the show would be added in the "regular" 24/7 playlist and could be "re-runned" through out the week at various hours.
[note]I'm not talking about myself here, but i'm sure there's a few audio-wise in this community
For me, Music and adds about the community would be nice enough.
Personally and a lot of others are listening to music or internet broadcast
while surfing the web or playing games online.
It can also be integrated to the reward system "credits", by giving
the members who have reached a higher level on the site, blocks
of time on the radio, so they could decide the playlist for their giving time.
This is the best site i've seen so far on how to set up a streaming-radio.

Finally, nothing is set in stone here..
I'm proposing this as a community project and a nice experiment
for us to do
So developpement and realisation of this, depends on you guys.

Anyway, there was a central server that used to stream the music. We used shoutcast to connect to it by ip and username/password (to keep the unwanted out). We would play the mp3 files from our pc and users would listen from the main server.
I think that would be a better way to do this if we did it at all. I think that uploading music/audio files would be too much unless they were interview type files. And if there were times when the source streaming stopped, then a serverside playlist could go into effect.
Just my thoughts. And very nice graphic sunburn! +5 Heckle points for the pic!

and others, im pretty sure no one would care. :'(
what happened to all the good music?!? (Techno is good too, Vortexx rules!)
Also, The Godfather is the greatest movie ever created.
@Starship Those sound good to me!
I have a very wide assortment of music I could play. Well over 100 gig of music. Not alot of rap or country. But I have almost everything else in between.
Nice
People with experience, server and content to share!!
That's a better start then i thought
@Heckle: I didn't know it was possible to "sub-stream" at a central server, nice feature.
@Starship Same reply as TheMe, Those sound good to me!!
I made this *sample of a schedule to show what was on my mind while making this project.
Now, this is just a *sample..
I had in mind, that the shows were Weekly based, and re-runs of those shows were broadcast
all week at various times to cover different timezones with the same content.
And also if someone missed the "Original" broadcast of a show, he can always try to catch one of its "Re-runs" during the week..
The other aspect of this, is also the fact that it's less of a burden for people to make a 2
hours show/playlist each week then each day.
But it's all about time and commitment, if someone wants to put more time and energy at this..
Good for him and let him have more "Original" shows and less "Re-run" of is shows.
*Note: Names used in that sample are fictif and none are related to any known person, if they are.... it's purely accidental
does anyone know where to buy acdc tickets for their concert in toronto on january 9th?
Don't worry, I am by no means purely techno/dance. I have an ENORMOUS range of musical tastes, from new age to techno to punk to rock to classical to polka to hip hop to rap to goodness-knows-what to...well, you get the point.
If I were to do a show, I'd probably start out doing stuff I'm most familiar with (Techno, as you electronica-noobs call it), but I'd get really eclectic really fast.
