NeoRadio

From NeoWiki

NeoRadio is an idea for a community owned radio station. The radio is hosted on radio.rickb.net or http://radio.neoturbine.net and rickb.net:8000 for stats.

As of January 23rd 2009, NeoRadio was converted from SHOUTcast to the more friendly and open IceCast!

[edit] Objective

To create a community ran and community based radio listening group who DJ and listen consistently.

[edit] Pros

A good experience for users to listen to popular music and make requests.

[edit] Cons

Considerable bandwidth is used both in sending and receiving, causing a heavy load for both the server and the DJ. You could theoretically use a gigabyte a day if the rate is high. (Current server running Icecast is unmetered. But future servers may have little.)

Are there no means of having a distributed internet radio server? Sahal 14:21, 18 April 2008 (EDT)

[edit] DJs

Anyone who would like to DJ is free to, however you must be active on the channel and display enough common sense to be given a password that controls the radio.

Anyone needing information to DJ or software to acquire, please contact rickb in the channel, or email me at admin[at]rickb[dot]net

Please upload your playlist while you are DJing so people can shout requests out in the channel.

               'overtaking the mic'
  • We need to make promos
    • Dimav says NiTRO N(i)eoTurbine RadiO) is the marketing name we should use
  • Can we use (and abuse) your VoIP box to add a little flavor to NeoRadio? Sahal 14:21, 18 April 2008 (EDT)
