SonOfMOAM Date: April 7, 2011 @ 12:17 PM Write better songs and stop posting every single thought you have as a forum thread. PS. Pay more attention. DMusic radio has been dead for a long time. TnyjMuzic Date: April 7, 2011 @ 7:19 PM DMusic Radio has been dead for a long time? I just recently found out about it and i've been here since '05. Was it ever active? ShadowMom Date: April 7, 2011 @ 8:47 PM We gave it a shot, Tony, but it died for lack of listeners. TnyjMuzic Date: April 8, 2011 @ 4:31 PM Ok Shadowmom. It's too bad i missed it. So why does it still appear on the main webpage to the right of the screen? hantu Date: April 9, 2011 @ 8:38 PM In the hope that it will be revived again? Distilled1 Date: April 9, 2011 @ 11:31 PM they still work these are all user created playlist on the front page pog Date: April 10, 2011 @ 1:53 PM What if we reassessed the whole idea of having a dmusic radio, and reduced it down to just one radio stream that plays real time? Like it could be configured to play like a top 50 of all genre's, or even random songs when it is not manned, and at certain times, we could consider having subscribers and artists host a songlist as a guest D.J. More interaction could make the place more popular, including a live chat in irc, which can be logged into by user credentials. Distilled1 Date: April 10, 2011 @ 2:49 PM Pog I really tried to do that. the issue was getting someone to set the shoutcast server info on the server. at the time the listener count was low enough that I don't think it would have affected bandwith usage. I am still all up for getting something like that going again. the servers I use when I do go live when the mood strikes I rent from inside Second life and they have limitations - like I am not supposed to use as a radio but as a live show stream, - there is no way to set things like intro on play for listeners (you know the "your listening to dmusic radio") and to set a auto play if no live DJ (basically just a shoutcast settings in the config to play the already on the server top 40 or what not (something I can do) - and setting up a portal page for DJs to log in and take the stream over live ) I would love to work on this if there is TRUE interest and people would LISTEN and spread the word .. can even do things like talk shows live with skype call in on music biz, gaming, art etc etc.. a true indie web radio was my idea ShadowMom Date: April 11, 2011 @ 1:14 PM How about shows just using different user playlists? Live radio would have to have more support, both software and advertising. We could never even get our USERS here to listen. The best advertising we could come up with was to post in our own blogs or in the forums, and only our regular cast of miscreants would even KNOW we were doing it. They'd pop in to listen to their own track, then leave. No internet presence. But please, must have deejays, I'm not going there again. ShadowMom Date: April 12, 2011 @ 12:39 PM Don't get me wrong about this! I would love to have streaming radio here, I'm usually in the vicinity of my pc and enjoy hearing new music. Exposure to music others enjoy is one of the best ways to find new tunes. And THAT makes Mom JennyK Date: April 12, 2011 @ 2:04 PM I've been roaming forums lately and I think the radio is something I would love to have running, but I think it needs more of a "in your face" presence. It all comes down to interactivity and dynamic pages. The DMRadio is clunky even to start with. M3u streaming is all but considered dead now, whether I hate that or not. Remember now that we, and I include myself in that, all have an attentionspan shorter than it ever was. We need stuff that limits us to 140 characters or less to force us to interact. I would use the radio, If I had a button on my user page saying something like "DMusic Hot tracks right now! and I could start that music playing without clicking on something so nerdy sounding as playlists There is no such thing as a playlist anywhere (correction, Youtube has the playlists within a channel but that site is so damn confusing It doesn't count.) .They are all channels. A subscriber don't subscribe to space and bandwidth, a subscriber wants information and immediate updates! There are fans and friends, not groupies, There is need for instant gratification and no tolerance for site errors. Btw, a radio channel will not give you a choice and one reason I don't listen is that I hate drop down menus and too many options. Let me pick a station out of max 3! I'm sure this is nothing new but somehow the elderly feel of DMusic could be made seemingly better in part by simple wording in places. I don't mean to go off topic here but it's the same with videio. Yes, we have a forum to post your videos. So what? Not everybody likes forums. If that button I mentioned was followed by a link saying "Watch JennyKs latest Tube Vid. With comment, share and tweet buttons. etc etc blah blah blah. Sigh. Then yes, ability to add other users "channels" on my page and vice versa, snagging is the word? Hmm. Anyways. This comes dangerously close to a well known music page that I won't mention. haha. but IMO, the reason I hate that site is that it's rarely about creating music when it all comes down to it. Enough. I need coffee sooooo bad now. Haven't typed that much in months. ouch ouch ouch, pinky cramp. TnyjMuzic Date: April 16, 2011 @ 7:07 AM Jenny K i agree with you on a lot of topics. I would love to have a DMusic Radio. Maybe make it more interesting with CD Artwork, Song Info, Links The Artist Page,etc. Making it something exciting looking might attract people interest to at least check it out. JennyK Date: April 16, 2011 @ 7:22 AM Exactly. Personally I want to know who is on the radio, "Now playing", I listened to the DMall the time or whatever it was. There's a track there that is so cool but my player won't easily tell me what's playing. I shouldn't have to read the m3u file and try to figure out what the hell it is I'm listening to. That is an accessibility problem with my software I know but in all honesty; these days there should be no need to use an external player. There are pros and cons for that argument I know. A recent problem with the m3u is that IE 8 or Windows security all of a sudden can decide to treat m3u as risky and won't let you open it automatically. I haven't found a fix for it yet. Anyone know of any? Flash is really f-ing convenient after all is said and done and I'm very grateful that the DM flash players are totally accessible to me. It could have gone either way so it's probably more luck than thought that lets me listen. Fast-Debrid Date: August 16, 2011 @ 11:43 AM Wow! I love your ideas guys! They are all brilliant. I also wish Dmusic Radio to be revived again. It would be cool if this forum site has something like that which is active. I know it takes time, effort and money but I am looking forward to that. cheers! shadowself Date: August 16, 2011 @ 5:58 PM Fast, you're a jackass.
