| Sounds like college radio to me Unless I'm missing something...
You can't play what you want, when you want, you have to "tune in". It's apparently slightly better than FM radio, not CD quality. You still are stuck with their selection of music that was built by consensus. It's a very localized "controlled" listening service. Not fileshare.
Sounds like a college radio multi-play-list with a web interface to me.
Clever, sure.
Groundbreaking? Maybe only legally.
The RIAA isn't sweating this one yet. |

Wow, when I click through, it load my iTunes with a list of music to choose from, that's pretty wild. Just 24kbps. So how is this legal? I can trap the stream while playing, easy enough. Although I can't pin down the genre of most of the list it loaded to me. Anyhoo.... thanks for the link. |

| Thanks, I run ANETSTATION and there's a section at the station that explains the technology used. BUT! and it's the big BUT of the entire conversation, what everyone seems to not notice is that the monopoly the music industry has deprives everyone from hearing an incredible wealth of talent. You only get to listen to talent the record industry owns. (perhaps slightly over generalized) Safe for radio stations to play. Safe for chain stores to sell. Holstein music for the Holstein age. Wearing Holstein clothes, Holstein jobs, Mooooo! If it's not Holstein it's not good. NOT! Good is not about being popular or well-known. Good music is good. If you don't know it exists because it doesn't get airtime or shelf space in the stores, you don't get good. You get Holstein.
Cheers! |

You are so correct!!!! go to »www.wwoz.com this is
a public radio station (not NPR!) run by musicians. You will hear music played there you will hear no where else. You will listen to what the big studio's won't record because they won't make the big bucks off of it. The DJ's at this station bring in their own music libraries in to add to what is played on the air. I have
played jazz, and big band for decades, my first love in this style is the trombone. I am of the opinion WWOZ is the
best jazz, and ethnic music station on the planet.
This is a station worth supporting with your contributions
because it goes to music and not a political agenda like NPR.
