Fantastic, great to see GBS-FM alive again! Congrats to all involved!

_{p.s. do the "old" accounts carry over or do I need to re-reg?}

It's a whole new site, so you'll have to rereg.

The lesson here is that people like different kind of music. I gained an appreciation for lots of things I used to dislike, simply because it was on and I didn't turn the volume down for whatever reason. Try some new stuff. you might like it. If you don't like it, something else will play very shortly.

I can't get fstream via the app store (looks like it's been pulled). Any other options for iPhone come to mind? I just tried tuner and it didn't work.

On my iPad I just hit the listen link on the site (in safari) and it starts streaming. Maybe try that?

I like it as a chat box, removes my need to use the IRC channel.

Well, it is intended to comment on the current song, so as long as you keep it to that (so the comment still makes sense later), that's fine.

You know what GBS radio needs? Goon-recorded jingles every five songs or so, no longer than two or three seconds. Just for the extra goony flavor.

Loving this site, by the way. I was getting bored with Pandora. The program is so desperate to please me. GBS-fm gives no gently caress.

We have that! It's a little broken right now, but it'll be back.

Searching tip that just came up:

If you use quick search, the dongs it displays are only the dongs with that term in the title. If you are looking for an artist, you have to click on the artist name to see the songs by that artist.

Also, since the site is down right now I can't see how the tagging works, but on my own PC I put the artist covering it and then the original artist in parentheses in the artist field. Is this how I should do it for GBS FM?

Ugh no, don't do this. Artist should be the person doing the cover. You can put the original artist in the comments field once it's uploaded if you want.

There seems to be a persistent 17 second delay between when the web page thinks a song has started, and when it shows up in the stream. 17s seems very long for internet lag.

The delay leads people commenting at the end of a song they're listening to, to accidentally comment on the next song queued up instead. If anything, the delay should go the other direction to avoid that.

Your listening app likely has a buffer, no?

I have a question that other people may be wondering:

What is the guideline for uploading different mixes and edits of songs. I assume stuff like remixes are obviously okay, but what about radio edits and the like. For instance, I have a 9 minute version of a song and then a single edit which about a 1/3 of the length. Would it be okay to upload both (provided neither have been uploaded before) or is it one or the other.

That's all fine. They are sufficiently different.

Well, I think it's time to pimp the weekend radio shows.

Tonight, at 7pm central, 8pm eastern tune in for my Friday show, Zero-G on Ghetto Radio - http://ghettoradio.us/

I'm thinking to do a "Welcome to GBSFM" type show with my own slant (alternative, rock, 80s), so let me start your musical weekend off tonight and listen in!

Would the numbers station really qualify as music though? Unlike noise, where the creators call it music and it's intention is music, numbers stations are just recordings of spy broadcasts. It seems like it would fall under the spoken-word issue.

Of course, that's up to other people who aren't me. But just wondering.

I'm willing to accept the fact that there are a lot fewer metal fans (none?) this time around than there were amongst the original GBS-FM listenerbase, but could you possibly refrain from making the same 3-4 clich�d and unfunny comments on every dong with any kind of death vocal in it? Feel free not to give any of it a chance and continue making GBS threads all over it if you can come up with some original poo poo now and then.

Ah, Beelz. How soon we forget that it was pretty much the exact same thing in the early days of the old station. (Industrial gets the same treatment)

Is there someone who is rating every song in the playlist a 1? I was scrolling through it and every song with only one vote has a 1.

Yes. Someone apparently thinks that it's the pinnacle of comedy or something.

Jonnty posted:

I'll probably implement something like that this week, if only to stop DaWolfey's (very productive) moaning.

If one could look at what a user has voted, one could easily see that a very high percentage of a person's votes were one.

For something like this grab Doc0 in IRC some time, he is a huge Coil fan and has a massive collection. It could be a truncated upload or it might be a different version to the one you have. Once he's checked his original against the upload either a replacing version or an alternative version can be uploaded.

Alternatively add it to the playlist anyway, if it cuts off mid song and is corrupted someone should report it.

Good advice to triple check, especially Coil since they often have a bunch of different versions. However, in this case it looks like it got chopped. I upped the Coil pretty early on and I think the FTP was having issues. I'll fix it when I get home.

:cheers:

PS: Add more Coil

I suppose it's their site so they can do what they want, but I hope they don't do it too often or the site loses some of its charm.

Seems to follow the rule from the old GBSFM. That is, that mods can skip, but they generally don't unless it's spoken word or corrupt, or has a huge stretch of silence or something. If someone's abusing their mod powers, then bring it up in IRC. Sometimes humor value comes into play as well.

Mods tend to be pretty lawful neutral (D&D JOKE!), so I wouldn't worry too much about abuses of power.

Check this page out.

The Spectrum Analyser, Volume with VU, and Streaming gadgets all all from there. There are multiple, slightly different streaming gadgets there, I'm using the plainest one, called 'Shoutcast Radio � Sidebar Gadget.' I also use a few other gadgets from that page.

Windows 7 got rid of the sidebar that Vista had. You can still have the gadgets, but there's no optional bar for them to neatly attach to. I liked that feature. While it can be re-enabled through some overly complicated fiddling with Windows system files, there's a much easier way to get that functionality. A gadget called 7 Sidebar fakes it perfectly, and installs as easily as any other gadget.

These are marvelous. Thanks!
