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.

I use Waft. You can paste in custom URLs or import playlist files through iTunes.

Great job everyone involved!

This is excellent!
I honestly had no idea this was a thing. Glad I can have another outlet for sharing and finding some new tunes.

Well I'm trying to upload a song but I can't seem to connect.

I'm trying to connect with Filezilla. For the host I'm using gbs.fm, the username and password I'm using my own, and the port is 2100. Is that all correct or am I messing something up?

GBS-FM is awesome, but it does need a trial period of a couple weeks before you can be sure whether it's your thing or not. When I first joined it was the middle of a Dragonforce block, and had I kept my initial impression I would probably have never stuck around and discovered so many crazy genres and artists.

Now all let's go and find that cat.

I'm actually proud to say that this was already up and running (albeit in a horrendously elementary form) when the old one went down - there was no downtime in between the two whatsoever.

I can pretty much blame 90% of my musical taste on GBS-FM at this point. Some of that might be Stockholm syndrome, but who knows.

Looking forward to how many of the new people stay after being exposed to Bob Pokosy, post-rave in general, Dahv, and to a lesser extent Venetian Snares (I like Venetian Snares but it took me a year or so of listening to GBS-FM).

buttesnet? I can't find that on a server list.

Also liking this so far, it's a great idea for broadening your taste or at the very least finding out what other people are into.

Venetian Snares is kind of an accquired taste; my first exposure to it was listening to nothing but Venetian Snares at home for three or four days and I think it broke me. But don't worry, most of the music played on gbs.fm is usually totally tolerable!

oh, as an aside: spoken word isn't allowed! I guess they forgot to mention that!

Never heard of GBS Radio before; this is pretty awesome.

What are the legal ramifications of uploading music to this thing? Not trolling, seriouspost. Given how long this thing has been around, apparently, I have to assume someone's done their homework by now; it'd be great to see some kind of statement on the website indicating what the legal framework is for doing this.

Something we forgot to mention in the OP, don't upload non-music, this includes spoken-word. It gets banned and skip'd if played. If you feel this is draconian or whatever, please realise we've had this discussion to death in the previous years and it was locked in place back then.

And yeah, nothing will jam a crowbar into your musical taste and crack it wide open like gbs-fm!

I had Rush at first, and I was, like, "Awesome! Rush!" but then it was "Mammary Sex from Wiki", and I kept looking furtively over my shoulder to make sure my 80-year-old mother wasn't listening, which is stupid because she lives, like, 50 miles away and is completely housebound. But still. Such was the impact.

But today I learned what a pearl necklace is.

Does this include the "Mammary Sex from Wiki" I just listened to? Or is that being grandfathered in?

See also: noise. No, we won't ban it, it's music.

There is however no sfw rule. Pretty much anything goes as long as it is music, so you will hear grindcore, racism and even worse Christian Weston Chandler

I just banned and skipped it, so no. If you find a dong that is non-music, report it as such and a mod will look into it. This goes for any kind of mixup, be they duplicates, mistags or just plain untagged dongs, always report them.
