Holy crap, I almost never thought I'd see the day. I knew it was coming, but this is pleasantly sudden.

4) Make sure your poo poo is PROPERLY TAGGED.

Oh yes, this too. Especially as a mod, few things are more annoying than songs with blank artists or track numbers in them.

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.

A reminder that if you want to hear DJs, they're on GhettoRadio during the weekend, or at night (European/North American time) during the week.

Thanks both, updated the OP.

Can anyone recommend some decent streaming music iphone/android/etc apps to put in the OP that will work ?

For the iPhone and iPod touch there's Waft or FStream, though I gather FStream is no longer available.

~~Go look at it if you want. http://gbs.tv~~

I even remembered my password. By the stats page, I don't think it gets any traffic, and I'm wondering who's still paying to run it.

edit: nevermind, looks like the stream is down.

I fought to keep it alive as long as possible, but unless putnam fixes an inherent problem with the database, it's probably not coming back.

Voting and loving dongs, does that have any effect? Or is that just fow when I don't want to do any work but need to look busy?

If you love a dong, it's added to your Favorites collection in the left-hand menu. Makes it easier to cue up your favorite songs, and you can check out other users' favorites too.

Haha, having Lustmord and Serrie voted down has finally made you crack.

Actually, I'm used to people not liking my music. It's just that some people are seemingly complaining about EVERY song, which makes me wonder what they would approve of.

Edit: Site and stream are working again, BTW. Just a very brief downtime.

The following is the best for our tag setup until we support more info:

Title: "Song (Artist2 cover)"

I wouldn't even do that, just put the covered artist in the composer field.

One humble request:
One feature I miss from the original version is the time when your dong is scheduled for play.

I'm going echo this along with Peachstapler. If the queue is going to be this long, it's really important to know when a tune will play.

Until recently you couldn't get people to vote on a song no matter what you did, and now everything gets rigorously critiqued, haha.

Yeah, I think all your good doom stuff is in there. I was about to complain about the sparse discography of staples like Iron Maiden but they appear to be filling out recently. I've been getting into The Crown lately and there doesn't appear to be anything on the station.

I'd forgotten how badly normal people react to death metal, which makes me want to toss on some Demilich or something.

If you have any funeral doom that isn't up, I'd like to hear it.

Nihiliste: Oct 23, 2005; The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation.

When tagging and uploading, by the way, try to keep things consistent with what's already on the station. This is how we end up with "Belle & Sebastian" and "Belle and Sebastian" as separate artists.

Time for England's Hidden Reverse on Ghetto. My show is mostly industrial, with a mix of ambient, neofolk and whatever else I feel like throwing in.

If this poo poo was linked to the record company servers and I could put my credit card in and click download, I'd be loving broke.

If the RIAA could just impliment such a system, [mp3] piracy would be forever gone. Why the gently caress they can't present music in such a basic way is beyond me.

I'm sure Apple is working on something like that right now.

I am still unable to use the FTP server. I keep getting:

"Response: 530 Authentication failed.
Error: Critical error
Error: Could not connect to server"

I've been trying since the 11th with zero luck. I have used every permutation of my account name (Bishop Beo, Bishop_Beo, bishop_beo, etc.) I can think of with the correct password.

What could be the issue?

This is just a guess, but check if your transfer mode is set to passive. Having a client set to active blocked me from getting into some FTPs for the longest time.

I've been really enjoying both GBS-FM and Ghetto Radio the past week. If I get frustrated with GBS-FM, I'll hop over to Ghetto and see if there are any shows playing - I've heard a lot of great stuff from the DJs over there!

One of them let his uncle do a guest spot with a super-chill bossa nova playlist, and there's been some nice jazz and ambient shows as well. The current show's getting good, too.

Both stations are pretty great. Good work, goons!

I assume the frustration is just what other goons might pick for music?

I hope you haven't updated recently. I made that mistake. They added all sorts of useless garbage. Now I'll probably dump it and use VLC or something.

WinAmp is generally fine so long as you opt out of a lot of things during installation.

Have fun obsessing over tagging and album art if you don't already.

Looking at the screenshot for that download, I've never understood how a Westerner can become so obsessed with Japan that they understand the language well enough to use their computer that way. (Hi kalleboo!)

http://gbs.fm/song/18998 It was just about to play at about 9pm last night when it disappeared from the playlist. I assumed it was skipped since it had been mentioned in this thread.

I queued it up again after that.

Quite possibly. I wouldn't have skipped it, personally.
