I'm willing to DJ, I have a pretty big library of 80's synthpop, 90s pretty much any genre, and hip hop. All in mp320kbps or FLAC [editline]15th September 2013[/editline] oh, and [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c84adlUWv5c[/url] was pretty golden from the old days
Just took the survey, gonna (probably) be the only person chiming in for a Ska/Punk station.

Be sure to post when the hosts get picked. Also, the station will not likely be 320kbps. Not sure if there is a difference that you can hear between a file initially being 320kbps or 196kbps on a lower quality stream, but it will either be 128kbps or 196kbps.

It kinda does help because your turning higher quality to lower so it does make a better difference than youtube to 128 or other stuff
problem with all of the previous facepunch radios was that 90% of the time it was just some kids talking to each other and occasionally playing shit pop songs and stuff that was considered funny at that time (gangnam style, jizzed in my pants, etc) I DJ UK House, UK Garage, old school Grime, old school Dubstep, and would probably help out if there are a few other good DJs on board and as long as all of the other shows aren't just 15 year olds "prank calling" people.
Facepunch Grammar Nazi Rock Anthem :v:

[QUOTE=Agoat;42198105]Facepunch LIVE got good views, but we've only done specific shows. (Exactly two, a few years apart lol). Having a good show that goes live once in a while wouldn't be a bad idea. [editline]15th September 2013[/editline] Do not ban Thrift Shop.[/QUOTE] It will not be "banned", but more of "not played unless it is appropriate". Top 40 and stuff would include Thrift Shop.
Thanks for the results everyone! Nearly 170 people answered. Guess this means it will have to happen one way or another.
just wondering, how expensive is hosting? I recall a game server was like 11 bucks but this is web/radio
[QUOTE=weedscopes;42219511]just wondering, how expensive is hosting? I recall a game server was like 11 bucks but this is web/radio[/QUOTE] Assuming you are talking about people doing it for you and not a VPS/Dedi. The average price seems to be around $15-$35 a month for 128kbps w/ Auto DJ.
What would you collect donations with? I will listen to it, but I don't have a steady income to donate. I wasn't aware of the previous attempts so I will listen to this.

I happily be a DJ. Know my way around multiple radio DJ'ing softwares and got a good taste in much IMO.

Can we see the results of the survey too?

Seems like that is about as many responses I will be getting out of the survey. 181 isn't that bad. I will be looking over some stuff and get a better idea on what should be done with the radio station, then make a thread asking for everyone's help in a week or so. That will be the same time hosts and DJs and stuff would be selected. After that, I both need to setup a bank account to verify my PayPal and to get (another) dedicated credit card for purchasing stuff online. Next, do a bit of crowd-funding for anything the station might need (domain and stuff), depending on what the hosting situation is going to be. Benjojo said he would totally host it, but some stuff is still needed to make it work right. Finally, upload enough songs to make the Auto DJ happy and launch everything. Thanks for the support everyone!
no problem! cant wait Also, for all the people who voted electronic, what are some of your favorites? Skrillex or Daft Punk or Justice or Aphex Twin or Postal Service, etc (both are pretty different but are categorized as "electronic")
I might be interested, but it'd be competing with my local FM station and that's a tall order.
Surprised Progressive Rock was 3rd and Jazz was tied for 4th. I don't know about anyone else, but I think a Prog/Jazz hour would sound really nice.
When I only saw 14 votes for the 20's/30's genera I was sad.
I remember Shoutpunch, and I was one of the DJ's for the short lived Binary Radio spin-off that ran after it. Legendary days, some of the best.
If only you guys had advertising and were affiliated with facepunch itself... [editline]21st September 2013[/editline] I think one official radio would be pretty nice. More people would listen if it was part of facepunch.
Will you create addons for game servers where people can listen in while in game if the host has the addon installed on their server?
[QUOTE=smithy285;42271044]Will you create addons for game servers where people can listen in while in game if the host has the addon installed on their server?[/QUOTE] PlayX/any other HTML-based player addon can play audio streams just fine.
