Radio Experiment

[Glyn Williams]

hiya, bored today - have a go at this will ya

This is an online radio station where you can control the playlist via remote control. - Just been playing setting it up

My pc is on 24/7 so if you lot like it i can load it up with thousands of tracks and whenever you want to hear something you can just que it up for the next track - thing is though its actually last come first served so if someone clicks a request after yours theirs will come first!

weird i know but they are working on the software.

Anyway, heres what you need to do to access this 24/7 northern soul station.

Its broadcast in mp3 pro so you need a player capable of playing it - winamp or windows media will play it but without the mp3pro plugin the quality will be crap - with the mp3pro plugin the quality is near to cd so it's worth doing.

First get winamp from here https://www.winamp.com/player/full.php

then install it

then get the mp3pro plugin here

https://www.mp3prozone.com/assets/mp3PROAudioDecoder.exe

Now you are ready for some soul -

Listen to the station by clicking this link

https://217.79.98.113:8000/listen.pls

now comes the smart bit - to control the playlist go here and type in a search - for example "baby" will bring everything up with baby in it etc etc

click a song title and then choose 'add to playlist' and bob's your uncle - yours is in the que.

Have fun with it but note that it only holds 8 listeners at a time at the moment (will be increased as I go to a 1mb upload in a week or so and that will do around 35)

try it, if it does not work then let me know and ill bin it

If you want to design your own radio station, I really like www.pandora.com

This really is a very clever program that streams music in great quality based on a musicology.

Just type in a track you like and pandora will play more just like it. It's a great deal more clever than it appears.

Give it a try - it's free.
