Radio

Please give 7 or 8 examples of bands not just a genre (e.g. "Radiohead, The Beatles" etc. NOT "jazz" or "rock".)

(And I can’t just tune into 6 Music because I don’t have a radio so streaming media i.e. radio is blocked)

Thanks

I’m looking for the answer to this question too, intrigued by the BBC’s latest proposal to terminate broadcast.

SO FAR I am very impressed and think it would be a great loss.

Genres seem to include new age, progressive, cutting-edge rock/indie styles, perhaps even electronic. Also includes iconic bands from the last 40 years ( so i can imagine The Smiths or The Beatles are played)

I am most impressed by them recently airing an in-session by Interpol! Doesn’t get any cooler!

So in conclusion, Radio 6 play all genres of rock from the last 40 years, and air bands at the cutting edge of modern day rock. Sounds a little like XFM no?

I would like to listen music online. Many Chinese artist are my favorite. Where can i listen chinese online radio?

Can’t vouch for any of these as far as quality, variety, etc., but they will at least give you a lot of choices to explore.

the radio station i want to record has a website so you can listen over the internet. is there a way that i can record it to an mp3 format of some sort?

Of course. Try Freecorder.com or Audacity

If you know the radio station, whats the song where there’s the guy walking with the sunglasses in the dark and he is singing something like "Well you might as well just go" or something like that. Any help would be appreciated, thank you very much.

I live in a remote rural area with no radio reception. I do have internet however, and since there are many stations streaming online, I could connect with a "whole house transmitter" which would rebroadcast the station so that I could receive it with various radios in the house. My question is: What is the best way to get a continuous streaming signal, 24/7? I don’t want to but a computer to use solely for this task, and most of the internet radios that I have read about don’t have good reviews. Any Ideas?

theres a great media player out there that i use called Winamp and one of the things it has is an internet radio streaming function, it has AOL radio and Shoutcast radio and both have tons of stations to choose from, i prefer AOL radio because it comes with a lot more channel options.

place to download is winamp.com
its completely free and its a rather small program

I built an FM radio transmitter (if you need the schematic I will scan it) and every once in the while use to broadcast some music. The problem is it only broadcasts within a very (I mean very!) short distance. How could I increase the distance?
I am pretty sure it is not the power, it is connected to a 3 foot wire, that is how it works.
HERE IS THE SCHEMATIC:

1. Use a directional antenna to increase the output signal in the desired direction.
2. Adjust the impedance of your antenna. The circuit you describe does not include an output impedance adjustment, so you have to use/make an antenna that matches this circuit. If you have the antenna connected directly to the output, and the length of the antennae is 1/4 the wavelength of the frequency that you are transmitting at, you should get maximum signal transmission.
3. Get an RF amp. (But remember, the FCC limits the broadcast power you can legally transmit without a license.)

Most rock concerts i have been to do not allow u to bring a DSLR. However they will let you bring a point and shoot. But this is a chamber orchestra playing at New York City Radio City music hall with Peter Gabriel singing on May 2nd. Would anyone know?

If your attempts to obtain permission fail, you have options. I don’t want to steer you into high risk. Just consider this and proceed cautiously.

If your seat is inconspicuously located you could use the DSLR without any added disruption that a point and shoot would present. Be aware of the people around you and walking the isles. I have seen ushers using those laser pin lights to signal to people doing things they want to discourage.

Separate the body and lens so they are smaller and conceal them. They have become very lax with searches. It used to be nearly impossible to get a camera into some concerts like Pink Floyd. You do not see many photos from the 70’s shows when they were known to have the most advanced stage equipment of the time.

At a chamber orchestra they will be very strict perhaps not allowing anyone to move to and from seats until breaks between numbers. I would not expect the visuals to be as compelling however with the absence of smoking. They will be very strict about cigarette and pot smoking. Even though Gabriel could have smoke machines providing atmosphere directly on stage the areas further out will not have sufficient fog for lasers and Vari-lites. I am just preparing you for a possibility. I recall waiting for Paul McCartney’s show to begin as they pumped enormous amounts of fog into the arena from the stage, and they were tolerant of cigarette and pot smoking even though all smoking is illegal indoors here. We are fortunate that the fog used is safer and more affective than the early days.

I saw Peter Gabriel a few years ago and he is very strong as a performer. He has genuine charisma with a crowd. The sound and stage is the best. I don’t think you could be disappointed.

Hi there,

I am interested creating my own website with my own online radio streaming. How can I do this without signing up on those sites??

Thank you very much.

You have to pay for a site and do quite a few things I have no knowledge of. If you went somewhere like godaddy, you’d get a better idea of the costs, the risks and the things you need to do.

Hey I am a big fan of leona lewis, and i love her music. Do any of ya’ll know by any chance what radio station her songs come on mostly?

Every radio staion except the Christian music.

I know about that payola BS and that most mainstream stations have only about 400 songs in their library per week. So who decides what gets played on radio? Because I’m sure some songs would get popular if they got play

It depends on the station. Some rely more on pre-programming, some on the Billboard charts, and some are more DJ-chosen. Call up a station that’s more DJ-chosen and ask them to play something. As listeners listen, they will be more likely to re-request something that has had recent airplay.

If you’re in a band, send them a comp copy, and then call them in a week and ask, "Hey, do you have __ by __? Could you play it?"
