I know it's not technically legal to re-broadcast local advertising radio stations. But I've been told by multiple parties that doesn't apply to sat ratio, never verified it though and it one of those things no one cares about. Problem with ripping a bunch of mp3's is everyone will b!tch about what's being played because it's also available as background on everyone's desk phone. This way I don't have to maintain it and all they can do is ask me to rotate the station every once in a while.

Well, I don't think that is *technically* legal, but you can probably get away with it. You could just rip some CDs to MP3 files and put something like WinAmp on there to play the MP3 files in a random or specified order. That's not legal either, but unlikely to get caught either. :-) -----Original Message----- From: N Parr [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, March 04, 2010 11:28 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Sat Radio for your PBX on hold? Stupid question, been wanting to do this for years and Management finally told me to do it. Anyway, say I sign up for the Sirius internet streaming and just plunk an old laptop on the top of the PBX rack. Does the internet stream ever time out or will it stay on indefinitely? Would be kind of hard to put a physical unit in, would have to get an antenna outside. Noticed they also have a tabletop radio that uses internet connection for it's feed. Suppose that would work also if the feed never times out.
