 Did you say there could be only 7 active connections to Radio Toby?  No
 wonder I haven't been able to connect! (gripe, gripe, grumble, grumble...)


Yes, I need to do something about boosting the number of connections.
I'm shooting on making about 10 concurrent connections. I'll annouce it
when I add the additional connections.

Thank you very much, funny you should mention the Gaelic singing.
Someone earlier emailed me privately and griped "Why so much Gaelic ??".
Then someone else emailed me saying "Why so much stuff from Scotland ?
Who are The Old Blind Dogs ??", then someone emailed me asking "Why so
much Cape Breton stuff, how about some variety dude !" then someone
emailed me saying "Who are all these musicians that I've never heard
of?", then someone else emailed saying "Thank you for giving some lesser
known artists exposure." 
Sigh.. So it just goes to show that you can't please everyone even half
of the time!

[scots-l] Internet Radio Station for Scottish Trad. Music

2001-01-07 Thread Egclarsach

I am coming out of "lurking mode" to compliment Toby on his Internet station 
for traditional music. Good selections, especially those from Cape Breton and 
with Gaelic singing! 
 It is much appreciated, and the timing couldn't be better, especially since 
our local NPR station in the Los Angeles  area (KUSC) has decided to cancel 
Fiona Ritchie's "The Thistle and Shamrock"as of this week.  (BTW, If others 
in the LA area are unhappy with this development, it might help if they wrote 
the station to let the management know, at [EMAIL PROTECTED])  Other stations 
that carry the TS do not have good reception here, so it is really nice to 
have Celtic music available over the Internet.
Keep up the good work, Toby!

This sounds pretty good, just on a 33.6K modem here, but every few minutes it 
stutters a bit.

Why no DJ Toby?:)

That's no excuse- you could record the links.

'Coming right up...'
'Don't touch that dial...'
'Your tuned to Radio Toby...'  
etc.

Or are you always doomed to be a phantom?

Yes, actually I could do that. That's actually a really good idea. 
Last night I moved the server to a location with alot more bandwidth
which fixed alot of the frequent rebuffering. Then I experimented with
increaing the streaming rate, but I found that it made it rebuffer even
more for people connecting with modems. So I left it at 32 bits, which
is the same as FM radio, which made the rebuffering rate more
acceptable. The fidelty of FM radio sounds good enough for my purposes. 
I was able to sucessfully boost the maximum number of connections up to
7.

Hello,

Actually you could put some occasional Toby Radio id's in.  Just put them in
the WinAmp playlist.  I seem to remember some automation software around that
would let you do more complex stuff.  Another idea is to record two or more
songs in one file and announce what thay are at the end.

I did some stuff in 'show format' using MP3 (two 50 minutes).  I used 32k
mono so it would sound decent.  Problem is you really need a 56k modem
unless you download.  You cannot download live streams.  What really
surprised me is people liked that I did not talked over the music.  It was
a side effect as I assembled it out of .wav files (including my annoucements)
and did not want to do additional work crossfading it.

I listen alot to techie radio on both TVRO satellite and internet.  I think
it is neat.

I believe you can bypass the above and put:

direct into RealPlayer's Favorites area.  This would bypass the browser and

illegal, though.

Hello folks,

I got my latest little project finally working. I have set up an
Internet Radio Station using Shoutcast that will play Scottish
Traditional Music 24/7. Please do me a big favor if you are interested
and go to www.shoutcast.com then do a search for "celtic", then select
to listen to my radio station "Tobys Traditional Music".Then it should
start streaming music to you if you have either Winamp or the Real Audio
Player installed on your computer (both free programs). Please email me
offlist and tell how well it works for you. 
BTW, the music is a mixture of players from Scotland, Cape Breton, a
little Irish and a little Chinese traditional music. Thanks alot, enjoy!
