My Suggestion For T.A. Radio
Swamper I know sometimes you dont reply to my post but I think this is a important one with an important matter, well you probably already read the thread about "Simcuts Time", http://www.tranceaddict.com/forums/...15&pagenumber=1 and I was thinking about it for a while. T.A. readio was/is a great improvement for this site, it's very impressive for a trance site like this one to have all these features that you have recently added. Although, whats the point of simcut or any-1 else doing broadcast if no 1 is going to listen? Most common reasons for people not tuning in is theses...
Reasons..
1. Bitrate is very low (one time I saw it go down to 22 kbs)
2. The connection usually breaks up for connections on DSL & Higher
3. Alot dont know when they are going to broadcast
4. Alot of people are at work when the broadcast are hapening
5. Alwayz the same people broadcasting (simcut, Temps, yeavat)
My suggestons
1. Have 2 Bitrates, 56k users 56kbs, and for DSL & Higher 128 Kbs
2. I dont know how to fix this problem, but I guess it depends on the broadcasters speed connection.
3. Make a little schedule, let people know may-b a couple of hours or a day in advance prior to the broadcast, if anything make a 3 time a week schedule all depending on the broadcasters schedule. (Remember not all people who visit this site use the forums, so they wouldnt know when/what time the broadcast will happen).
4. Different broadcast on different time slots, Ex. Uk, U.S. Eastern Time
5. Try mixing it up, there are alot of talanted Dj's On this site (the forums), try them out for a shoutcast.
Just some suggestions and I hope you might take these in concideration, please let me know what you think. If any-1 else has more suggestions please add also..
