People with modems can't listen to 128, so they have to have bitrates to accomodate all connections.

I can't blame them for starting a pay service for as big as they have become, but I'll stick with TranceAirwaves fulltime now.

Paying to be able to listen to a radio... what bs.

My fren... radio is not free... the advertising pays for them to be on the air, with internet radio, its not the air, but the bandwidth, sumone has to pay for it, its inevitable!

Someone has to pay for it, yes, but it shouldn't be us.

Do/would you pay to listen to "real" radio?

I dont mind paying for a 160k stream, but I dont want to be paying for all the other sh*t that u get with it, email accounts, removal of banners from website etc. They should introduce a radio stream only package at a slightly cheaper price, people dont want all the other crap.

don't think much people will pay for di. They will search for alternatives like tranceairwaves. I understand DI.FM, but on the other hand, i don't get it why they don't have enough money to run the business right now. Ok, it costs much, but radiostations can make money out of adverts and stuff, even try to get cheap hosts for the streams...

i think that they have been expanding too fast lately, which might be one reason for their increased costs

it's not like regular radio where if u have the equipment you can broadcast, online radio requires the continual cost of bandwidth

hmmm Lets get a few things straight about Di.fm and bandwidth

90% of their bandwidth is FREE and donated to them so get the idea that your cashis going towards bandwidth out of ya heads, what they r paying for however is the same as what we at TAW pay for, the Royalty fees, however TAW will not be introducing a charge anytime soon

They dont have to pay the RIAA dick unless theyre playing music owned by one of their members...and correct me if im wrong but i doubt any of the record labels which put out the kinds of music DI is playing
