The launch of the NG Radio!

[MaestroRage]

Hey guys, i've spent lyk all of todeh, and yesterdeh, and teh deh befoe dat to do some research on radio broadcasting software and have launched the NG Radio! Visit my site over at Symphony of Specters to read over the details, but the key highlights for your reading pleasure here are

1: The radio will feature high quality Newgrounds material. You know how the portal is filled with so much... stuff? The radio will feature hand picked and manually downloaded/uploaded songs to ensure a consistently high quality stream.

2: Chat with fellow listeners in the channel at any time. Insult the mothers of many if you'd like.

3: Broadcasting important news concerning the audio portal. The NG podcast for example will have it's own spot.

4: Anybody who wants to do a live show regarding anything, can do so! I will give them the password, how to set things up, and off they go to do their show. Weekly top 5 maybe, whatever!

5: If the radio gets big enough, we can sell ad air time, and generate revenue for the artists who contribute! Though this is really not an expected point, just a possibility.

What you waiting for?! Check out that page and get submittin!

fail at linking

SoS try that :P

Sounds pretty cool... so is this a 24x7 thing? So many podcasts these days... *nostalgia of old core podcast* :P

I hope Radiogrounds doesn't get all emo :D

[MaestroRage]

yeah it is a24/7 thing.

And NG Radio grounds, though an excellent service I think this offers a more interactive approach. It also lets you pick your songs *option not set yet*, so the user controls the radio to their liking if they want. Playlists and all that are also available.

I love you

OMGZ Y3SSS! PIKK ME PIKK MEeee!!! lol

Anyway, i hope it gets more popular, as the AP needs it

[MaestroRage]

yes, the site will also feature a section displaying all the songs that will be played or have been played. I wish there was a way to make each link linkable... it's still a rather new service so i'm hoping in time it will give better results.

[kelwynshade]

Awesome stuff. Looks like I'll sign up as well.

Thanks.

[sorohanro]

nice ideea
do you have music sorted on styles there ?
is there a jazz section also ?
:D

[MaestroRage]

all genres, all sections welcome! Hope you send in your stuff Soro ;D

[BreakingFaces]

Could I get some air time?
I have a lot of songs and some of them are very well recorded.

hmmm...if you try to please everyone, you end up pleasing few. what you could do is set up blocks, hourly blocks of only x type of music or show, maybe you thought of that already

Quite right. The system has a playlist module in place so what i'm thinking perhaps themed days. Techno Tuesday, Metal Monday etc etc. Probably not as corny sounding as those. It's all very much in the beta stages, things are bound to be jumbled around, still we're hoping to get a bit of everybody in there ;D

[Deflektor]

Hey, Maestro !

Just wanted to let you know that i'm with you ! If you ever need help, you know that i'll always do my best to help. You better remember it, 'kay ?

[Dj-Immune]

I'll be glad to donate some of my songs. I wouldn't mind trying out for a minor spot in the Radio Show though. Besides producing music, another dream of mine is to host or be on the radio =)

why not!? Drop by the site and leave a thread Immune! Once things start rolling, I don't see why you shouldn't have your own show. It's damn easy too, all you'd really need, is a good connection, and a mic!

[Gorillazrock]

Hey, i hate to be a buzz kill, but you should really do a search before you post, both on here AND on the Itunes store...

http://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/8826 08

you're welcome to help me out, if you want, since i could use another dj to take the load off sometimes...

[MaestroRage]

if you had read the thread fully sir, you will notice this is a RADIO, not a PODCAST. The two are very different and will operate in very different ways. Of course you are fully welcome to submit your podcast's to the radio.

Sorry to be a buzz kill :)

Was kinda thinking the same thing... except Radiogrounds is more like... everything music, not just NG music. You should be alright ;D

Well, i guess they're kinda different. I'm hoping to basically be a recorded radio broadcast, but i'm kinda glad i'm not live 24/7. You would run out of songs EXTREMELY quickly, as the amount you would be playing would be more than people can submit...

Mine is more of a chance to expose artists that don't have a voice, and possibly create networks. Also, it's mostly a chance to get to know these artists, as i love some of thier work, but i never got to talk to them before.

It was kinda cool to talk to f-777 and nintechno, ya know :P

[MaestroRage]

good for you then, keep at it!

In any case this radio and your podcast have nothing in common other then the fact music is involved, so please go away if you're not interested in contributing.

[sonicxtreme]

that would be the happiest day of my life...if my tracks went in ng radio...

heheh....You could play my stuff for probably 3 days of non-stop playback XD

So...how are new songs added into this? do the artists need to post somewhere on there for permission or is it full reign on the portal?

ps: anything of mine is fair game if you think it'll work :)

quite right! I have no fears of running out of material. In order to get processed go to the SoS front page for details. Essentially you sign up for the site *which automatically gives you access to the forum*, leave a post in the NG Radio forum, and then after a quick visit to your songs to see if it's ace.

A QUICK ANNOUNCEMENT, WE WILL BE REPLACING THE CURRENT RADIO, WITH ONE I'M GOING TO BE PAYING FOR... THIS FREE SERVICE BLOWS

Please keep the stream of submissions coming, when the new service is set up, all the current contributers and data will be transferred!
