Just found an awesome online station...

John, John, John,

You know my concerns with Chris' music and that he is now taking on his own direction. As for the bickering, that's what keeps people coming to this board because let's face it, most of the posts are pretty boring and doesn't make the site or the dance forum very sticky. If we were FM stations were in the same market - we'd be doing somewhat the same thing.

For the record, everyone that I've had private conversations with on this board I like. That's because I've taken the time to get to know them outside of the forum. And because I know them, I have fun with them here. (the admin on this board - not a fan of though, a little too delete happy)

Speaking of Chris helping others, I know he's helped me, Will and you with things. We're an extended family and we like to have fun. This is our playing ground. And yes, at times there's actually good info shared with the 'non pro's'

Mike,

A couple of people, including people on this board, have asked me why is all this ElectricFM bashing going on here. So, while I understand that most people here do actually get along and may be joking around, others that aren't in on it have a very different view. Just wanted to set the record straight as I see it. No harm, no foul.

You haven't used the internet for 2 years?? I'm sure I've seen your posts recently....but yes, most are too sensitive here :

"As for multiple listings on iTunes. If they are for different bitrates then thats a valid use. If its for the same stream then it's kind of pointless. "

I will agree to disagree..but I think itunes will agree with me that "America's real dance" and "Electric FM" are the same station. The last thing I want to do is to get a Good dance station banned...it would be counterproductive for me. That is why I'm advising Chris today and Everyone else for that matter to pick a name and stick to it........because when the 15 minutes as a "pick" are over, and when the itunes directory finally starts rotating....it will come down to 1 thing..............and that is Programming, and I think it will really affect those who seek a "free ride".

I also want to give props to Will at iparty for ALWAYS keeping it real on the itunes directory. Will -- your station deserves to be at the top from time to time, your station also deserves to be a pick on windows media from time to time and you've always been quietly at the bottom, pushing through year after year. Russ, Mike..come on guys! lets lead by example.

The listing for America's Real Dance - ElectricFM on iTunes lists the genre as R&B, Jazz, Neo-Soul : music that will never ever be played on ElectricFM. The stream is Electric FM. Maybe iTunes made a mistake

JP and nick -- It's not two different bit rates and if he changed one overnight, he should have used the same station name for both (then it would have been more credible), not two totally different names. It's possible that it was a mistake but I have a good feeling it was done on purpose and with a very good point behind it (which I won't get into), any of the internet radio guys can tell us why. As a former perpetrator,
I am formally apologizing to everyone for that, I am working to make it right. I can't take all the credit but a rotating windows media tuner came out of it and I think that it's worked out for the better for everyone.
