Live365

[Robert Bass]

Matt,

Live365 offers two versions of their Pro package. One version includes all royalty fees, while the other does not.

Gee - broadcasting using LoudCity seems like such a breeze compared to all of this.

Radionomy covers royalties worldwide for all 80,000+ tracks in their database. Also here is some info on the 64kbps AAC+ Radionomy offers for stations getting 130 listening hours per day. From the Radionomy Board " 64 Kbps platform for radio channels with a minimum of 130 hours/day.

The connection to your radio channel will not change. The url listen.radionomy.com/nameofyourradio works like usual with an automatic detection of the mobile applications that redirects you to your 64 Kbps AAC flux (if your radio channel as eligible).

If you want to use the 128 Kbps you must use the listen128.radionomy.com/nameofyourradio url. On the contrary, if you want to use the 64 Kbps (or give a low bandwidth link on your website) you must use the listen64.radionomy.com/nameofyourradio url. If you use the listen64 url while your radio is not eligible, the listeners will be redirected to your 128 Kbps flux. "

Wait a minute, does this mean you can't broadcast in "Live" mode, and that you are restricted to the number of songs in their database?

I've been pleased with Live365. You can get pretty fast growth. For the price and ease, I'd highly recommend it.

Live365 does not offer AAC.

Sadly, Live365 is behind the times in this area (Which is why many people don't turn to them for music)

If they don't change this, they'll soon be reduced to just being good competition for BlogTalk Radio

I hate to say it but it's true.....

Cheers & 73 ;D

Radionomy mentioned above does not support HE-AAC either... You must encode to their proprietary ice cast setup in mp3.

I really wonder how important AC streaming really is. Most players are compatible with mp3 but there are popular players that don't support AAC streaming (iTunes comes to mind unless it's been updated).

Except for bandwidth savings I don't see much of today's generation appreciating anything of audiophile quality so is this really a consideration?

Just like with radio, it's all about content. If Live365 supplies content that listeners want I don't see them having much of a problem. Of course when I used them it was a curse to see people leave their connections open in spite of the "are you there?" requests for confirmation.

iTunes has supported AAC+ since version 10. Actually 9 did but it was buggy but V10x did quite well and it up to 11x now. iPhone,Blackberry, Android all support AAC+ unless you buy a cheap Droid like a Straight Talk Hawii I think it is or some off the wall brand. I've delt with lots of Samsung phones and they all supported it but the ZTE Merit (AT&T Go phone and Straight Talk) did not seem to support it.

The Roku which can receive Live365, Shoutcast, and TuneIn does not support AAC+ in the earlier version and I don't know if this has changed or not.

I think Unlimited Data will be back because so many customers demand it and places like Elizabeth City, NC requires Cellular Internet because the DSL and cable are very sorry (especially upload speeds) and I've received better speeds with 4G and tethering with PDAnet.

I have 2 players that support AAC and AAC+

VLC and screamer player (www.screamer-radio.com) -- Probably one of the nicest players I have!!

What about those broadcasters who use Live365 to stream a talk radio station? What impact, if any, do royalties have on them?

No impact whatsoever, so long as the broadcaster does not use any copyright material.

Thanks for the response.
