Seeburg 1K Audio Stream Update

The IP number for the *real* Seeburg 1000 stream (not what passes as "Radio Coast" these days) appears to have changed recently. Now it can now be heard on http://50.23.115.122:8204/ .

It seems like they do that every year around this time.

It also sounds like they (at long last) have fixed the grounding loop, since it doesn't have that ever-present loud humming noise in the background. Nice. I think they're processing it differently, too, because it definitely has some "ballsy" dynamics (a very well-defined low end.) That subtle rhythmic "thumping" or "bumping" noise is also gone, so it appears they must have also fixed that faulty idler in the turntable.
 
I see they've also increased their server capacity from the previous 128 connections to 1000.

w00t!
 
At the risk of demonstrating the spackle from the neck up and layers of lycra from the neck down generation, is this as in 3 plays for a dime Seeburg? Good heavens, we sat in a booth in a diner and made song lyrics about Seeburg, to the tune of Big Girls Don't Cry.
 
Same company, but a different product.

It's my understanding that during the '60s, Rowe (another jukebox company that was a major competitor to Seeburg "back in the day") also had a background music service they called "Customusic", which was based on 16 RPM records that were of the same dimensions as those used by (and thus, playable on) the S1K equipment. Only they had deeper-cut grooves, which gave them a wider frequency response at the cost of playback time. (The Seeburg discs tend to have a rather flat frequency response by comparison.)
 
We didn't care. Heck, we hit the fountain or the diner, depending on whether it was after school with our little friends walking, or with our parents, and the music was fine coming out of that itty bitty metal box with the glass front and pages and pages of music...and not just Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons, although we wonder today how Sherry would have gotten a weather report in to us from that box, reporting from the casinos.
 
Been on http://50.7.96.210:8204/ for maybe 2-3 years now. With Winamp/Shoutcast being dumped a few years back, I doubt it'll be changing as often as it was. Unless someting catastrophic happens like his ISP goes out and his IP number changes, then maybe. Probably depends if he's static or dynamic.

I don't believe the Shoutcast directory exists any more, or does it? Really wish he'd register a DNS entry for the stream, to at the very least, make it easier to remember.

Heh, I may or may not have contributed about a score of hours to that figure in recent months. Gotta love wget(1).
