Well, not really...

I'm running a personal server for experimenting on...Current project is music streaming. If you're interested in listening, tune-in at:

http://stahnaileron.dyndns.org:52000

Current list of playing songs is here:

http://stahnaileron.dyndns.org/playlist.htm

If you want to make a request for playback, browse here:

ftp://stahnaileron.dyndns.org:55500

Yes, I'm aware my tracks aren't name, for the most part...I'll tag songs as they get added.

Things to keep in mind:

1) This is my personal server at home, so no guarantees on up-time/availability, for whatever reason, be it "shit happens" or my own motives. (I'm using this sucker for a lot, you know...)

2) I'll be keeping the playlist at MAX maybe like 40-50 songs, or less, on repeated shuffle. Enough songs to go a while without repeats, but not so much as to not hear the songs you may want often enough. (I'm aiming for about a 2 hour cycle.)

3) Max listeners (at this current time) is set for 32 connections.

4) This is a PERSONAL project for myself first, a service to fellow Anime Lovers second. It's a learning experience for me.

5) Regarding the FTP: DO NOT ASK FOR DOWNLOAD privileges. I will not trade/distro the actual files. I'd rather you go out and buy the CD's to support the industry.

Ee~to...I think that's it. Let's see how this fairs in the wilds of Sankaku...

Hmm...Maybe if this is popular, Artefact may institute something similar to the site proper...? ^_~

Spiffy. The stream quality's pretty good. Got an automated way to make requests? How bout letting people upload tracks? Just had a thought that if someone could make a music version of the Channel... =o

What if people could influence the playlist as well by voting for the next track? Something like MTV2's Control Freak?

I'm not sure if you run the risk of tangling with record companies with this kind of project....

I'd consider that, but since it's my personal server, it would seem like I'm trying to collect music for free...I purchase most of my own music (for whatever my moral qualms are worth), save for exceptionally rare CD's I just can't find anymore or have yet to come across.

It's a good suggestion, and I think I could pull it off, sorta...But unless I can figure out a way to automate the deletion of files from the player (among other concerns regarding fan-uploaded music, like the rotation schedule), I don't think it would work out well unless I'm supervising it directly.

As for the stream qual...Yeah...I figure if I'm gonna do this, I might as well do something with it to make it worthwhile, and sound qual was the first thing in my mind...It's stereo@96kbps...Just a notch lower that typical MP3 qual. The upstream bandwidth I have should be able to handle the connection limit I have in place. (96kb*32/8=384kB/sec...I have a 2MB limit...)

That's fine. It's why I posted the link to my FTP server as well. You're welcome to request a song be added to the playlist from the FTP. I have the RSS feed for this thread subscribed, so any requests that pop up here I should see within a reasonable period of time (assuming I'm home to see it.)

I've considered that...I'm pretty sure they won't mind a bit of free publicity on a small scale. It's not like I'm distroing the files themselves. And anyone who knows enough to know how to rip the stream would know how to get better copies of the files elsewhere. Besides, considering the community I'm catering this to, I'm sure a good chunk own copies of the music already. If not, it might entice them to go and get a copy (by what means, however, is another topic...^_^) Heck, some might even get interested in previewing the anime some songs come from.

But still...If I get a cease and desist letter, I'm willing to pull the plug. But much like a fansubber, I'm not gonna stop until the project is done, I get bored of it, or I get that cease and desist letter. ^_~ Or you tell me to stop it, Artefact, seeing as I'm using your site and readership as the proving grounds.

That's a generous ISP you have there.

I used to listen to kawaii-radio.net. If you're looking for ideas you could consider them. My only gripe with that site is that you can only make 1 request per hour.

Have Japanese companies been pulling c&d's over eroge radio? On the American side companies are more concerned with filesharing than broadcasting, I think.

I can get any song I want free, but shearing a song that's good with others now that's the hard part, either allowing uploads or do requests would be something to keep in mind.

There are plenty of Anime stations on shoutcast so its not like you need to do everything..
