From a listeners viewpoint:
I request seldom, what "pay-pal" type entity could bother with pitling accounts of 10 cents or so for a month of requests to bill me for it.
When I click on a Sound stream, I get it, I don't understand the Moons listeners limit when I've never been limited.
I have no problem with Ad banners on the site, there is an abundonce of empty module space at the bottom of the Homepage and frankly I seldom slide down there anyway,
Just no Audio advertisment!!! Print ads are a part of America from stadiums to urinal billboards,Big deal, I don't think artistic Banners of Proggy products lessens the site or its vision.
If you what more listeners Who therefor will love your product so much they wiil want to subscribe and send you money) these are my thoughts:
Bill requests if you must but show when they will appear, I don't request because I'm usually not around by the time it comes up an hour later. I have always wished that the COMING UP NEXT list was longer, this list keeps me here sometimes when I was going elsewhere.
Now this one will be hard for Dr. D and Jim to swallow as it goes directly against their intent
Play better music and get more listeners
As the Moon has strived to have the most complete libraries of Prog artists on the planet, it fails to recognize why some bands sell millions of CD's and some only thousands and most of us Prog. Historians never heard of. There are times I turn away from the stream because although nice, many of the lesserknowns just are not as talented. No, I don't want to see just the dino's, just abetter balance with the giants weighted for more airplay than the smaller bands. As an owner of thousands of recordings and a record dealer in the 80's, I am suprised when 6 bands are listed and none well known. Not a selling point for more listening.
Finally, For more money you need more listeners, Years ago 32 was a common number in the currant listeners listing, you have grown but you need more to increase revenues, as with TV and Commercial radio, Listeners= revenue, good programing=Listeners, average programming = nobody home.........We all lose
