sharc- if the station's rebuffering constantly, it's probably
your server. i think once, a year ago or so the stream
bounced to 24k, but other than that i've never had a problem
w/ rebuffering or accessing.
many users don't know this, but all dsl/broadband isn't created equal.
if a server has more than 300 users per hub, which i believe
has something like a 3 mile limitation,
all the old problems w/ dialup, like not being able to access occur.

guys- i'd really float this past BMI and ASCAP,SESAC.
you can't just rent or lease music, (which is in essense,what you'd be doing,
collecting revenue for playing an artist's music.)
i'm fairly certain that they'd see it as you needing
to pay the requested artists royalties.
on the other hand, 10 revolving banners @$25 for 30 days
pays for the current server space.
i'd call it the "introductory rate" in case demand is high.
as a selling point, i suggest you
don't place banners
at the bottom where no one ever looks.
i haven't heard back from PDJ on this, but everyone else i've mentioned a
compilation disk to has responded w/ a (!!) .
..i happen to know someone w/ a decent production facility...
and award-winning to boot!
yesfans just released a fundraiser cd, my bud von's band ONOFFON was on MSJ's
"got prog?" compilation.
everything i'm suggesting is pretty much "tried and true",
not experimenting w/ a winning formula.
