Went to website and clicked listen live, installed the APP for listen 2 my radio but it says loading radio but doesn’t connect to the stream? Notice says I have the app installed already when checking again.

Like the website. Let us know when you are on and I can try to listen.

Welcome back!

I love all those radio dramas and Zoomer radio runs 2 of them every night and CHML Hamilton Ont. runs them from 10 till one oclock each night. But it’s hard to listen there as they cut their power at night and it gets mixed with all the other stations trying to come in on top of it. CHML also runs the original commercials that ran with them…[Read more]

Ha, not bad.

I don’t know how that would work with me. The audio from the computer goes via 3.5 mil. audio cable to a small tube headphone pre-amp with bass and treble for some tone control with Play it(which I am now using instead of Zara) that uses the computer sound card, and then via 3.5 to 2 RCA cable to the compressor and RCA cable from that to the…[Read more]

The only reason I have a separate computer for broadcasting is I can’t use the “regular” one as it would keep getting interrupted by the updates restarting, etc and I  have it on the table  where I sit and the other one is on a shelf where the other broadcast stuff is. I’d have wires strung across the room. Really, one computer for broadcasting i…[Read more]

Problem is no new guitar players/bands emerge to take the place of the older ones.

And the ones that do are as the article says are obscure. All music now if it is popular is not played with real instruments but synthesized….even country is not real country anymore and it too is becoming more synthesized. Like pop. And Hip Hop/Rap is what’s…[Read more]

Welcome back

I have 2 computers. One is my regular one for everything except the broadcast source. I have AVG pay version that protects against everything and it tells me when it found and zapped something. Firefox lets me know if a web site is suspect.

On this computer I have my playlist back up and also on a separate solid state drive that’s put away and on…[Read more]

@Billybu, I have been with worldline with DSL service for 3 years now in Canada and the price of Can. funds $39.95 a month for unlimited internet, home phone with NO long distance charges at all can’t be beat by anyone and have not had any problems, it works great. I don’t have TV in that package just because I have TV free from my landlord.
When…[Read more]

That site is crazy! Most people have an Email with Google, Yahoo, AOL, etc and they are eliminating most people from joining the forum. They want to have an exclusive club. My provider, Worldline, doesn’t even provide a IPS provided email!

That forum is like trying to join a gym and being denied because the owner doesn’t like your address where…[Read more]

Play it update…

Liking this a lot. Working fine and seems to be a good replacement for Zara. Silence detector is great and songs and jingles move along with no gaps. Keeps a log and it’s easy to go back and see what played yesterday at 2:03 for example. I don’t know how far back the log keeps but I will contact support to find out.

Been…[Read more]

The AM will stay on the air just to keep the FM one there….yes! It doesn’t matter if few people are listening to the AM as the FM side of things will cover the cost and more.

Way back when FM was new and AM ruled FM served the “niche market” with alternative programming like jazz, classical, Album/progressive rock, etc, and all FM stations then…[Read more]

I’m out of breath after that long read!
I agree with Michelle Bradley who also speaks from knowledge that even the AM band will not be mandated to go digital like TV till the arctic glaciers melt. Part 15 isn’t going anywhere.
A very good point that owners retire but what about the many stations AM and FM that a big corporation owns and they shut…[Read more]

@ thelegacy,

I’m new to this myself and it has only been working for a day and a half. I am only using this automated. Your playlist  displays on the right upper section and what was played displays on the main window. Times and dates and days. The song, title and any other info like from what album, from what I have seen will display if info is…[Read more]

Solved my problem. The page was not displaying fully and zoomed out a bit and saw the OK and apply boxes. I could change the screen resolution also.

I’m really liking play it and it seems better than Zara in detecting silence so tracks play gapless and the silence at the beginning and end of tracks is eliminated and with the 1 or 2 second overlap…[Read more]

A good post. Found interesting about the part about these imported(Chinese) transmitters that operate OK at first but after awhile start to get more dirty and cause interference to aviation etc, as Thelegacy found out.

Like the part about the cracking down on the uncertified imported transmitters but I don’t think he looks on amazon! It should…[Read more]

Based on my communication with industry Canada and being read the riot act and shown in writing in the rules, any transmitter can’t be used here unless it is in the Industry Canada radio equipment certification look up section. I even gave an example….the Talking House transmitter, with FCC certification, no license needed, and operating the…[Read more]
