Makenshi Radio - SHOUTcast'D!

[jonffm]

Ok, name change because it seems it's going to gear more towards music and less towards sport. Of course WeeBall, as in the show, will continue ;)

The name...it's a name I use on as many sites I am a member of..barring this one. It's japanese and has a meaning totally irrelevant to radio or music (it means demon swordsman, I think :s) but at the end of the day...it sounds cool, and reallly, it's that all that matters? :D

At the moment, the schedules quite small. A show a night is all I can manage because it's just me. If anyone else wants to help, I could always do with more DJ's, so PM or email me if you wanna be a DJ and we'll talk about it.

Kay..so this is the schedule. I'll be running this for a week as a trial. If there's enough interest, i'll keep running it.

Since it's now on SHOUTcast, you can tune in using Winamp! Here's the link, scurvy landlubbers. (I felt the post needed more pirate.)

Sooo, be sure tot une in , because this station runs off INTEREST. No listeners makes me :( and when I :( I don't DJ.

[Boyinabox]

Sounds like a great idea! I'll make sure to tune in tonight!
It would probably work better as a podcast though due to the small schedule.

[jonffm]

Awesome :)

PodCasts...I may look into. The thing is, i've had this software for AGES but never properlly used it. Plus, I dunno if podcasts are the same..do they allow live line-in, so you can actually host a show rather than just play a playlist?

And for tonight, i'll be posting again about 10 minutes before to drum it in, but any early requests are lovely. If I have no requests before the show, i'm obviously just playing any old song. It also gives me warning as to WHAT is going to be requested.

Le Cheers.

I may look into throwing some shows on a podcast.

However, it doesn't seem suitable for live shows, which is going to be quite common, hopefully.

[Thomp]

Thanks for using my name for the show, Jonny, and just give me a PM when you need extra help :)

Will do :D As I said before, there's ALWAYS slots open for anything you can think of. If you want to be a DJ, you can be. If you want to report on sports, you can. If you want to be a bloody weatherman, maybe :p

As for tonight, lets get these requests a-rolling! Anyone who wants anything played, just post it in here.

[Thomp]

¬¬

It stopped buffering at 86% for me... why?

edit: doesn't matter it works now! :D

Request then: Hard Fi- Stars of CCTV

[jonffm]

Yay :D

At the moment, i'm testing so if it goes off suddenly, you know why.

And cheers for the request, keep em coming!

[Thomp]

The problem with this is that it's mainly sports isn't it? It won't appeal to many forumites, so maybe just have the sports two nights a week?

[jonffm]

yeah, I may do.

I'm basically using this week as a test run. I'll be jotting down how many listeners I get for each show, so I know what works and what doesn't.

[RobW]

-FRIDAY-

21:00 =-= TRL - Requests foo'


This sounds sweet, do you have a whole load to select from or just things that you yourself own?

Good one, Johnny :)

[Thomp]

If I ever do a slot, it can be at the weekend or possibly between 7:30 and 8:30 on weeknights

[jonffm]

Good one, Johnny :)

I have a larggee selection of music, and im a member on a FEW paid music sites. If I can play it, I will, basically. I do have like...hundreds of albums, so if it's popular, chances I have it. I also have a HUGE selection of 80's musics :D

Basically, just say what you wanna hear, and i'll try. If I can', i'll play it next time hopefully.

If I ever do a slot, it can be at the weekend or possibly between 7:30 and 8:30 on weeknights


Sounds great :) I'll try and sort slots for anyone who wants them. The more slots, the better!

[RobW]

I will go on then, best of luck with your radio, Nny. Can I call you Nny?

[jonffm]

I'd rather you didn't :p :D

Requests now have their own thread, so pop in there :)

[Boyinabox]

Is there anyway of adding your station to a favourites list or anything? It's a bit annoying having to keep going to the download link.

[jonffm]

On Destiny, just go to Radio -> Information -> Sports. It will be one of the only ones there :p

[jonffm]

Kay, thanks to everyone that tuned into TRL. Went alright for the mostpart. Sorry for the 5 minute breakage, won't happen again :p

EDIT: Tommorows show wont be on this week as I have lottsa stuff to do before college starts again. It may never be up again, because i;m not sure if it's doable.

[MONKEY050]

I've run a web radio show for my town and I use Windows Media Encoder to do it.

I suggest using No-IP.com to mask your IP for it. Then get the DUC program and it will automatically update the service to your latest IP coz it's on a modem. I use it for mine.

Also, technically, you can't call it FM radio, because it's Web Radio, so, if you could, maybe name it WeeBall Webradio or something equivalent? That's just my opinion though, because you're not broadcasting over airwaves. It's up to you.

[Thomp]

Was good while it lasted anyway... it might start up again in the future when we have enough time and better programs :)

I'm aware, but it just sounds better. :p

[jonffm]

UPDATE

Ok, two new shows!

On Sunday, the top 10 chart singles. Nice and simple there.


Tonight though, i'll be going a guess the year hour. Each song that is played, try to guess which year it was released and post it here. Hopefully get alot of folk taking part here and it should be fun :) For each correct answer, you get 5 points! No cheating please. If you feel the need to scam me for points on a bloody message board, that's pretty sad ;)

So yeah. Tonight at 8pm, tune in, post guesses for each songs release year, and win points, you slaaggss.

[Inverse]

If at all possible I'll be listening (:

I was last night.

[jonffm]

Last night there where about 4 lsiteners at a time. Some left, and others joined, but it didn't go over 4 as far as I could see. ABout 7 unique listers though.

Hopefully get a few more tonight :)

[Inverse]

4 listeners is better than 0 listeners.

[jonffm]

Indeed, but 8 listeners is better than 4 listeners :p

Nyes.

[Thomp]

Two nights sound cool Jonny, I'll tune in when I can as I'm trying to fix the sound on my PC at the mo

[jonffm]

[basstard]

[jonffm]

I'm connected! \o/

Noticed :)

Lets get those guesses coming in! You can guess them all in one at the end if you MUST, but posting as it comes is prefered.

[jonffm]

I have been trying to connect but i keep getting 'operation timed out' every time i try. Any ideas why that might be happening?

Odd..

Have you tried going through Destiny?

Radio tab > Information > Sports > WeeBall?

EDIT:

Working linkage.

http://81.159.18.18:80/radiodestiny.rdl

[Oli]

im on :)

[Tommuz]

yeah just saw that after i posted. tried to delete post before people saw my stupidity :p

[Boyinabox]

Stop muttering into your microphone Johnny! We can't hear anything you are saying.

[jonffm]

Stop muttering into your microphone Johnny! We can't hear anything you are saying.

Sorry :p I'm not muttering though! It's the line-in, it doesnt go very loud at full. :s Next song, ill turn the music down a little, so you can all turn your volume up :)

[basstard]

"The Tide Is High..." Dunno when it was released, I only know the All Saints modern version

/me is ashamed

[Boyinabox]

Is it (Tide is High) 1980?

[jonffm]

First winner :p

Keep em coming!

[basstard]

Michael Jackson, Billie Jean - 1989?

edit - I'm gonna have to disconnect for 10 minutes, I've got an audio project that needs to be finished up. Back!

[jonffm]

Sorry, wrong :)

Hint: Lower.

EDIT: And yes, I forgot to turn line-in off, so you may have caught me singing XD

[basstard]

Travis, Sing - 2003.

[Tommuz]

Billie Jean was 1982 wasn't it? on the Thriller album i think.

Sing was 2001, although I could be getting confused with turn as they are the same song...

[jonffm]

Naw, close though on billie jean :)

Correct on Sing though!

[basstard]

Oasis - Don't Look Back In Anger - 1998?

[jonffm]

Sorry, close, but not close enough :)

[Tommuz]

Billie Jean must be 83 then cos it was definately on the Thriller album :p

[jonffm]

Correct, but first guess only :) :p

[Boyinabox]

Oasis - 1994?

[basstard]

Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody was first out in 1975, same year as me big brother was born.

Bang inbetween 1994 and 1998 is 1996?

Edited at 9.45, for the record.

[jonffm]

Close, but no cigar :)

Hint: In between the two guesses (94 and 98)

Ill allow second guesses on this one :)

[jonffm]

Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody was first out in 1975, same year as me big brother was born.

Nice one, 5 points to you, my good man.

[basstard]

Jonny, could you possibly turn the microphone input volume up slightly? I'm finding it hard to hear your voice over the Gorillaz, and'm having to turn the volume up right after each song ends in order to hear you.

edit - sorry, it's the software's fault, not you. My bad.

Soft Cell - Tainted Love and Sting are both [I think] 80s...say possibly early nineties for Tainted Love, I dunno.

Sting - 1982
Soft Cell - 1989? [me <3 this song]

[jonffm]

Both incorrect. The string ones quite abit later, the soft cells quite abit earlier :p

[Tommuz]

Tainted Love 1985?

Back for Good 96?

[basstard]

Both incorrect. The string ones quite abit later, the soft cells quite abit earlier :p

But...Sting's old! :p Therefore his music must be too...

Take That, hmm...all I know is they're early to mid nineties. 1994?

[jonffm]

Sorry, inocoreect :( The sting ones surprising. Since the guesses end after this song, i'll tell ya...1993 the sting one :p He lingered around the 90's, and is unfortunatly STILL lingering. Give it up, man!

Soft cell was 1981 :)

EDIT: Take that guesses are wrong too unfortunatly :( twas in between you both, 1995 :)

[jonffm]

Guessings done for tonight :)

I'll send you all your points now. Well done whoever guessed right, and ill try to sort the mic out. Next time, ill play the music much quieter so it balences out.

Cheers for tuning on though, got a good 5 people, which is enough :)

[basstard]

Is WeeBall, the Forumite show still on for tomorrow, and if so do we send audio files to yourself or AngryPaul?

[jonffm]

Probably not tommorow, it's gunna hopefully be on this week, but the slot will probably chnage to Monday or Tuesday.

And yeah, im sure AP would appriciate you doing something and sending it to him. Needs as many people as it can get :)

[DJandiViper]

<<<< DJ!!! Wants a slot if possible!

I will be in touch!

[jonffm]

Ok, no radio tonight because of reasons the two.

Reason the first, I have college tommorow. Don't wanna be knackered on my first day back, because I wanna get back ASAP to watch the Cricket.

Reason the second, i'm setting up a shoutcast, as shoutcast owns everything. I actually haver it working, but i'm seeing if it will run through my server.

[Thomp]

What does the shoutcast entail? Details would be nice :)

[jonffm]

Meaning? Heh

It'll basically be the same as it is now, just through winamp, as winamps ALOT better, and the software you can get to run a shoutcast is alot better.

[Thomp]

Fair enough, I'll try and get an audio file on some of the cricket done? That alright?

[jonffm]

Yeah, sure. AP's putting that stuff together though..I would ask him :)

[Tommuz]

Can you also pre-record stuff on shoutcast? You could probably set up a few more shows or whatever with various people if that was the case.

[jonffm]

OMFG SHOUTcast'D!!!

..*ahem*

WeeBall FM has changed. It's evolved into the spliffyness that is Makenshi Radio. As well as a much larger penis, the new station boasts SHOUTcastness, so no more messing with other icky media players. Anyone can lsiten to it, even those shits that we call 'outsiders'. Simply click the link in post one, and as long as i'm broadcasting, you can listen in. Lovely!

Tonight, i've changed the slot. No more hot seven at seven tommorow. Tonight will be That Chart Show and will start around 9pm tonight. That's twenty-one hundred hours to you military types (i'm looking at you, kernal >_> or is there another reason he;s always dressed in army gear?*). So, I expect you all to be there in your nicest looking shoes. No trainers please, you chavvy shits.

(I'll begin broadcasting 30 minutes before every show, so you can conenct nice and early, as there are only 10 slots open because at the moment it;s running through my modem. Any more and the sound quality will suffer.)


If all goes well this week, next week i'll be adding more shows. Possibly got a DJ lined up for you (and i've heard his tracks, you won't be dissappointed :) ) and if it seems to be going well, more specialist shows will be added, such as a possible Anime Hour.

*Unfortunatly, probably isn't true :(

[jonffm]

Double-postastic.

Just a last bumpage for tonights show. As said, it's on shoutcast now, so check out the first page.

That Chart Show

Tonight at 9pm, the rundown of the Top 10 UK Singles Chart.


No bimps tonight, should run compleatly smoothly as I worked on all areas I got feedback on and made them much better. So tune in..OR ELSE :)

[Thomp]

Aw... I liked me name though :(

Anyway, don't know if I can attend the Top Ten, I'll try... I want my name there instead of Makenshi :(

[jonffm]

Heh, sorry but it gives too much of a sporty theme, when theres only ginna be like..2 sports shows a week. It's primarily music now :)

[jonffm]

Quick note, it's up now. Half an hour of random songs so you can connect early.

It's on, why aren;t you? ;) :D

[Thomp]

I will be in a minute Jonny, get some cricket songs ready for all us Ashes fans :D

[jonffm]

Hehe, gotta go do stuff for 30 mins so it;s an auto-playlist, and then it's the top 10. Tommorow i'm betting will be flooded with Cricket songs :P

EDIT:

Feedback on anything to do with the station is HIGHLY appriciated.

[Thomp]

I can't hear it, and it's not on mute and the sound is full volume

[jonffm]

I can't hear it, and it's not on mute and the sound is full volume

Sorry, just turned it on, I was testing the soundcard details.

it'll be on now :)

EDIT: Can you hear it alright? Quality fine?

[Bisyss]

I doubt you'll be interested, but if you fancy getting some Mortiis mp3s for us industrial fans, you can register for them Here (http://www.mortiis.com/downloads/), provided you have a good enough reason. I'm sure running a radio station is a good enough reason.

[jonffm]

I'll take a look later :)

Any music to add to the stockpile is good. I'll take tracks from fourm members too. If it's good, it gets played. :)

[Boyinabox]

Can you reccomend some music players that can use this file? The only one I've got is iTunes and that keeps losing the stream every few seconds. :(

[jonffm]

Seems to be alot more stable now :)

[jonffm]

Come on folks, 5 minutes to go and one person connected :P

gets yours arses ons theres pleases.

:)'s.

EDIT: Appologies to Jessica simpson...she may or may not be dim. >_>

[Dingbat]

Knew I should've made my own pissing thread. I've been running a ShoutCast show for months but only ever advertised it on IRC because it's run officially by a gaming company.

Curse you and your independence.

[basstard]

I can't find it...how do you connect to the station using Winamp, please?

[Bisyss]

If you're looking for more music, I suggest looking around WebJay (http://webjay.org). It's a website that lets you make playlists by linking to mp3s. I've managed to find some good songs through it.

[Piedude-KT]

I've opened it up using Winamp and it doesn't seem to be working. I've selected "play URL" and copy and pasted the link in, but nothing seems to be happening. Unless the Champions League thing isn't on tonight.

[Thomp]

Is it on Destiny Playere anymore???

Things seemed to have died down... is Jonny ok?

[jonffm]

I'm still alive, just too busy for it right now :P I have barely enough time for it, but after 8 hours at college and 4 hours in a kitchen, I don't really feel like broadcasting to one or two listeners :p

And nope, it's on shoutcast now, when its on.
