Radio Free New School/Internet Radio/College Radio

Okay...in my final semester, after having studied there for four years, the New School For Social Research is launching a student radio station. When it begins, it will only be internet accessable, which makes sense seeing in that it would be impossible given the overcrowding of radio signals in lower Manhattan for anyone to hear it anyway.

This also means that YOU can potentially listen to it.

Do any of you ever listen to streaming audio radio stations?

Would you if you could?

I just put together my demo for consideration to be a programmer/have my own show. This is the three-cd set I'm submitting... any thoughts? Would you tune it for this?

Yeah, I'd tune in if I could but I can't so there you go. But um...Thats your demo set? What is that four hours of music? Are they going to listen to all of it or just look at the set list? For a demo you might want to cut it down to one disc. But what do I know. Not much but if you're in a band and the first song on your demo tape doesn't grab the listener song number two doesn't stand a chance of even getting heard.

They actually asked for at least 3 hours. I just went up to just about 4 because I was using cd-rs. It's not a big deal, they'll just flick through them to get a handle on my taste, really. That's what they are trying to get from the people who want to program shows...

They want that much because I think they want to know how someone would react to filling up a 3 hour dj slot.

Are you technically unable to listen to streaming audio? What are you capable of?

These questions go for everyone... if there are options for listening to streaming audio that you are capable but feel are underused (ie, MP3 streams), let me know.

Um, all I've got right now is a Sega DC so I can't do shit. But the car will be paid off soon so I should have a new computer by April or so.
Are they gonna let you talk or is it just straight music?
