Glad to see you have kept this group going Harold. I have enjoyed
the conversation as of late.

I think what Live 365 is doing is really cool and shows a lot of
class. This will go a long way in promoting Internet radio. I
started my station about 2 years ago using the Shoutcast network,
and they have never once done a thing to help promote anything but
their own cause and WinAmp products. What would you expect from a
company who is owned by AOL/TIME WARNER?

Anyway, for the beginner Live 365 is a good way to go and they even
pay the royalties for you. The only reason I ended up not using them
is because of the limited bandwidth to broadcast at, only 56Kbps at
the time, and the fact that they insert their on Live365 commercials.

In my humble opinion, this little promotion of theirs should help
internet radio as a whole and I wish other players would do the same
and help draw attention to internet radio by focusing on those who
work very hard to bring programming to the internet as well.
Thanks,
Steve
