I was close to deleting this thread when I saw it, but I will let it stay if you answer my question.

How and where did you licence your online radio and how much does it cost you. We have a shoutcast server for us to use right now, but aren't because of the worry of being caught by the music industry. If the cost of licencing it was bearable, we might consider using it again.

Anyway, your website looks fun, but you should have asked before advertising.

The License Costs Per Song / Per Listener

Yeah, I thought it would be setup that way, but you still didn't answer my question:


How and where did you licence your online radio and how much does it cost you?

You need to get a license from 2 place: http://ppluk.com and http://www.mcps-prs-alliance.co.uk/Pages/default.aspx

Going through MCPS I found this:

So I assume that licensing would cost us £120 per anum right? Why would we then need to get licensing from another place?

EDIT: BTW, this isn't some kind of interrogation xD. We're just asking you because it's something we've been looking into for a while and it would be nice to get information from somebody who has actually done it before :).

Cheers for the info Max. As Phantom said, I didn't mean it to sound like an interrogation!

I listened to your radio for a bit and it sounded good. I will look at the site some more later.

Might be a good idea as a replacement for our dead radio imo. Done by professionals too ;D Not just Chaz repeating his name progressively quieter ;D

[Isphera]

Excuse me. I did do the radio too VH :D

I do know Oric, I just remember Chaz's awesomeness oozing from the speaker
