Yes it would be great to hear a mixture of the songs.
There must be thousands here I have never heard. Cheers.

Peter, I think this is the best idea I have heard yet for presenting our songs in an additional format. I am not as net savvy as many others on this forum, so I will defer. There seems to be several ideas already presented that are worth pursuing. I believe you have just raised the level of excitement here and we will all be anticipating the next step. Please keep us informed with the progress and we certainly all appreciate what you have done and continue to do for us. Tom

In principle this seems a good idea as long as it does not turn into a competition, like top 10's etc

I'll probably just go with the flow tho

Hi Peter, yes, I like the idea, so as far as permission to use the songs, I'm game. There is an internet radio station named IMradio, that uses that concept, in fact I have contributed to it with quite a few songs, (haven't done it in awhile though)and it seems that one of the benefits is that exposes the talents in this forum that write songs and perform in live gigs to a lot of promoters and people looking for new musicians out there. I know of a few whom have gotten contracts this way.

Hey everyone,

I'm Chase, I'm an employee at PG Music and will be taking over a lot of the heavy lifting for getting this project up and running. I'm seeing a lot of good ideas for platforms and will be checking them all out, as well as doing some more searching of my own. If anybody else has ideas for platforms, features, anything of the kind, feel free to post them here, I'll be taking all suggestions into account!

No suggestions, just a comment: You have some huge shoes to fill! But, you already knew that.

We users imagine PG Music and Dr Gannon, in particular, to be the ideal, most stimulating work environment anywhere and both sure to keep you at the top of your game.

Keep your stick on the ice and a hardy "Welcome" from Oklahoma (a Southern Province), eh?

Peter, Chase,
I'm glad this post rolled back to the first page of the User Forum. I think you're onto another great innovation and aspect of the PGMusic world.
I only have a little time to participate in the forum between work, family, and my own music mischief, so I'd really appreciate a way to hear more of the forum posts more easily. I know I miss a lot of great music.
The forum folks seem to have all the technical and internet smarts to help make this work out. Count me in.

Hi Chase,

I've researched this quite extensively for the small record label that I have a hand in running.

The best/most traditional way might be using SHOUTCast/IceCast. PGMusic would likely go through a SHOUTCast/IceCast host. You could host it using your own server and bandwidth, but streaming radio uses a lot. The benefit to a station of this kind is that you can listen to it via TuneIn Radio, AOL Radio, Winamp, and various other outlets. Most of these have widely-used Android/iOS apps. You can also create your own Android/iOS app, which many hosts offer as part of their packages.

I hope this helps!

Best,
Mark

At this stage, what we're looking for is the ability for a station to:

#1 - play a set of original songs (composed by the users here). The songs would be sent to us by Users who wanted their songs played on the radio station. So we would manage the station, handling uploads, playlists etc. The users could get the songs removed (by us) from the station if they didn't want them on anymore. We wouldn't be paying anything for playing the songs - this is a "free" radio station with the intent of promoting the songs, composers and PG Music.

#2 - for the songs that play, we want to be able to put a URL, so if someone likes the song, they can click on the URL to find out more about it. Ideally we'd be able to put a few URL's in there, so there'd be a link to the pgmusic forum thread about the song, (that might have lyric) and maybe another direct link to the composer's site.

- so far we have found lots of stations that do #1, but none that do #2 (ie none of them provide ablity to display text info including a clickable URL link).

Does anyone know of a station format that can do #1 ** and #2 ***. If so, please reply here.

We're also looking for a consultant to hire to help us with this. For example, lots of the stations mention that they have an API, and its cusotomizable, which is great. But I'd like to hire someone to help with this, rather than try to learn all this from scratch. Ideal skills would be progamming the station, and/or familiarity with the different off-the-shelf solutions available, and the rules/legalities of streaming in general. If you know of where we could hire a consultant, please let us know in this thread.


Have Fun!

Hi Don, That sounds cool, I expect then that songs you contribute to the radio from OK should qualify as Canadian Content, thus keeping the CRTC in Canada happy!

Lol, Peter!

My parents were Canucks (Muncton, NB) so I'm a hybrid (aka mongrel; retread). I visited BC countless times while living in Seattle (actually Marysville) and on one occasion, a family in Port Coquitlum (sp?) opened their home to us, a family of 6, for a 4-day convention in Vancouver while they were away on vacation. The people, in general, are absolutely wonderful and the beer is excellent. I still have several cousins in Ontario and New Brunswick.

I've found music to have an intrinsic ability to cross all national borders. Perhaps, one day, I will have the honor and sincere privilege of meeting you in person.

Definitely, my music sales would have a devastating affect on the Balance Of Trade! ,

Peter,

It sounds like a great, if ambitious, idea. One has to wonder when the man responsible for one of the most remarkable feats of imagination in the history of CS is asking us for advice about how to go about it. But things do move rapidly in this area and I wish I could be of help. Unfortunately, you won't get it from this tired old brain, but I think there are so many savvy folks on the Forums that it won't take long to get the directions you need.

As one of the few jazz players on the Forum I think that different categories should include jazz with rock. I fear that very few would listen to jazz a la BIAB if it were alone in its own category.

Great idea, though. If someone is going to pull it off, you'd be the one.
