Radio

I have a logitech 5.1 surround sound system, it works good with like WMP or any Desktop music player, but with like pandora, yahoo music etc. it only puts sound through the two main speakers and sub, how do i get full surround using internet radio programs?

I don’t believe any of them send a surround signal and even if they did it wouldn’t be the best quality compared to an in-home source like a DVD or CD. Internet radio has come a long way but I don’t think they’ve made it to that level yet.

I don’t want to use something like live365, shoutcast, or anything else. I want to create a professional internet radio website. Do I need a web hosting, and what software do I need?

Yes. You will need a hosting.

I like the music I hear out at big clubs that has been remixed slightly with some techno. I’m looking for a radio station that’s free on the internet playing whats current.

BPM on XM is petty good but I’m looking for stuff that’s a bit more mainstream.

Try Pandora!

I’ve got about 13 Gigs of Music and a Mic. I’ve wanted to start an Internet Radio station for ages, but I don’t know how to go about it. And I don’t know if it would cost money or not.

Thanks.

Please let me know when you find out.

Here are a few things I found at cursory glance.

I am trying to find German music. I want to experience something new, and besides I studied German language in college; I liked it. I went through German/Austrian internet radio stations and surprisingly – there are basically no (modern) songs in German!!! You must listen half an hour to music in English until you finally get to hear something in German, and that’s on the so called German radio stations! I hope I didn’t find the right ones, otherwise I could only feel sad for such situation.

that’s pretty much how it is in europe – songs are mostly in english and movies are mostly translations of american films. i suggest going to youtube and just looking up german music

I remember last year, I came upon a website that streamed different people’s playlists so that people could hear the songs that they had on it… a little confusing…

in other words, it was an internet radio that let me choose a song i wanted to hear.

try last.fm info here—-http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Last.fm

I’m thinking of starting an internet radio station; just a personal one and I won’t making money with it. I’ve searched and all I see are laws on profit-making stations and non-profit organizations, still run by some company/school. If an individual like me were to do it, is there any royalty payment needed?

Yes Most Definitely You Would.

I would like to present on an internet radio for experience as I wish to be a radio presenter for a future career.

I’m 14 at the moment, does anyone know any internet stations that recruit young presenters and let you present from home?

Why don’t you setup your own Internet radio talk show or something
best thing to do is arrange it with your school’s music department I’m sure they’ll help, in regards to internet stations hiring you to present from home – No! doesn’t exist I’m afraid, there may be illegal or unregistered or private ones that do, but that’s through IRC clients etc…

Either set it up on your own (Which will be great on your CV) , or wait until you’re sixteen to look for an apprenticeship with a station such as Kiss, or something

Employment regulations just wont allow you to be a presenter at fourteen for main stations too**

I was wondering how I would set up a school internet radio station(In Principal) or a home internet radio station. Do I need any license for it?

Hi, a few links to help you out and a video.. looks quite easy to set up and in the UK you do need on. The last link has for the license.
