I'd like, at this time, to fill in a few details about the station.
First off, I currently broadcast using an MP3 stream encoded at 192kps. That's a reasonable compromise, I think. To upgrade to a bit rate of 320kps, I would need to upgrade to a more expensive package on Live365. If I ever hit my TLS total for the month, I'll upgrade, but only when I need to. I'm retired and on a fixed income, so I do have to be careful with my finances.
When you tune in, I might be running the station in Auto-DJ mode. If all you hear is one record after another, that's what I'm doing. However, I do have several hours of finished material I can run in Live mode, so I will be doing that as much as I possibly can.
Here are the details on every single record that I play:
1 - It's the original version, with the original mix and edit, if the record has an edit.
2 - It's from my own personal collection. I don't download illegally, and I don't use rips from Youtube videos, either.
3 - If you hear a record you want to have and want to know what compact disc it comes from, you can send me an e-mail at lowtide1966@yahoo.com and I will gladly give you that information. Please keep in mind that many of my records are taken directly from actual 45 RPM singles, so if that's the case, I'll let you know.
And finally, I must give credit where credit is due. The custom liners I use were done by a great guy named Ken Justiss. All of the jingles and backing tracks have been purchased from www.jinglesamplers.com and are properly licensed.
