should we keep the 24/7 radio or abandon? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's something that you don't always listen to, but comes in handy when you want to hear XLNT XLTONIK MUSACK so that's one vote for it to stay 24/7 |
||||||||

|
two votes, I agree with Mr Vlari, its been nice when I want to hear random music |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, why not? it can be useful when you're stuck in college and don't have any music to listen to. |
||||||||
|

why not could be bandwidth stealer + 2 average listeners |
||||||||
|

Well, it depends, is it just one person's playlist on 24/7, REGARDLESS of how many tracks they've got, or is it more people. I'd say have other people playing, but not do the big thing of "Oooh, on Friday it's new member Mamsoid playing.. oh, no, no the connection's buffering, forget about it". Just play, and if someone else wants to play and you're in the mood let them, and if anyone gives a shit they can make a thread about it. |

But I'd say have it, play the classic sets and that, howmuch bandwidth are you set to lose? You've got to speculate to accumulate. Get listeners, get revenue.. expand, Xltronic empire... umm.. you know. |
||||||||

definately keep it, every minute was absolutely great hell yeah 24/autechre/7 |
||||||||

i'm with dolch_bag |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
keep it, one day ill put tracks unknown to you all |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i like the sets recently, so more of that, more live stuff by members, makes it more personal and diverse in a way... well it could, anyway! dog_belch is on the right track here, get some of the classic sets in rotation etc., it'll all be swell. keep the radio pulsating! |
||||||||

I don't even listen to it when autechre plays. You could get more listeners if you played something good like this on it: That shit would be so tight with some evil front line assembly lyrics instead. |

could you not get a pay as you go bandwidth plan? |
||||||||
|

i think you should keep it. |

i think it should be kept for special occasions personally. keeps it special. unless there could be regular hosted shows but that surely would be really high maintanence with bandwith and finding/keeping hosts/dj's & maintaining a listener base. its a great idea and i do support it but if its just an automated list of tracks i think most people will just choose from their own music collection, no? |
||||||||

well, call me an idiot, but what are the costs of keeping the 24/7? are there any benefits? one thing seems sure: there's only a small audience actually listening (like 5 on average? perhaps less). if the costs are close to 0 with these amounts of listeners, why not keep it. there are some people happy with it. personally, i agree with i_x_ten. i'd rather listen to my own collection and save the xlt radio for special occasions. |

i agree with dog_belch's point on not making big deal about people hosting the radio. when it comes to members hosting the radio, it should say who's hosting and such, but that should be it. could work nicely i think. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think with such a small number of listeners there isnt that much point in keeping it on 24/7, I think a few hours a day would suffice, and more xlt members mixes or playlists would be good too |
||||||||
|

i agree. i also agree with dannn_'s post. |
||||||||

I listen to it quite often.. |

Well, that's settled. Tridenti pays for keeping the 24/7 on-air. He'll also deliver the music. And best of all, he'll be one of the few listeners. Houston, I think we have a self-maintaining half-closed system here. Perhaps we should declare Tridenti to be Zilty's first micro-economy. Can I be your financial consultant? |

You need to do a recruitment drive. WHY NOT DO, right, a monthly competition, a draw, where each person donating in that month gets entered into a monthly PRIZE DRAW and you can give away some old bloody records, dust gathering promos, Autechre's email address, etc |

I'd say drop the 24/7 playing, just occasionally. Members taking control of the radio more often would be cool + I'd like to hear the older radioshows on repeat. |
||||||||
|

|
|
Why not make this question the next poll? |
||||||||
|
|

I concur. Maybe a weekly members show would be a good idea, though i'm guessing this is quite problematic for phobiazero to manage otherwise I guess he'd have done it sooner. Still, i'd much rather listen to a nice weekly xlt members mix than a constant 24/7 playlist stream and I assume it'd work out cheaper too. |
