what do you think though ?

It's a 700 MHZ running Windows ME snip


It has nothing to do with CPU speed, everything to do with net
connection speed. If you're on dail-up, any web cast is dicey at
best.

this site gets WAY more hits than that moderated heaven site- that
heaven site is too clique-ish, they drive people away from the 8-track
hobby... snip


Bull****. YOU'RE the one who killed this newsgroup, Noodles, with
your psychotic behavior and eBay frauds. 8TH is doing quite nicely,
thanks very much...and we're 100% Charlie Nudo free!

now now Dan- don't get so jealous- I've sold more decks than you've
sold tapes !

besides, it's a freebie, on the house ! snip


Anyone who'd take a freebie from Charlie Nudo is crazy. His stuff's
misaligned, not serviced properly and he's an incompetent attempt at a
technician.

Avoid any name that traces back to a "tripping-to-anything", gun
names, or "dynobot." They're all Charlie Nudo, our resident psychotic
fraudster.

will go through my 8-track deck inventory and tool up a good player to
donate ! snip


"Tool up a player" to Noodles means he must've stuck his dick in it.

Again, avoid ANYTHING from this clown. The archives will show our
bitter experience with this petty criminal.

here's my Ebay feedback if you want to check my past history selling
decks and tapes snip


All bullied feedback and frauds. Don't believe a word of it.

powerseller w/over 1000 feedbacks- and climbing ! snip


Why not tell him about your eBay suspensions and terminations for
fraud and spam?

now to figure out what would be the most reliable deck for your radio
gig... snip


You have no technical knowledge, so why bother, Noodles? 8 track
sucks in a broadcast environment, period. For production purposes,
he'd be better off dubbing off 8 tracks onto CDs for air play.

Click he
http://www.q1520radio.com/listen.html

Then click the "First Time - WQMA Dialup Stream" link.

That link will automatically start the download for the STREAMER
program which you will need to listen. When you come back to the site
later, you can follow the other steps for increased sound quality.

And we'd love to take you up on your offer. Our current player is
consumer grade, and not the best at all. It has a hiss above and
beyond what it's supposed to have, I'm sure. We figured it would get
us started at least but we'd love to start with something better.
We'll mention you plenty, and if you have any current eBay auctions,
we'll probably even mention them.

Here's our address:

WQMA
1820 West Marks Road
Marks, MS 38646

Be sure to include a note (just print out this email if you want) with
the player so we know it's you...

Thanks again for your offer...

Jason

sorry to have to go the "off topic" route, but, aparently, only people who
use the microsoft O.S can listen to your streams. linux users are S.O.O.l.
please talk to your station manager about considering a alternative
streaming source that complies with open internet standards (like
realnetworks realaudio, or streaming mp3, shoutcast, or even ogg vorbis),
which unlike WMA, those cross platform streams & work with all O.S's.
there are a growing number of people ditching windows in favor of linux just
because of the security linux gives.
i would like to listen to your station, however, i wont run windows just to
do it.

i have an 8 track mind

My other computer is your XP box.

Hi,

I have good news! The Streamer software support forum is reporting
that users are having success running the software under Linux with
the assistance of some other programs. I'll point you towards the
support forum he

http://www.streamerp2p.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1197

I don't know from personal experience how well this works. The
Streamer software runs very well on WindowsXP. Our station sounds just
like a CD to me with a broadband connection and mp3PRO installed. I'd
love for you to try it on Linux and let us know.

Hope this helps,

Jason

I'm going to make an effort not to get into any flame wars in this
group. There are obviously a couple groups having a little war here,
and I'm not siding with anyone. I don't even know whos right or wrong
or why you are fueding. We would appreciate donations from everyone
who appreciates 8-tracks.

But I wanted to respond to the above. There is no need for us to dub
8-tracks onto CD's for air play. Our library has over 3,000 digital
CD-quality songs on hard drive, and we play them all. We obviously
have a regular heavier rotation for popular oldies, and a secondary
random rotation that picks from all the rest, but you'll hear gems you
don't hear on other oldies stations on WQMA OldiesRadio 1520. We're
not asking for 8-tracks for a music library or for regular airplay.
"8-Track Thursday" will be a special event. I'm hoping weekly, at
least for a segment. We'll see what it sounds like when we actually do
it.

And we'll be doing the 8-track thing live. Not to celebrate the
broadcast quality (or lack of) of 8-tracks, but rather to play some
good music, and celebrate a very popular format no longer in use (by
most). It's all meant in good fun. The quality of the music might be a
little off - but we're hoping for positive feedback on the programming
anyway. We're probably going to play more than one song from some
tapes. Typical to the way that most people enjoyed 8-tracks at the
time.
