Late last week, we launched the brand new web site of the new Internet dance radio station we sponsor, iDanceRadio.fm. We love how the site looks (it was designed by BrainSpark Media), and we’re excited to get it up and running.
One of the best features of the site is the listener forums. (You can access them from the tab at the top of the site.) There, you can talk about the music, tell us what you like and don’t like, ask technical questions, and more. Just register for a free account, and get involved. (We’re still working on customizing the look of the forums, so they’ll be evolving a bit over time, but don’t let that stop you from getting involved!)
As our web site says, too, we’ll be launching a new aacPlus format stream soon. aacPlus is an encoding method that will allow us to deliver the same sound quality, with only 35% of the bandwidth. Our current stream runs at 128 kbps, meaning that broadband is a must. While you can listen with an iPhone or BlackBerry (as we explain on our site under the Listen tab), it’s a bit dicey at 128 kbps. The aacPlus stream will operate at just 48 kbps, but still delivering great audio quality, and it’s perfect for our iPhone and BlackBerry listeners. (PC users can use it too; many audio players, including Winamp, are aacPlus compatible.) Stay tuned for details.
