New Radio Station: Rock Classics

[Philip]

Topic: New Radio Station



Short explanation (in notes):
- A new radio station with some good ol' rock classics.


Detailed description (why should it become added/...):
A lot of people like rock (including me) so I thought we could add a new radio station playing rock classics, I'm tired of the old rock station where they just scream all the time.

Optional additions:
- Maybe use this station: http://www.internet-radio.com/serve...us1.internet-radio.com:8105/listen.pls&t=.pls
- Removing old and unpopular ones - @Death Howl
- A classical one with violins and shizzle - @Rogue Car Tyres

I know people who would like this.

[Death Howl]

I admit I would love to see this on my radio but not the radio wheel getting cluttered. Yes I would like it in for sure but we are getting to the point where we have alot.

I will support this but removing unpopular or unused channels should be done also.

 

[Jimmy]

Yes please, I find myself having to switch between 80's and Hard Rock to find songs I like, but 80's can be too cheesy and Hard Rock can be too loud and screamy. So much support.

From my understanding all radios need to be html5 based, for example the old radio we had > http://hive365.co.uk/ has lots of options at the top that you can choose from, if you find some good radio's with lots of support options and without forced adverts then I'm sure they could be added.

 

[rogue]

Yes, can we also have a classical station with violins and shizzle

To anyone that possibly wants a radio station added/removed, and this goes for all future ideas regarding this type of thing...

1. We do not record which stations are picked by players, so we have no idea as to which the "unpopular" ones are. We would need to make a poll to ask which player's listen to the most.
2. If you want a station added: find on whatever host it is, a streaming file with a ".pls" extension. Typically you can find this under the "Listen with WinAmp" if it is supported. If it does not have a .pls we can not use it. I will not locate this for you on their site, it is up to you to include.
3. Don't suggest generic stations, like "We need a techno radio station", please give a direct link to a station.
4. We are trying to not overcrowd the number of stations to select from with the radio wheel design so we would need to keep under a certain limit.
5. We do not monitor stations to check if they are currently still active/running. So if one is reliably offline: first check with other players, then if it seems 90% of players agree that it does not work, feel free to suggest removal.

There may be other rules that I'm forgetting at the moment, but please keep those in mind. So for this idea #1, #2, and possibly #4 apply. For now please correct #1 and #2.

I think we have enough stations, and i do not think they should be removed. The current ones are pretty good, and there's alot of different ones.

There is already one Rock channel, the only channel i would like there to be is a Old School Rap channel lol.
But yeah, there is already one channel for Rock so, its not really needed.​

Let me give you a slap back and say that there is already a hip hop/rap channel. There are different types of rock just like in hip hop/rap. There is a huge difference between Led Zeppelin and Slipknot just like there is a huge difference between Eazy-E and Eminem. Next time maybe inform yourself and don't answer so ignorant?

I myself do not like the Hard Rock channel. It just has to much of that new softcore metal. I want some of the old classics like AC/DC, Jimi Hendrix and so on.

Edited, changed to a winamp station @StephenPuffs hteven:

 

[Krzeszny]

Sorry for being honest but I think that most radio stations we have are garbage and I personally don't like any of them.

We (probably) need at least these:
Radio Rogent Classical:
http://yp.shoutcast.com/sbin/tunein-station.pls?id=97420
GotRadio - Piano Perfect
http://yp.shoutcast.com/sbin/tunein-station.pls?id=477623
Real Country:
http://www.181.fm/winamp.pls?station=181-realcountry&file=181-realcountry.pls
Current Jazz:
http://listen.jazzradio.com/public3/currentjazz.pls
Classical Guitar:
http://www.181.fm/winamp.pls?station=181-classicalguitar&file=181-classicalguitar.pls
The Rock! (Hard Rock):
http://www.181.fm/winamp.pls?station=181-hardrock&file=181-hardrock.pls

Also, please replace the current smooth jazz radio with this:
The Breeze:
http://www.181.fm/winamp.pls?station=181-breeze&file=181-breeze.pls

I you desperately need the Smooth Jazz radio, at least please replace it with Smooth Uptempo:
http://listen.jazzradio.com/public3/smoothuptempo.pls

Optional:
Gypsy Jazz:
http://listen.jazzradio.com/public3/gypsyjazz.pls
La X Estereo - 100% Pura Salsa: (because why not salsa?)

+Support Classic rock is my favorite genre of music and I would love to see this.

 

[MidoTheCigar]

We need to add Elvis and real blues legends like jhonny cash and ofc some swing jazz
