Internet Radio Suggestions
<div class="IPBDescription">Another music topic</div> Will all of these topics flying around I figured I'd point people towards a wonderful music station and maybe get some nice suggestions in return.
It's a 2 to 3 hour mix done weekly by some amazing DJ's. Plays a mix of all kinds of music, often stuff you may not have heard of but all very cool. Here is the read up for this weeks mix.
<!--QuoteBegin--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->25.03.05 Solid Steel Radio Show
This week (21st to 28th) Strictly kicks off with a slew of uptempo promos and some choice snippets of the Mighty Boosh. We hear tracks from LCD Soundsystem, Vincent and Max Sedgley, before jumping on the effects box for the end of the Brazillian Girls track. The Soulsavers are our guests this week with a fine mix. Plenty of funk action and more from the likes of Can, Silver Apples and The Emperor Machine.<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
The show is played all over the world too by other stations so you may well have heard it before.
Anyway, <a href='http://www.ninjatune.net/solidsteel/' target='_blank'>here</a> is the link, it's not everyones cup of tea but if you think you've got an eclectic taste in music then try it out.
Now, if people could do me the same favour and suggest their favourite stations, preferably nothing that involves registering (this doesn't).
Thanks <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

There was a time when I was a DigitallyImported (DI) listener like some of the above posters, but now I don't like them. More than not liking the music, I don't like them as a station or business.
It started when I found out about ETS global. I liked ETS because for as long as I've known about it [read: ever since Tag's Trance Trip went down and fans like Flayra & I had to look for other options], they've offered bittorrent downloads of many weekly shows. In a few months I'd gathered up <i>multiple DVDs</i> worth of mp3s from world-famous DJs. Even now that they've merged with ETN.fm, they've <i>still</i> offered bittorrent downloads of many of their shows.
So what does this have to do with me not liking DI? Well, DI "stole" away one of the best weekly trance shows there ever was, the one by <a href='http://www.arminvanbuuren.com/16' target='_blank'>Armin van Buuren</a>, by signing an exclusive deal with <a href='http://www.theradiodepartment.com/' target='_blank'>The Radio Department</a>, a group that handles several shows like van Buuren's.
Suddenly a show that's been going on weekly, for free, for two or three years went exclusive to one 'net radio channel. Now you can only listen to it on DI, a site that offers no full downloads and forces you to pay money for their better-quality streams. To make things worse, sites like ETS and ETN are no longer even permitted to host downloads of the weekly shows, not even at poor quality.
Now I see the <a href='http://www.etn.fm' target='_blank'>ETN.fm</a> is having technical issues, the and <a href='http://www.ets-global.org' target='_blank'>ETS-global</a> site isn't responding (not a surprise, since they merged some time ago and may be on the same server). I hope DI doesn't stay such an evil-looking monopoly <!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/mad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
[edit]Gah! Here's a deal I sure hope isn't so exclusive: now I'm reading that DI's also partnered up with Markus Schulz' <a href='http://www.globaldjbroadcast.com/' target='_blank'>Global DJ Broadcast</a>. The GDJB was another show that could be downloaded on ETS/ETN because they had a great relationship with the South Florida radio station Party 93.1 (took advantage of SoFla's many good nightclubs), and 93.1 traded shows frequently with ETS/ETN. Then ClearChannelCommunications changed South Florida's 94.9 Zeta, the area's biggest/only rock station, from rock to latin music. Party 93.1's parent company saw the opening and changed 93.1 to rock...you can see why Schulz had to look for other options <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
[edit2]Heh, all the above makes it look like I know <i>waaay</i> too much about the global trance music scene <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

That's the login for DJs. The site might not be up to date, so your best bet is to visit the IRC channel - #nsradio on GameSurge.
