BoostFM Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 So here goes...Basicly Boost.FM is an EDM net station and we stream 24/7. The music usually played is House, Trance, Breaks, Minimal, Techno, Hardcore and other Electronica. We use Shoutcast and also have our own flash players, and currently on our BoostFM.TV website you can tune in via the PS3 to the station (we also put in a visualiser so that it doesnt cause too much burn in for those who listen for extended periods of time). We hope in the next month to also have our video stream working as well to all OS's so DJS can broadcast a video feed of them mixing if they want.We have 45 DJs in our line up but only a handfull of them are from Australia... the rest are based in UK and the USA. We run off shoutcast so all you need is to install EDCast (PC) or Nicecast (MAC) to stream to the server... We offer a 128 & 56kb stream to listeners, so your connection only needs to be capable of upload speeds of around 130kbps (13Kbs). Which shouldnt be too hard if you have ADSL1 or better.You can play using your decks like all our DJS to and just hook up a lineout from your mixer to the linein on your computer and your home and sorted.Our site is setup so that everything you see is in your local timezone, so if your for say in Brisbane and you set your profiles timezone to GMT+10 then the whole site will show you everything in your localtime.. from listener graphs, and live set performance stats to your bookings and what not.If you ar e keen to jump on board and play on Boost.FM then shoot me a message... go check out the site, Boost.fm and tune in see if we are right for you or not. We have a Become A DJ App on the site for those who are keen...Some tech info: When you book your slot on the server you can book anywhere from 1 hour to 5 hours of airtime, the server will log the listener counts for you and give you a purdy graph so you can see how you fared with the listeners. We also have an automated feature for recording and setting mixes available for download, which is available at the push of a button once you use our Broadcaster area... the server will record the mix to mp3 and tag it to your DJ profile. You can then set if you want it to be included in re-runs, available for download, or just hidden for the time being. Boosters (our members) can comment & vote on the mixes only once they have downloaded them or if they are playing live on air. Our charts are based soley off the listener count averages for a mix and only when a stale mate occours for a position does user votes come into play.
