Hi all,
I'm looking at ways of bringing the costs of running the site in line with what I get from ad revenues, etc. One obvious thing I am looking at is the 24kbps stream. Before I get rid of this I want to know how many people there are out there who can only listen through this connection.
I can tell that at any given time there are anywhere from 4-12 or so listeners on this channel. What I don't know is if those listeners are all unable to listen on the (somewhat) higher-speed 40k stream.
So, if you are a listener who is able to listen at 24k, but not at 40k, please let me know.
UPDATE 2/15: I am linking the 24k stream button on the front page to this news entry. If you were expecting music, and have been sent to this page instead, please read the item above & let me know if you need the 24k stream. Once you've done that please click this link to listen to the stream -- in a few days I will move the link back to the front page, but for the timebeing, I want to make sure 24k listeners see this message.
thanks,
John

John,
I have a 56K modem and the 24K stream does really well on it. The 40K stream also works but is choppy and in and out if I attempt to browse any other pages while also listening to the music. The connection has to constantly rebuffer.
The 40K does work with a 56K connection though and I could still listen to the music, it would just be a little more aggravating is all. But if the 24K has to go, I will still listen to the 40K and just be grateful that there is a site such as yours that regular modem users can still have access to.
Also, I wish to thank you for making this music available to people. It is something very special and refreshing to be able to be a part of. I have been recording some of the songs that I enjoyed and let my parents listen to a few of them and they both had a fit over the music.
They said that it was the kind of music that they remember older people listening to when they were children. I am 34 yrs. old, my parents are in their 50's and 60's and I recently showed them how to play this station on their computer. They talk about every other song that is played and reminisce about family long gone and good times past that the music helps them remember.
Thank you very much,
Jason
