* These Services may encounter technical glitches beyond Racing Radio's Control
** The 24 hour service is music only for around 12 hours and 12 hours will be with human interaction.

Listening now

I suggest putting a link to the station itself on the main page as it took me a minute to find it, otherwise it's all good.

might be a plan

OR if i made the middle section out of an IFrame i could then have the station at the non-existant bottom section...then you have the station on from the top...

I thoroughly enjoy this.

I'm bowled over by this...can i just take this time to THANK YOU ALL !

Unquie Users = 236

Peak Listeners = 35

Average listening time = 1.14 hours

noobish question:

hi, i'm used to listen local sounds (music) with winamp and all it's in-plugs like ape; obvious mp3; or Aud (command & conquer), i'd like to use vlc for various internet-radio streams but your stream only plays with winamp and the problem with playlist interuption/distortion.
So can someone tell me how to utilize the vlc for that singular purpose?

Thx regards

ps: interresting dialect, sounds quite funny when used to "political correct" tv-news-reader pronunciation

Glasgow dialect or Scottish dialect

and there is only distortion because my winamp decides to die every now and again...anyway..we are running 96kbps sterio...(wrong spelling)

and it will only run with winamp if winamp is your default player...it will run on any other mediaplayer that allows you to input information into it...like windows media and vlc...which is all explained on the website..

I also noticed that VLC denies to play the stream. VLC reads the name of the stream and can even display the name of the currently playing song, but it won't actually play the stream.
It works nicely in WMP 9 though. Don't know what's wrong there...

But I actually understand you quite well.

Oh, and about the number of peak listeners: This number is propably limited by the server's bandwidth. During peak times the stream is really boggled down. But in general it works well.

anyone here utilizing the hunt and collector instinct on internet radios?
me sometimes finds himself wanting the sound that was played, but finds it very uncomfortable to re-record the sound, there has to be some stream-ripper...
<<< goes googling...

http://streamripper.sourceforge.net/

thats a good one and easy to use (works with winamp or as standalone .exe)

well our server doesnt like people ripping our stream

but if you do...we dont know anything

thx for the answers

rippin a stream for private purpose (means if you keep it for you)
is still fully legal, even if somebody up's stuff from your radio
your not the one who gets problems its the uploader

even if the musicindustry wants to make you believe everything is illegaly
there is still much you can do with the law on your side

All i know is that their my hosting company and that im not going to cross them

Can i make a request?

How about some decent music! I crashed twice when Jay-Z then Girls Aloud came on...now look at the average age of lfs racers...we are not 13!

Seriously though, just wack in the Best of Air Guitar album so that the cheesy loves songs and teen pop is less of a burden on our ears

...why do people want more when their getting it for free??

the server on lfs, Racing Radio HQ (500servers.com)
the shoutcast server (z-hostings)
the main server (racing-radio.co.uk)

and the most important thing

A LEGAL MUSIC COLLECTION

all cost ALOT of money...on average im spending £100 A WEEK ON THIS FRICKIN' stuff........

if you want i'll shut down the whole thing...the servers, the music collection, everything...and for what...because you dont like...how many..3 most of the songs that the radio plays...please mate...how many radio stations do you know that play ALL the songs you like on it ALL the time???

none....


i'm sorry to the rest of you who have to read this....but enough is enough...i have had 50+ emails saying they dont like 1 or 2 out of the 520+ songs that are playing on this station...if you dont like the song...dont listen to the song...

*rant over*
