All the info you could ever want is here! http://www.questionablewiki.com/index.php/QC_radio
Request a timeslot, I'm planning to try and get a good show going between 7 and 12pm GMT on tuesdays and thursdays, which is probably the best time for me to organize it properly. If you'd like to broadcast at a different time/day just let me know and we'll work it out.
-
I was about to say last.fm but that sounds very cool, if I can work it out I am up for it :)
-
How exactly does this work? Do we just pick songs for that period, or do we have to jabber in between.
-
http://neoteric.homelinux.net:8000/
All you need to do is click on listen to listen to my musics, it opens in winamp.
It's really easy Praeserpium Machinarum, just download the shoutcast dj thingy and have a look.
You can talk if you want, we may or may not pity you for doing so.
-
And we pick all the songs we want to play in that time period each week/day?
-
Just make a playlist for like 30 mins, an hour, you can do it as a one off or have a regular slot.
-
Your link doesn't work since the server is down.
I have downloaded it but I don't how to set it up. I suppose I need some details about the server or something.
-
I'd so want a regular weekly slot, I think. This is the kind of thing that gives me an orgasm - forcing my own music tastes on other people ;-) I'd probably do theme weeks as well.
-
Oh I suppose I could do a Danish week or something :)
-
I'm in. I dont know about a regular slot but I'm in.
-
Hooray, we'll organise the times in GMT +1 (from now on reffered to as GMT as I'm in GMT with daylight savings) since that's what I'm currently in and screw all your other timezones.
We could start it either tuesday or thursday evening, either is good for me but I don't know how much time you guys would need to prepare. It'd be best if it was late evening GMT, around 8pm to 11pm to get a slightly larger audience.
We need to work out timeslots so just tell me whatever's good for you (ie. what times you can do and what times you'd like to do).
To connect to the server:
Open the plugin by going into your winamp preferences and going to Plugins > DSP/Effect and selecting the shoutcast thingy.
Go to Output 1 and put 81.109.119.246 as the ip and port 8000. The password is 16fluidoz . Encoder should be on 1 (mp3, 24kbps). Then just click connect and you're broadcasting!
Make sure no-one else is broadcasting first though or terrible things might happen. Terrible things.
-
9 pm will probably suit me fine. I figure I could do an hour exclusively of Danish music or something.
-
This is the kind of thing that gives me an orgasm - forcing my own music tastes on other people.
Favorite lyricists?
9. Eminem (again, I mean it)
Due to the nature of this board, I wasn't planning on including any rap or hip-hop in my playlists.
-
Aww, come on. I likes me a little Eminem now and again.
-
I bagsy 10:30 to 11:00, maybe only on one night?
I will end the show with NIGHTMARISH THINGSSSSSS.
Or possibly I will set themes for each week and treat you to an incredible selection of interesting and unusual music from my vast archives.
Whichever suits.
-
How do we listen to this?
-
Hooray, Khar!
And just click http://neoteric.homelinux.net:8000/
It should say listen, click that and it will open the station in winamp, whenever it's running of course.
-
The server is still down for some reason.
-
Prae, if you connect to it, it will be up. My server is running and everything it's just that no-one is broadcasting.
-
I prae, test broadcast time!
Is there any easier way of adding your own talking to the stream than recording mp3 interludes to go between the tracks as you play 'em on winamp?
-
If you stick your mic into your pc and select sound card from the input tab I imagine it will let you talk to people live :O
Edit: Yeah, that does work.
Edit: Woah, I have hella accent.
-
Hmm.. not a bad idea..
If I had the time, i'd definately help!
-
This is a great idea. I'd like to participate if I were told step by step how to set it up. I'm not great with these kinds of things, heh.
-
Aye I could use that too, I have downloaded it and all but I simply cannot get it to work. the readme file says I need all kinds of stuff - passwords, ip addresses and more. I am confused.
-
After installing the plugin go to winamp and open preferences (ctrl + p)
Plugins > DSP/Effect and selecting the shoutcast thingy. Go to the Output 1 tab and put 81.109.119.246 as the ip and port 8000. The password is 16fluidoz . Encoder should be on 1. Then just click connect and you're broadcasting! Play whatever playlist you've prepared and you have an interweb radio show.
-
Now it works! Thanks. About the timeline - does it mean that I have an hour at my disposal?
-
You can have half an hour if you want but at the moment you have an hour slot.
-
An hour is fine, I just wanted to know how much time I had.
-
praesarpium machinerum, would you mind moving your slot to half hour earlier?
-
So how are we going to do this if everyone is in a different time zone?
-
What timezones are you guys in?
I already I said: I don't care.
http://www.timezoneconverter.com/
-
22:36:19 Sunday August 27, 2006 in Asia/Tel_Aviv converts to
19:36:19 Sunday August 27, 2006 in GMT
I want to do a slot, but I'm starting school in a week so I dont know how much free time I'll have.
Damn you, highschool!
-
You could do around 6:30 to 7 or whenever, we seems to have a lot of broadcasters.
And feel free to connect to the server and test stuff out whenever you want (cept when there's a show). If I don't want you on there I'll just block the ports :P
-
If there are any time slots still open I would love to do something. I am -5hrs GMT.
-
Due to the nature of this board, I wasn't planning on including any rap or hip-hop in my playlists.
why not?
i enjoy a lot of hip-hop and rap.
Because the rap and hip-hop I listen to is usually either Public Enemy or just stupidly mainstream.
-
Throw some Public Enemy in there then. Public Enemy are pretty amazing.
-
I'll take that remaining Tuesday slot if I can get this program to work.
-
oh fun, i hijacked your internets.
and yes i would like to host for a little if thats possible.
-
praesarpium machinerum, would you mind moving your slot to half hour earlier?
No, not at all :)
If needed, I can cut to an half hour if there is too many broadcasters and not enough time.
-
If there are any time slots still open I would love to do something. I am -5hrs GMT.
So it would be best if you had a later slot?
I should be able to do 7pm - 7:30pm tomorrow.
I think we might have to give everyone a half hour slot to fit everyone in, I don't think the people with hour slots would mind.
-
I'm doing a test broadcast right now to make sure I can get this working. I already have my 30 minutes for Tuesday queued up.
-
Right, it's working. Now does it just play the track that's highlighting continuously, or until you choose a different track? Because I paused the song I was listening to and it didn't appear to stop on the broadcast.
Okay, it's the latter. Okay, I'm all set then.
-
Would it be alright if I bumped everyone up 1/2 an hour? It's hard to make a playlist that's only 30 minutes.
-
Ohhh, you mean just moving as forward, rather than lengthening our shows.
These times were GMT, right?
-
I can provide:
a) A dedicated shoutcast server
b) the QC wiki to put some proper shit together on
-
Hooray! Could you get the shoutcast server running tonight? Cos that's kinda when the first show is.
sc_serv.conf file contents: http://pastebin.com/778625
Also it would be awesome if someone could make a table to put the timeslots in, I suck at wiki code.
-
OOOooo me me me. I want to do it. "Pick me teacher Im ever so smart" (gotta love The Simpsons).
Tonight I can do the 11-12 timeslot but normally would prefer an earlier one. :) I suppose I could do regular random slots since there will be some nights were college/drinking/sport takes up too much of my time.
-
P.S. How do I set it up if I do get the slot?
-
After installing the plugin go to winamp and open preferences (ctrl + p) Plugins > DSP/Effect and selecting the shoutcast thingy. Go to the Output 1 tab and put 81.109.119.246 as the ip and port 8000. The password is 16fluidoz . Encoder should be on 1. Then just click connect and you're broadcasting! Play whatever playlist you've prepared and you have an interweb radio show.
The IP will be changing soon, hopefully.
-
This is so awesome.
Can you put a link to whereever it'll be broadcast in your first post?
also, yey for GMT. :)
-
How come it doesn't show the song you are currently playing when you broadcast? I am even sure if I am broadcasting because it lists a different song.
-
Looks like I might just have to play mp3s and no talking...
-
I'm out of this untill I know how many classes I'll have at school :(
Although, I think I can do one on the 2.9
-
Yeah, last night didn't happen since I only got home at about 2am...
-
So let me get this straight: we have an half hour slot each and the times are in GMT. Am I the only thinking we should divide people between today and thursday so we can get an hour each?
-
Yeah, last night didn't happen since I only got home at about 2am...
...it's not happening until tonight.
-
Some people have 1 hour slots, some have 30 mins, that's a good idea though. It's bit hard organising it cos I need to know what times everyone can do.
If any broadcasters are listening and the radio goes dead could you fill in with something random please? Thanks.
-
QC RADIO IS GO!
Next up is Dynamite Kid at 8 followed by
FreshJive (hopefully) at 8:30 then comes
Praeserpium Machinarum for a while hour at 9 until
E.spaceman takes over at 10 and then hands it on to
KharBevNor at 10:30 who could be followed by
Tokuma at 11pm!
-
Looks like I might just have to play mp3s and no talking...
If it is just a matter of needing software then there is a program that I use called SAM Broadcaster. It works with Shoutcast and would let you talk.
-
I'd love to get a slot in all this as well, but I'm scared that I've posted too late. If, however, this is gonna be an ongoing thing I'd enjoy having a slot once or twice a week or something along those lines.
-
Because I know jack about computers and stuff, I don't really know if I can actually broadcast(my brother says I can't) but we'll see.
If someone is listening around 9 pm GMT, could you tell me how it goes?
-
Well, shit, I missed my slot. Sorry everyone, should've set an alarm or something.
-

I'ts working!
-
How's the sound quality? I chose the lowest encoding because I was unsure about it. Winamp is also acting up for some reason.
-
it seems ok
-
I give up. Winamp is disconnecting me all the time and crashes etc.
Well, at least it was worth a try.
-
server is down
DAAAAAAAN!!!
-
We're on British Summertime right?
-
yes
-
Anyone tell me if I'm coming through nice and clear?
-
yeah, sounds great khar!
-
it does, i am rather disappointed it was down during most of my spot though.
-
Khar you have a sexy voice. (at least I think it's you with the sol invictus'ing)
Also would it be ok if I had a go after takuma?
-
Yeah. Because I had no time to do any testing, having just acquired a working microphone, I recorded short Mp3 talking tracks, so it's my voice doing all the introducing. If I hadn't found this microphone an hour ago, I was quite ready to use a speech synthesiser.
-
NOTE SELF: Aquire all sol invicticus music. For it is dark-rad.
-
Sorry I missed your slots guys, I went to see a concert and the godamn kapo bouncer would'nt let me in. Godamnit.
Anyway, I plan on doing one on Friday around 4 pm GMT, is that ok with everyone?
Also, post your playlists.

-
Not a problem. Want to try it out now? I'll hop off if you want.
Since last update.
Clap Your Hands Say Yeah - Satan Said Dance
Godspeed You! Black Emperor - The Dead Flag Blues
-
You know what, is anyone using this server during daylight hours? Because I'm basically in working on my computer all day at the moment and I could just broadcast if anyone's cool with that?
-
i guess i missed my broadcast time?
-

1. Dissection - Into Infinite Obscurity
2. Paul Giovanni - Willow's Song

4. Current 93 - Black Flowers Please

-
I'm currently headbangin' to KC Accidental. Tokuma is on the air :)
-
Apocalyptica - Hall of the Mountain King
Oh man, that's like my favorite Savatage song. They better not have fucked it up.
-
I'm in! Uhm. Time slot, I need to figure this out. Tuesday and Wednesday sometime in the evening would be cool, or Tuesday and Thursday during the day.
-
can someone tell me when its my turn to go? cause im retarded and cant get the time conversion right.
-
(http://img167.imageshack.us/img167/3403/awesomewl1.png)
YES
-
Apocalyptica - Hall of the Mountain King
Oh man, that's like my favorite Savatage song. They better not have fucked it up.
Umn, It's originally by Edvard Grieg...
And it is an astounding version. Fucking insane live. So much so that it kinda killed the album version for me. Live they have the crowd clap along, when they build up the speed, and then it just goes insane, and you've got one guy rolling around on the floor with his arm moving the bow so fast its crawling him across the stage, another guy all stood like Abbath from Immortal headbanging like a maniac and thumping his cello spike to start the clapping, another guy standing on top of the fucking drum kit with the spike on a cymbal with his hands like blurs, the other sitting on the oaken throne from which he never moved, which somehow made the whole thing better. Oh, and, like, a hundred random metalheads, rivetheads, and general rockers smashing along to it in the pit. To goddamn classical music. It was beautiful. They really have made their own sound and experience since, essentially, starting off as the first 'String Quartet tribute to...'. Though I must say they still do an orgasmic version of Master of Puppets.
I mean, Beyond Time was probably the first song I ever heard that I could safely describe as beautiful.
-
Yay! Who's playing Dornenreich?
We can easily keep this up, and organised, much more than on these evenings. I think we've proved that, so long as we have a schedule, we do in fact need very little supervision. I'd love a late night show at some point, my sleeping schedule fits with it, and it's the time most of my music collection deserves to be played.
Also, do I see that we can play mpegs? If anyone can suggest a good avi to mpeg converter (most of my stuff, and most of the best of it, is in avi.)
I can potter off some old french surrealist bollocks, a few of my impressive collection of fundamentalist anti-heavy metal documentaries, lighten the mood with some 1950's sex education vids, introduce you to Icelandic cinema, classic horror...the possibilities are endless!
-
Dornenreich was me. Tokuma didn't have much time so I was back at it after a little.
Thanks for the kind words guys.
-
You did a great show! Thanks for playing my tracks!
-
Umn, It's originally by Edvard Grieg...
Well fuck.
-

Are there enough djs to keep it going 24/7? This should be possiblle due to ppl living in different time zones.
-
Who is dj now? This is awesome music!
-
As far as I can tell. Since I left; Dans playlist has been going non-stop. So the odds are pretty good that you're listening to safety dance.
-
Dornenreich - Aus Längst Verhalltem Lied
Fucking props, man.
-
Are there enough djs to keep it going 24/7? This should be possiblle due to ppl living in different time zones.
We'll wait till nihilist sets up the shoutcast server on his server, don't be rapin my bandwidth.
Also, fuck yes, QC Radio! I regret missing the rest of the show to go to a crappy party.
On the up side, I can re-use my playlist since like only tommy was listening to my broadcast.
-
It sounds like Rather Confused has left my playlist on loop, so that's what you're listening to now.
-
I think I'll ban him for now (it auto-reconnects when I kick) and play something else.
Several songs on loop isn't fun.
-
Ok, so I installed the DJ thingy and now I have no fucking idea what to do. Help?
edit: ok I think I got it. Just tell me when can I go on air.
-
Is the same DJing schedule being used today?
-
Well the show's meant to be tuesdays and thursdays, but I guess we should organise something for every night or something.
-
'm more than willing to put together a show for an hour or two a week.
BTW... schedule table is in place.
--Nick
-
Woo! Yay! Etc!
-
can we set this up so us people in the US can broadcast earlier?
-
No one seems to be playing, I've got a program that allows me to broadcast from the mac, so I'm going to set a play list to play for a few hours and then head to bed.
It's going to be mostly classical tonight. Rachmaninov and Prokofeiv.
-
Hey guys, why dont we do a "end of the week" run on Friday?
I can go tommorow.
-
Is it down?
-
can we set this up so us people in the US can broadcast earlier?
Just curious... I thought the current play times started at 19:00 GMT=15:00 EST=3:00 PM.... that's pretty early, no?
--Nick
BTW... anyone mind if I claim an hour on sunday? 23:00-ish GMT?
-
Ok, so I'm on tommorow (1.9.2006) on 14:00 GMT. Is that ok with everyone?
-
How long are you on for, Mis? Because I might take over when you're done.
-
Just finished making the playlist, it's 45:55.
-
What's the last track? Because I'll start up when that finishes.
-
Get ready the minute you'll hear pop-punk (but the good kind!). The song is 2:01.
-
Damnit, empty all day until I want to hop on with a show!
What's this on now, it sounds like the aural equivlent of a pattern test.
-
Hehe it was the aural equivelant, Emilio was accidently logged in.
Anyway, I'm doing a show now bitchz
-
Anychance of doing QC Radio Podcasts?
-
I'm on in 10 minutes guys.
edit:
Dont tell me the server was down the whole time..?
-
Nowt seems to be happening, so if anyone is listening, I will be DJing your asses off 'til sleep oertakes me, as nothing else seems to be happening.
-
I hope I am correct in assuming that the time table is still accurate, I am DJing at the moment. So if I am stepping on someone elses slot just drop me a line.

-
what is gmt time and how do i figure out how to change it to pacific time? whats the time difference?
-
I think that pacific time is -8hrs GMT, meaning if it is midnight GMT time it would be four in the afternoon Pacific time. Its also important to note that in the case of QC radio, GMT is actually GMT +1 so it would be five in the afternoon pacific.
-
so its 4:42 pm here right now. then it would be 1:42 am? or 12:42 ? i dunno i hate timezones.
-
11:42 Actually
-
GAH!! everyone talks about a plug in, but I can find no reference to what plugin I need!!! Help?

I fixed the quiki, sorry, I forgot to add that link.
-
Is it ok if I nab wednesdays from 10:30 to 11:00 pm (GMT)?
I have a really smarmy radio voice I wanna try out. Also some good music.
-
Damn! I'll be working and won't be able to hear that!
I'd like to take some time maybe Sunday since I'll be back in town then. I don't have a mic but I've got some good music on this hear computer. I'll try not to disappoint.
-
I am on now with a nice little playlist, but I will be off for that time.
-
I'm still on friday, 14:00-15:00 GMT.
-
Broadcasting it up now because no one else was using it.
I guess I should make myself a wednesday evening slot.
-
Track names like this are banned from the radio:
06:05:28 Arthur King - GRANDMASTER FLASH FEAT. MOBB DEEP / WHITE LINES (DON'T DON'T DO IT)/QUIET STORM
06:03:10 Arthur King - LIQUID, LIQUID FEAT. THE NOTORIOUS B.I.G. & GRANDMASTER FLASH / CAVERN/NASTY BOY RMX/WHITE LINES (DON'T DON'T DO IT)
06:01:57 Arthur King - MIAMI SOUND MACHINE FEAT. MASE / BAD BOY/FEEL SO GOOD
Srsly.
-
Srsly, you're a dick.
Anyway, I'm broadcasting at this moment. I'm not sure how long I'll be on here, but I'll leave my playlist going once I leave, which means it'll end once Won't Get Fooled Again's done.
-
Name tracks properly and say nice things to me or I'll ban you from the radio!
-
Ah, I do apologise sir; I misinterpreted what you were saying to mean 'songs with names like this - i.e. hip-hop - are banned.'
As far as naming properly, what do you mean? My songs are all tagged thusly:
Artist - Album - Song Title
Sometimes without the album if I don't have it in full.
-
Is the server up? I want to broadcast.
edit: it appears to be down, so I wont be broadcasting. Which is a shame because I have a kick ass playlist.
-
When the server says it's down, that just means no-one is broadcasting. As soon as you start broadcasting, it goes back up.
-
It gave me a "cannot find page" thing, I was pretty sure it was down, crap.
