Hey nighthawk,

The network radio station is actually functional, but has a possible legal problem. Without an actual streaming media server, people listening can download the songs and store them on their computer. This could cause some copyright problems, and streaming servers start at about $50 per month.

As a solution, I'm working on adding a mp3 submission area, where member bands can submit up to 4 songs to be put into network radio rotation. Since the songs are submitted by the artists themselves, (with knowledge that the songs can be downloaded and stored), the copyright issue would be solved.

The mp3 submission area should be done within the next few weeks. Sound good?
... and then the wheel fell off.
