Not trying to be a negative nancy, but what is it these days with these sites streaming DJs?

Myself, and i doubt many others want to watch people in a room mix, and just care about whats getting played. Is it just as easy to do this approach (hence why they would do it), or would it take a greater amount of work than say just an internet radio show?

Soundpond is a little different, when they stream from events etc, thats totally different.

personally i like the fact that you can interact with the dj's in the chat-rooms. someone might come online and they'll give a shout out etc.

it's just a new dimension to radio. admittedly i'll still walk away from the computer and listen as i do with normal radio, but if i hear something i like i can get in the chatroom and ask "what's this" and the dj will typically answer straight away...it's just a bit more interactive

I dont remember

Its mega easy to do and its great fun to get everyone together and have a mix up. We had 110 listeners on our first night which was great. As I am sure you aware Nic its real hard in this town to be able to play the tunes you want. Since we have very little radio support its a great way to reach people on the cheap in much the same way soundpond does.
Its really the pirate radio of 2011.
Nothing will beat radio though as everyone has at least one, so you have a bigger auidence.

Nic Borrelli Registered User	Nice perspective, which i didnt really think about. So true about playing the music you enjoy, as were probably in the worst city in the country for that. Keep it up, will tune in next time if possible and stir you up in the live chat haha

Kings Sister Registered User	Been listening to this while I do my excel work. Some nice tunes so far! I doubt I'd remember to actually tune in on a Tuesday but I'll listen to the ones you post afterwards. The timer is a bit strange. Does it refresh back to zero every time a new DJ starts??? The vid/music keeps stopping and resetting to the start, anyone else had that issue?

spark1 I dont remember	Yeah its perrty basic to setup and we can run it from where ever we want from a laptop. There has been talk of doing a pool party one as well. But we will need some better weather for that. And if any of you want to join in all welcome. Its not really a competitor for soundpond and it may just work out that we start providing content to them anyway.

Soundpond is a little different, when they stream from events etc, thats totally different.

To my knowledge, there aren't many sites in aus streaming DJ's. A lot of guys (these included) use ustream from time to time to put up a little feature show, some studio work, etc. Of course, they should consider the T.O.S of ustream about copyright, and the whole APRA licencing thing...but if theirs own content then its all gravy!

As fun as it is, previous version of uStream crashed and burned exactly because people abused them. Although, the big guns tend only to get involved if you're broadcasting something with big revenue, like oh, the world cup. Then again, if its people streaming their own produced content, then wild!

Cheers re the events comment. A lot of hard work goes into teeing up and doing the live events, and it really keeps it refreshing. We think the buzz helps on the ground events, with Soundpond crew coming down to check out where we're casting from. Usually you find by the time the streams up and running its just icing on the cake! But, it does help those who can't make it. All positives.

That's not entirely true, I've heard house on rotation more often on Triple J and nova lately, Juddo and Elliot Ness put on a great weekly radio show for a long time now. A lot of guys in other genres put the effort in to get their shows syndicated around the nation, no shortage of community, country, and major stations that will syndicate a show...but I'm not sure if any Adelaide guys bother. Like everything, you get out of it what you put in. Investing time into ventures that don't have financial gain is the way to build a close community, I believe. Good to see the guys here on the ground giving that a shot. Also, see my comment below about offering people a show on our station, though its not radio, the same thing applies.

We don't view housemusictv as a competitor, in fact the first thing I did when I heard about this is ring Juddo and ask if he recorded shows, and offered to syndicate them during our 12-hours per day "offfline" (we're soon going 24/7).

Nearly all the names on the housemusictv lineup have been offered regular shows more than once on Soundpond, and nearly all have declined as they lead busy lives, and didnt think they could commit to a proper regular timeslot. I wish juddo the very best, but in my experience House guys in Adelaide struggle to commit to new things at the moment, especially given some of them are blowing up in a huge way, they spend all their time going between the day job and the studio! This is one of the reasons I'd say there isn't that many *radio* shows also.

It's my understanding its a few core guys, with regular rotating guest. Power to em, if they can keep it going more than a month, get comfy with the tech, and start recording shows I'll syndicate them in an instant. HousemusicTV also isn't a "Station". They don't have a range of genres, they don't tap into as many people, they don't do as many event's as we do, they don't have full time staff as we do, and they don't have a music licence. It'd be a very brave move if they were registered as a business. Theres no competition from that side of things, even though we do run the station with a "not for profit" mentality, so wouldn't really care if there was.

Ultimately, Soundpond.net did not invent sharing music. We didn't even invent online streaming, not even close. We didn't even invent the idea of exposing underground sounds. That whole ethos is older than I am. I'm just doing the same old dance, with new tech! I'm not against other people trying simliar things, it's bound to happen at some point. I'm all for people getting their sound out there, it's what keeps Soundpond.net going. its why it started.

Anyway...you know what they say, the sincerest form of flattery is imitation.
