Rating Songs
These rules have been set and enforced since people where just rating songs to boost their count up to get VIP, SVIP or UVIP levels. Please keep them in mind while rating to stay out of trouble.
- It's only possible and allowed to rate a song that has just played on the radio. If you missed it on the now playing, you can rate it in the previous song part or by opening the song info within 30 minutes after the song played. It doesn't matter if you've already heard the song one way or another.
- Rate honestly, give a song some thought and try to use the whole 1 to 10 scale. It is possible to see your statistics on your profile page. For example; just using 5 out of the 10 available levels (e.g. everything between 2 and 6), or rating songs only 1 or 10, is not acceptable.
- Don't rate songs when they've just started playing, or when you didn't get to listen to the most of it. It's unfair to rate a small part of a song, just wait until you hear it again (or request it later) before rating it in such a case.
-
The ChatterBox and Dedications
- Don't spam in the chatterbox and your dedications. Spam is clearly something undefinable, but some examples are:
- Posting multiple times the same line (Dedications can, depending on the content of the dedication, be and exception to this rule).
- Posting gibberish.
- Posting a lot of lines within a short time.
- Posting multiple messages while no one else says something, in this case just wait for someone else before going on.
- AnimeNfo is PG-13 rated. Basically, anything that can be counted as R or above is not allowed. This includes links, language and actions described, as well as for anything else you post in the chatterbox or dedications. Some information on these levels can be found here.
- As implicitly mentioned in the previous rule, but which we want to press some more; pornography chat of any type is not allowed, this can be words as well as images.
- Discriminatory and offending comments of any kind are not tolerated at all. We want to have a kind community. Breaking this rule could result in an immediate suspension or ban, depending on the statement used.
- No spoilers are allowed at any times. It doesn't matter how old the anime, manga, movie or such is. If you're posting a link that could hold spoiling text, say so when posting it, otherwise you are also offending this rule.
- Do not facilitate copyright infringement. We have zero-tolerance for links to such material, or links to sites offering the material. This includes fansub groups, torrent trackers, torrent search engines or search results.
- AnimeNfo Radio is an English site, with an English community. The only language allowed is English.
- The dedication option is only meant for dedications. A reason for why you've requested it might be tolerated, but putting in advertisements, emotions or random other text is not.
- The ChatterBox and Dedications allow the use of BBCode. However, it is not allowed to use BBCode formatting that breaks the layout of the page such as images or large text.
- Using the BBCode URL tag to describe a link is allowed, but the description should be representative and not a cover up to have people click links they shouldn't.
-
Requesting Songs
- Show respect for other members. Give anyone a chance to request songs and be able to listen to them. Not everyone can be around all day, and also the people that are only around for an hour or two can have the desire to request some songs they would like to hear. If you're a regular visitor, and request songs almost every day, try keeping your songs for when the queue needs them.
- Dont request when the queue is already long.
- If you request daily and are here all day, don't pack the queue as soon as you can, everytime you can.
- A good rule of thumb - if queue is under an hour, and adding your rate will not affect that, or not bump it much over an hour, request. This does not mean use all 6 requests and shoot the queue to 1.5 hours. Use your requests sparingly and be considerate of others.
- If you are concerned that you are about to break the rule or aren't sure if its safe to request, email or message a mod. Don't start the discussion in chatterbox.
- Have variety to your requests. Just because you could listen to those songs all day long, doesn't mean everyone can. Don't request the same song(s) (once) every day.
- Don't request songs that are tagged differently, but are from the same artist or series. This is possible due to limitations of the system, but will not be tolerated.
Some examples of this are the different Exit Trance albums, a remix of a song together with the original (or another remix), songs from different anime seasons.
- If you ignore these rules and request multiple songs in a long queue, your requests will be deleted. It is at the discretion of the moderator which songs are deleted, and you will not get those requests back for that time period.
-
Warnings, suspensions, bans and those kind of things
- If a mod gives you any of those, they ought to be right and supply a reason.
- If you really feel the mod wasn't right, do not discuss it in the chatter at all. Ask for that mod, or another mod, his/her email and take the arguments there.
- Sometimes, mods can warn you in the chatter for more minor issues. In those cases, the above two rules are also absolute.
-
Radio Accounts
- It's not allowed to have multiple accounts
- If there is something wrong with your account, don't make another one; but contact Yhn (Yhn (at) AnimeNfo (dot) com) to straighten out your problems.
- If you, for whatever reasons, already have more then one account; contact a mod as soon as possible to have the other account(s) deleted. This way, you can state your reasons why it happened, and decide yourself which account to keep. If we find the double accounts ourselves, we will simply ban or remove all but one of the accounts; and decide based on your history what to do with the last.

When did AnimeNfo Radio start?
We started out with just the radio stream in 2003, and the first version of the AnimeNfo radio site came in 2004.
The current radio version; V2; started online in march 2009.
-
Is the radio legal?
Yes, AnimeNfo is paying to license the songs we air.
-
How do I listen?
Click on "Listen" in the "Radio" menu near the top of the page, and click on the server you want. A window should open asking what program you want to use (we recommend Winamp), choose one and click "OK", and the radio should start playing.
If you still have any questions, http://www.animenfo.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=7532
-
The radio won't play/The radio has stopped playing.
If the radio won't play, or stops playing, the server might be full. Please try another server. If you tried all of them and it still doesn't play, try using Winamp if you aren't already, we find that program works best. If it still doesn't work, we may be having technical difficulties, but will be back up shortly so please be patient until then.
If you're still having problems, http://www.animenfo.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=10578

The radio keeps buffering!
This is usually caused by network congestion. Check to see if someone on your local network is saturating your bandwidth, either by downloading large files, or running P2P applications. If that's not the case, then make sure you're using a server that suits the speed of your internet. You may have to use a lower kbps server.

How do I request?
You must be signed in to request. Click on "Songlist" in the "Radio" menu near the top of the page and search for the song you want. Then click on the "Request" button to request.
-
How often can we request?
You can request 6 songs every 150 minutes. But remember, you don't need to request all six all at once ;).
Besides the 6 songs / 150 minutes, you can request up to a maximum of 18 songs a day.
Also, the same artist can only be requested every 100 minutes, the same album every 120 minutes and the same song can only be requested every 360 minutes. Songs over 10 minutes have a 24 hour delay due to their length.
For songs that are in the top10 a "200% penalty" is applied. This means that the request delay doubles. A normal song in the top10 will have a 720 minute delay, for example.
-
It says I can't request now. Why?
Normal users and VIP can't request songs during the Jpop/Jrock/Anime OST/N blocks. They have to wait until the N/R block to request again. And NO ONE can request during the N blocks. Also, if the requests will go over into another block, no one can request until that block is on.
-
Why can't I rate this song?
It's not always possible to rate songs, there are some different reasons why you can't, those are:
- The song didn't play within the last 30 minutes: We've added this "rule" because people kept rating songs from the Songlist and Recently Played list that they did not listen to in order to boost their ratings (Refer to the first rule in the "Rating" section).
- The song is an ad: We've made ads non-rateable, and non-favable. This is because they aren't real "songs". At a point of time, they will not be visible on the now playing page at all anymore.
-
Why wont you add my song to the Fav Song Block?
There may be a few reasons for this, all put in place to promote more variety and allow more users to have their turn getting their request in.
- Your request wont be added until after 12pm EST Friday or early Saturday if you have had your request added twice in a row. This is to allow more users to get their request in if they haven't had the chance.
- Songs that are 10+ minutes long will not be added to the block. This is to allow more users to get their request into the 2 hour block.
- Songs that are on the '24 hour restriction' list will not be added to the block. They are on that list for a reason, because they are/were excessively overplayed. Let's promote more variety to the Fav Block for everyone to enjoy! If you do request one of these songs, we will simply ask you to choose another song.
-
What are the different VIP levels, and how do I get that status?
Normal User: Simply register to become a normal user.
VIP: You can achieve VIP status by rating 500 songs
SUPER VIP: Rate 2300 songs and have at least 200 songs in your Favorites list.
ULTIMATE VIP: Rate 6000 songs and have at least 200 songs in your Favorites list.
VIP/SVIP/UVIP may also be awarded for users that have contributed to the site, by donating, being active in the forums, helping to add album covers, and helping out in other ways.

I've reached the prerequirements of a VIP level, why ain't I promoted yet?
VIP levels are updated manually. If you've just reached the prerequirements, it's obvious a mod hasn't seen it yet. However, do not start spamming in the chatter about it, or mods might even decide to leave you be like that longer.
Usually you'll get your promotion in a day or two, given that you've kept the rating rules and the like (see the rules section).
If you didn't keep to those rules, you might be delayed for promotion. In this case, you'll also get a warning telling you about it.
-
What do these different ranks actually do?
Normal User: Can rate songs and can request songs during N/R blocks.
VIP: Can add songs to a personal favorites list so you can easily find and request the songs you like the best. You can also share this list with other listeners.
SVIP: Can request songs during the Anime, Jpop and Jrock blocks.
UVIP: Gains access to a special high-bitrate 320kbps server. More features are also in the works.
-
Can I become a VIP/SVIP/UVIP by donating?
Each donation is handled on a case by case basis by the Admin. VIP/SVIP/UVIP status may be awarded based on overall activity on the site. There is no set dollar amount which automatically grants promotion.
-
Hey, could you add this song to the site?
Sure, you'll have to post a request for the song(s) in the forum, http://www.animenfo.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=7530 and we will try to add it as soon as we can.
-
I noticed you don't have an album cover for this song, can I send it to you?
Yup, post it here, http://www.animenfo.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=11776
Just make sure you read the guidelines on how to submit it.
-
I noticed that the artist or track title on a song is wrong, where do I report this?
You can report the song and the correct info here, http://www.animenfo.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=9241
-
I have lyrics to a song, how can I add it to the song info?
Post it in this thread and a mod will add it shortly http://www.animenfo.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=9757

Deleting Songs
The song database has grown quite large over the last few years. In order to continue to bring you the newest and best J-music, we will now be periodically deleting unpopular and lower-rated songs. Keep in mind the "rate fair" rule still applies. Rating a song lower with an intent to have it deleted, or rating it up to prevent deletion, are prohibited and flagrant offenders will be banned.
-
Why should I donate?
AnimeNfo Radio broadcasts a high-quality 192kbps stream, this is much higher than most internet radio stations which typically broadcast at 128kbps. This extra quality does not come cheap though, so every penny you can spare is appreciated! If you like this site, we do need your help to keep it running. The monthly donation goal is set as the cost to run the servers less the money we get from our sponsors, so it may vary from month to month.
-
Is there any way to donate besides Paypal?
Absolutely! Just send an email to doff007@hotmail.com and we will do whatever we can to accommodate you.
