Date: 2008-05-07, Submitted By: Doff Topic: May News!

Hey all cute and cool listeners!
Instead of having random news updates about new happenings, we will now be doing one monthly news post.
In other words, the news from April is posted now in early May, the news for May will be posted in early June, and so on.

Now, for the latest news:
Things have been going great with the radio lately, we are nearing listener records every weekend, and things are generally going smooth. The current peak is 433, which means 433 unique listeners tuned in at the same time!

FAQ: A few new rules and additions so please read it and find out what's new.

Site features: AnimeNfo Radio has affiliated with JaME, which is a nice site posting news about everything relating to Japanese music. They also have biographies about artists, concert schedules and a lot more, so check them out! Don't miss the JaME news box to the right, I like it a lot.

Now, a bit of sad news for the SVIPs: The TV is working ok and all, but after testing it for awhile, I have come to the conclusion that it will be simply impossible to cover the cost of something requiring that much bandwidth. Therefore, the TV will be taken down until further notice. In return though, if there is interest from the SVIPs, I can setup the 320k MP3 server again. However, this time, if you want to have access to it and you know you are going to use it, you need to send me a mail stating your username.

I am NO longer taking mails about Favourite songs, instead, please post your request in the chatterbox when you see any staff online, may it be me or any of the Mods, and we will add it right away.

We have added a new block to the schedule called N/R 7+ which I'm sure some of you have noticed. It is only possible to request songs with a rating of 7 or above during this block.

I believe that should be it for now, if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to post in the forums, chatterbox, or send me an email.

P.S. A little Google ad will be added soon. For those of you who are unable to donate, please click it like mad, that will also help a lot!

Stay Tuned!

I just updated the Fav block list for week 15 & 16. But i still dont have enough songs to play the block for those respective weeks. So please if you still havent sent me a mail about what your NR1 fav song is, please do so asap! Read about how to send the mail a little bit down on this page. More info: http://animenfo.com/radio/favsongblock.php

Hi again!
Another 128k server has been added, i'm sure some of you experieced the old one being full from time to time?
I'm getting a lot of questions asking if they're too late sending an mail about the fav block, absolutely not! If you still haven't sent me a mail, please do so ASAP! I will post it here if i stop taking submissions, so keep them coming.
Now, i'm sure a lot of you have noticed that if you click the album pics, you get redirected to cdJapan. If you are considering to buy CD's or whatever, please do it at cdJapan after clicking the links. AnimeNfo Radio will that way get a few % of what you pay for the goods.
The 320k server for SVIP's were taken down because of lack of interest. We will try putting it up again in a few months to see if the situation has changed then.
About the ongoing poll; I am playing with the thought of putting up an AnimeNfo Radio TV channel streaming Japanese music videos. I have started testing it, and i must say i like what i see. This channel will most likely be up for SVIP's in not too long for a testing period. If all goes well (there are a lot of things to take into consideration) it will be online for everyone. So please vote to give us your opinion about it.
I guess that was about it for now, Cheers!

Hi!
Been a real good radio "week" i'd say. The listener number is steadily increasing, and things are going generally smooth! I just updated the fav song list for week 13-14, so we are covered for three weeks, but still, for those of you who haven't sent me a mail about your NR1 fav song, please do so. (read news post below)
The Fav block has been added on Saturdays as well, so that both EU and US listeners will be able to listen to it. We also modified the schedule on Wednesdays, added a few N/R blocks, please check the schedule for details.
Last, want to extend my thanks to those of you who donate, much appreciated!

Stay Tuned!

I was sitting here thinking, what's the best song i know of right now. My answer is the new Gunslinger OP, KOKIA - Tatta Hitotsu no Omoi. Was between that, and the Spice and wolf OP.

So, wouldnt it be cool if we had a block playing your number one fav song?

Please write me a mail, doff007@hotmail.com, and write:



My fav song is (i.e): KOKIA - Tatta Hitotsu no Omoi

My status is: VIP (Svip)

My Radio nick is: "Doff"

And we will make this reality ASAP!

Stay Tuned!

Alright! Here it goes.

Poll: Seems like our main "force" of listeners are located in the west, mainly Europe, and the US/Canada, would honetly have thought that we had a bit more from Asia, i know that we have, but i guess they're not visiting the site :(

Europe - 173 vote(s)
Asia - 22 vote(s)
Africa - 2 vote(s)
Australia - 5 vote(s)
South America - 11 vote(s)
North America - 111 vote(s)

Donations: Just want to say how much we appreciate it, again, thank you so much! Also, when you donate, please include the your radio nick in the donation, or send me a seperate mail. It may have some affect on your status ~_^

Problems: The issues we had with the radio a few weeks ago, was caused by a new bugged version of the radio broadcasting software, which was down updated again when we noticed what was causing the problems.

Rating: Rate songs while they air on the radio, this is not a request. We have ways to carefully catch cheaters who wants to become VIP ASAP, dont even try. We dont rate for the number, but to be able to make the playlist better. Though, can of course rate after the song has played, but dont go on any rating sprees.

SVIP Block: We are still working on this, please be patient. This is going to become one very nice block! I am now taking applications of when you want your block to run. What i want to know is this: on which day, and time (GMT-5) do you want the block to start, we have not yet decided how long the blocks will run for, its going to be either 2 or 3 hours.
Write it like this (example): Tuesday 10pm.
You NEED to have 200 fav songs or more. Scroll a little bit down the news page to read further details about the SVIP block. Ask in the chatter box, if you have any questions.

Forums: Please sign up to the forums and start posting in the Radio section, we could absolutely need some more activity there!

Spread the word: There are a few things which makes me smile from ear to ear, driving fast, watching a good anime are two of those, seeing a high listener number is also a good thing ^_^ So please spread the word about the radio, and make the listener number get higher!

I guess i'll stop there, i'll keep you all updated if more comes to mind.

Stay tuned, and don't forget to watch some anime from time to time as well, Japanese audio is good, but both is even better, i think......
