It is subject to being cut off from you if you don't upgrade to VIP membership.
This sad situation is thanks to legislation passed by the old Republican congress requiring very high royalties be paid by online broadcasters. On the bright side, every time you hear a song on my station, the songwriter gets a little money for it. I think the record companies take most of the money, though.
However, many radio stations on LIVE365 are "Pro." They pay for your ability to hear the music by paying a much higher broadcasting fee. They never get cut off.
So, listen to my station whenever you're allowed and always enjoy the Pro stations without paying for the upgrade, even with the award-worthy Live365 Player for Mac.
Here's what another DJ, Generation 80s RetroRadio, wrote about the messages your player gives you after your free trial expires:
"DON'T BE FOOLED! If you do a trial run with Live365 Radio Desktop and don't choose to go VIP after the trial expires, even though the player gives you a message that you can't listen anymore[, YOU CAN!]"
Only stations like mine become unavailable, but Pro broadcasters are always available. I'm a hobbiest. I like it when people come by and listen to my music.
Consider my station if you dig variety. Make it a regular stop if you hate how other stations don't make their song's volume levels even. I always process my selections through a sound editor before uploading.
I employ the brutally honest "playback yawn test." If a song makes me yawn, it's gone. It works amazingly well. Generally, musical "interestingness" is universal from person to person despite varying taste in music.
The art of writing a song is something I find amazing. I've never written a song that could be played on my own station. Luckily, other people have...
Uploading 17 songs today. I have identified 7 of them as particularly groovy, one is an Allmusic Guide (amg) track pick and one is a "Driver Classic", a familiar favorite i have given sort of a "hall of fame" status here in my broadcast booth.
The amg pick is: Musiq Soulchild "Sobeautiful" (2008). The "Driver Classic" is Joe T. Vanelli's remix of "Where Is My Man?" by Eartha Kitt (2000). The groovers I uploaded today are "Axé Axé"by Daniela Mercury (Brazilian Rio Carnaval pop, year 2000), A Brazilian (or so i think it's Brazilian) Jazz groover by Aziza Mustafah Zadeh, a Jazz take on a song called "Black Orpheus", a song by some band called Kleerup with Titiyo called "Longing" (2008), Another great Rai tune not from Algeria, but from Morocco, "Ne Me Jugez Pas" by Sawt al-Atlas (from Putumayo: Arabic Groove, 2001), "Rachmaninoff / Prelude in G# Minor Op. 32, #12" by Jackson Berkey from a 1978 record called "Sunken Cathedral"
