yes we will have them here also, but little less and we will bring in more djs, but say you wanna listen to some show that played 5 months ago that you really enjoyed, well you will be able to.. or say you missed a show few days ago with this you will be able to listen.

Its all about the experience that were after.

Actually, this will suit me down to the ground, I've never quite got on board with the whole torrent thing anyway

One thought though, do we think it will affect the number of listeners to the DJ that is currently playing? As people may come to the site and listen to old shows rather than the live stream? Then again, I don't know how busy the torrent site is so I don't know what effect it would have really...

Either way, I'm excited about the "new site"!

Can't wait to see what's in store

Keep up the great work boss

Sadly, this means trouble for me too.. I'd love to listen to the sets while driving to work, but since I don't have the possibility of streaming to my car it means no more ah.fm to keep me happy while driving.

On demand should not reflect listeners... its the same as saying users wont tune in cause they can download the show 24hours later. LIVE is live, + this huge community is what makes AH unique.

I think on demand will actually make the service much more appealing. With all these podcasts coming out from each DJ, we see no reason to also offer downloads. We wanna have a central place where you can select the month and see a list of all shows that were aired, then click play and enjoy it.

DJ's have their hardcore fan base, either way they will tune in to the shows. Also on demand will work so 7 days later the sets will be available to listen rather then 24 hours later.

Last but not least, Im still working out the details and the whole concept. But at the end of the day my intention is to make AH.FM more enjoyable experience.

Just a question..I hope you don't mind me asking..but would recording those on demand streams be a "violation"?

I'm just looking for a workaround for those that like to listen to sets away from the computer

as with most everything, depends on your local legislation

on demand streaming is just that, audio streaming. it's not a download, you cannot directly download the set, so transferring a 1-hour set will take exactly one hour. that's the whole thing about on demand streaming. whatever you do on your side with it is really beyond our control. (which of course doesn't mean you're allowed to do it, see first paragraph

)

Tarek · 03-11-2008, 09:57 PM

But I mean..to you guys,would you consider it an "insult" or something if I downloaded your sets for example for private listening?

I respect ah.fm's wishes..if they don't want me to, then on-demand only it is.

what you do at your time

is up to you mate

Tarek · 04-11-2008, 09:08 PM

I just thought it'd be kinda like illegal downloading. If you guys don't put up the choice, then obviously you don't want people to do it..

SciLog1c · 06-11-2008, 09:42 PM

Didn't read whole topic, heh, it'll be time for me to spam dj's pms like that "plx plox where can I download ur amazing set mate"

Especially Lazarus and Ronny K.

and other DJ's, that 4 sure

Whatever it'll be, I trust Dan and AH family, all will be fine

ps
sry 4 my english again ppl

I'll miss the download option for sure.

On demand replay will be good, but I love listening to my fav shows while I'm either driving or working on computers not connected to the Internet. Even though I understand why some people will like the change, the disappearing of the torrents is a bad news for me. This was one of the main reasons that made me register onto this site (apart from the friendly community), since I always thought the download option was a real plus for an Internet Radio.

No more burning to discs and sharing with friends.

I suppose it wouldn't be possible to offer both services i.e. torrents and on demand replays ?

Dan · 07-11-2008, 09:01 AM

hello all, I do understand your frustrations in not being able to download the shows, but for AH.FM to grow and be supported by many other sites torrents had to go.

We wanna make the whole experience more better & professional for DJ's and the community.

Thank you for understanding.

seems to be irrevocable.

I always miss some shows because they are scheduled while I'm still at work or I'm already sleeping or whatever. On demand listening will be the lesser evil. It is not the same like downloading but still better than having no chance to listen to a particular show. Hopefully on demand replay will be as convenient as torrents are now.

Bye Bye torrents.ah.fm
