This station is awesome.  I've always wanted a pure tg/pce radio station and this is it.  Special thanks for not including lots of j-pop (I like j-pop also, but usually I'm just looking for an obey fix).

Listening now, I like it.  Do you plan to display titles during each song change?

I use MediaMonkey to listen to the stream and it updates the track info.

Adding even more songs now (will update original post here in a few).

Song titles seem to only show up right now fine using WinAmp (it is a Shoutcast server).  Not sure yet if I can get song titles to show up using other players yet.

I'm testing it on my end using the free iPad shoutcast app and it doesn't show song titles (boo).

Ah perfect.  I have a WinAmp license so will switch.  I was using WMP.

Edit:  Confirmed.  Works great!  Thanks Aaron for doing this.

BLAST FROM THE PAST! I can't believe I used to take pcefx radio for granted a million years ago.  

I'm glad it is back, Aaron.  




iPad/iPhone users: Artist info is displayed for me... I'm using FStream (an old iPhone-only app that I like, using it for years and years, but I'm willing to try suggestions, especially for a universal app):

Listening now. It works great with VLC. I think I found my new favorite radio station.
I am bad and that's good. I will never be good and that's not bad. There's no one I'd rather be than me.

very VERY cool Aaron!!  Thanks for this!


Any chance if this hits the 9 user limit that we would be able to help out with the costs?

Excellent!!!  Thanks!

Clicking as many banners as possible.
NW: Hey, I made it on this psycho's Enemies' List, how about that ?? ;)

BT: Look at how the fake SFII' carts instantly sold out and were immediately listed on eBay before the flippers even took possession. Look at Nintendo's overpriced bricks. Look at the typical forum discussions elsewhere.

You can't tell most retro gamers anything!

I'm streaming the show from my Nokia Lumia 920 Windows Phone via Bluetooth to my car, which shows the song data  :dance:

So the show as it sits right now costs me $75/year for 10 listener slots+96 kbps+5GB Cloud Storage.  I'm not even hitting 1GB yet with all of the MP3's I've uploaded so far (I'm up to 11.5 hours worth of music), and 96 kbps sounds pretty damn good (even in my car).  I can of course up the bitrate and or users at anytime for additional cost:

10 listener slots+96kbps+5GB Cloud Storage: $75/year < current
25 listener slots+96kbps+5GB Cloud Storage: $186/year

If we change the bandwidth just to see the price difference:

10 listener slots+128kbps+5GB Cloud Storage: $90/year
25 listener slots+128kbps+5GB Cloud Storage: $225/year
