Yes, I understand nothing's free in this world, and yes, I'm going to miss "Mike the Radioio Guy," but I'm not going to pay twenty bucks a month for something I listen to a couple hours a week, especially if I can't run it through iTunes. And the 24 kbit stream for $5 probably has the sound quality of a transistor radio.
Ooo, look, radio.wazee's playing New Order...
Posted by eric k at March 29, 2003 01:40 PM | TrackBackRadioio is available in mp3 format which works great with iTunes. Once you hear the sound quality the 128k streams, there's no going back...
The guy who does our sound design (processing) has had offers from clear channel, adsertion, and several other major net-radio networks. But he, like the rest of us here, are truely all about the music. The audio processing used on all radioio channels is exclusive to radioio.
If you goto our website and fill out the contact form and ask for a free week of 128k service, customer support will give it to you to try out for yourself - so I can shutup now. ;-)
someone, radioio
