Also I guess some members live outside lebanon with a decent connection.

What upload (not download) speed do you have? I've got ~1 mbit/s. So we can do radio for 16 listeners with 64 kbps or for 32 users on 32 kbps (it's not very good).
We should now found the member who has the highest upload speed and who wants to help.
Also we should calculate how much users will listen to our radio. If there will be 10-15 of them, I can start radio and it will work fine.

OK I've tried to install all needed soft to the server given to me and all is done. While the server will be alive, we can perform radio on it.
But what we'll play and we need to set a time to test radio by some members?
When server will be out (it will heppen when we will spend 25 gb of bw), we will return to the problem of finding a member with high upload speed.
When time and songs list will be set, i'll try to load them to the server.

Upload speed same as yours but In january im going to increase my speed so it should be better..

Don't worry I can upload from uni as well its 25mb there

I'm sorry for jumping out of topic, but Vcoderz instant messaging system would be better and more feasible...

@RayanHalawi, the station should be static, you either put it at your home or at university. I'm not sure if you got it, but the upload speed they're talking about is the one of the station server... That's why I was suggesting an IM system, since it is more feasible...

Personaly, I think that this instant messaging system isn't needed, but if you want and others will support, why not to do it?
Also, We can use some shoutcast hosting or dynDNS if RayanHalawi haven't a static IP.

If you can, it would be very great. We will be able to serve more then 200 users and that's more then enough for us.

You're new here and this subject was discussed many times before you join.
Lots of members were with the idea of an IM system, but the subject was closed each time since there were no contributors...
I think an IM system is more useful than a radio station. What do you want this station to broadcast? Everything is available for download.

I'm not against this system, I just said that in my opinion it will not be very useful, but I may be wrong. And also do you have any ideas how to make this system?
The station was also supported by some members. I think that comparing radio and IM system is useless- these things are different at all.
I don't know too what to play on this station and I said it above. Maybe, some top tracks, or music ordered by members or smth other- We're here to decide.

Both ideas are great, I guess a poll to decide between the two would be useful.

And I'm not against the station. I'm just choosing what's is better and more feasible with the resources available.

IM >>>>> Radio ...damn would u prefer a radio with 20 tracks which is updated on a week-basis and uses a heckload of bandwidth or a simpler much better IM service (which in my opinion should be present in all forums)
