I'm not sure Criag, they didn't offer that originally.  Are the 128k stations all PRO stations?

Yeah, that's teh big boys there.  They're paying at least 5,000 dollars a year to broadcast.

5000 a year! so is it the higher the sound quality the more it is, or just because they are PRO?

That's part of it.  You pay more for bandwith.  128 would cost twice as much as 64. 


 


But the BIG difference is if you're a pro station you have to pay royalties DIRECTLY to Soundexchange instead of through Live365, so besides paying Live365 broadcast fees (which are huge if you've got 1000 or more listener slots) you also pay a minimum of $2500 a year in royalties (probably a lot more if you actually have 1000 listeners at a time).


If we ever grow the station to a decent size we'll have no choice but to include SOME advertising   But it will be a good problem to have to deal with if it ever happens

When you have to sell advertising, make sure they're at least good commercials...

it'll sound like 128k, I'll just shout and play my music louder.
