We did it! Through the generous donations of the Highlander Radio listeners we are back streaming again.

Highlander Radio is now an officially licensed ASACP and BMI Station! And that makes me proud that we are in complaince with all applicable U.S. laws.

It's going to take a week to get everything back. Only the broadband stream is working. Go to our main page near the middle of the page you will see a new yellow speaker that has our broadband stream. We will be updating the other links and rearranging stuff over the weekend too, so expect to find some links that don't work (like our old streams).

We have updated the tune-in page with new instructions. Note that you don't necessarily need to use live365's player. You can use winamp, real audio, iTunes, etc. You just need to configure it from your live365 listener account.

Any questions, please email me!

And it doesn't skip =) still not a freat buffer fill, but it'll work I guess. Glad to have the music back. So, exactly where do we stand now? Exactly what does that licensing mean if there's still a ton of folks to contact about royalties?

Paul,

Thank you for all of your hard work and thank the missus for her patience.

To you and your family:

May you live a long life
Full of gladness and health,
With a pocket full of gold
As the least of your wealth.

May the dreams you hold dearest,
Be those which come true,
The kindness you spread,
Keep returning to you.

May the friendships you make,
Be those which endure,
And all of your grey clouds
Be small ones for sure.

And trusting in Him
To Whom we all pray,
May a song fill your heart,
Every step of the way.

Wonderful news tonight, Paul!!!!! Thank you so much for all you've done to make this happen!! Thanks to Shari, too, as I'm sure she's helped (or at least provided moral support through this mess!) Phew! I hope you can relax now and enjoy the rest of the weekend with your family.

Thanks again, to both of you!! clap.gif cheers.gif clap.gif w00t2.gif

Your very much welcome. I am just glad that music is flowing again. We have a backlog of 10 new CD's we received in the past week (busy), so hopefully we can get those up on the broadcast soon.

It is such a big job keeping everything moving smoothly. Shari has been helping alot monitor the emails and she is good with fixing computers. She fixed the webserver the other day when the power supply blew up. It is a good thing we keep fire alarms around the servers, just in case you never know. I am not sure if it would have caught on fire if we did not discover it so soon.

Ok, the royalty payments. Live365 is taking care of those for us. I imagine that they have some very good programming that identifies which songs they get charged. Plus, them being so large they probably have their own deal with the RIAA that is less.

I am starting to notify all new artists to write us a note giving us permission to broadcast until we get a legal form. Again, looking down the road we don't want to be tied to one company (live365) forever, but wouldn't think we would leave their services if we get a presence on there.

Thanks again for all your kind comments!

I am sooooooooooooo thankful to you and the Mrs. for getting us back into the music again! I don't have broadband and can't get it in my area sad.gif , so I will wait patiently for the other service to work from you for us dial-up folks. However, I have been listening to Live 365 and while it has a buffering problem with me it is not too bad and certainly better than nothing!

Where now the horse and the rider? Where is the horn that was blowing?
Where is the helm and the hauberk, and the bright hair flowing?
Where is the hand on the harpstring, and the red fire glowing?
Where is the spring and the harvest and the tall corn growing?
They have passed like rain on the mountain, like a wind in the meadow
The days have gone down in the West behind the hills into shadow
Who shall gather the smoke of the dead wood burning
Or behold the flowing years from the Sea returning?

Your all very much welcomed! Well, we blew the donation account up, but we are now fully complaint with the new laws concerning streaming. The total cost we had to come up with was over $700! Along with donations we had previously in the account along with what we received we were able to do it!

We now have 3 streaming accounts: broadband, modem and special programming. The special account is only paid until April, so we would like to do the same with that - get 1 year of streaming.

We also have a new secondary hosting account that will be setup in a few days. Hopefully we can increase the speed of the site with this account.

Thanks for all your kinda comments here! It is good to know that Highlander Radio is a legal broadcast fully licensed. There was also a question brought up about companies that make the broadcast software available going after internet radio broadcasters. Can't remember where I saw this post, but I think it was on NPR.

Around the middle of last year we purchased a professional broadcasting package that contains all of the licenses for the technologies we use. We paid $200 for this package. The technology that compresses the files and such is all owned and/or licensed by AudioRealm.com.

So we are legal all around!
