I am also a devoted listener of the di.fm and sky.fm network with a premium subscription to that broadcasting network. They have an amazing variety of hight quality radios. It sounded as if this was spam lol. I just happen to like that an other radios as rockradio1 (metal) and friskyradio (deep progressive house). If well negotiated, it could also be a two-way good publicity they could be announcing volumio and the proyect could reach a wide range of users.

My suggestion is to the staff to think on a better integration with radio networks. I know people that no longer listen to stored mp3 on their pcs and just listen to a variety of radio networks. Some dont even bother for quality radios and just listen to youtube and nothing more. Stored music is slowly becoming a thing of the past with high speed internet becoming more and more present and accessible to all everywhere and anywhere.

If, in the near future, your car radio suddenly cuts off a cassette tape in mid-Mozart, switches to an FM station, and cranks up the volume, don't search the skies for alien spacecraft - just listen for a brief traffic update.

The West German radio manufacturer, Blaupunkt, has just begun marketing such a sophisticated radio in New York City. Four local FM radio stations already broadcasting traffic information now are equipped with the technology to trigger the automatic functions of the new radio. A Blaupunkt spokesman says the company expects to have the Automatic Radio Information (ARI) system in ''at least 20 major city areas in the United States within the next two years.'' Boston, Chicago, Philadelphia, Houston, San Francisco, and the Los Angeles-San Diego corridor are among the cities targeted.

The European Broadcast Union selected Blaupunkt to develop the radio 10 years ago to help untangle massive traffic snarls on European highways during the peak weeks of summer vacation. Helicopter traffic observers could see that most cars were traveling on the same roads while alternate routes were wide open. The problem was how to get the message to drivers paying little attention to background music or the yammering of radio announcers.

The solution was a hybrid computer chip, built into each radio unit, that receives a subaudible tone broadcast over existing local FM networks. Signs along major roads tell West German drivers what station to tune to in each area. As long as the radio unit is tuned to the correct station, even at low volume, the traffic or emergency messages will get through.

Christian Stettler, an official of the International Consultative Committee for Radio Communications in Geneva, says the traffic information service, used throughout West Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, has been very successful. In the last five years, almost 90 percent of the FM radios in West German cars, he says, have come to feature the ARI technology. Bosch, Blaupunkt's parent firm, as well as Volkswagen, BMW, and Mercedes Benz officials confirm this.

Mr. Stettler says the receivers on the European market vary in price from $ 200 to $450. Japanese radio manufacturers including Sony and Pioneer also make the special car radios for European cars, using the hybrid computer chip under license from the German firm. So far, only Blaupunkt models (ranging from $160 to $450 in the US) are available in the New York area. However, a Blaupunkt spokesman says both American and Japanese manufacturers will be licensed to use the ARI technology as the American market opens up.

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in Washington gave the ARI system the green light in the US, says Bob Greenberg of the FCC's Broadcast Bureau, because ''it seems to work overseas, and it looked to be in the public interest - that's why we granted it (authorization).''

Richard Neer of WNEW-FM, one of the four FM stations involved with Blaupunkt's ARI system in New York City, says ''the service started one month ago, but it is too early to tell what effect it is having - there can't be more than a dozen radios out there.''

Each day a WNEW-FM reporter compiles hourly reports using information provided by Shadow Traffic, a local information service in New York. The station then transmits the subaudible tone and broadcasts its accompanying traffic update three times each hour during rush hour and once each hour during normal hours, advising motorists of alternate routes or severe weather conditions.

A Blaupunkt spokesman says each radio station is allowed a 10-second tag advertisement at the end of each broadcast, but the FCC requires that the station not abuse the ARI system by broadcasting anything other than public-service information.

''At this point it is almost gimmicky, but in the near future, it will be much, much more useful to consumers,'' says Paul Benedict of Radio a La Carte, a car stereo store, in Piscataway, N.J. ''Believe me, traffic is a nightmare at rush hour in New York City.''

Monitor journalism changes lives because we open that too-small box that most people think they live in. We believe news can and should expand a sense of identity and possibility beyond narrow conventional expectations.

For 40 years, federal law has prohibited broadcasters from accepting money or anything of value in exchange for playing songs without disclosing the practice to listeners. But a loose-knit cadre of independent promoters dodges the anti-payola law by paying broadcasters annual fees they say are not tied to airplay of specific songs.

Radio programmers, in turn, say they never play specific songs in return for money. At the same time, they say the annual fees and prizes provided by independent promoters are crucial to their bottom lines.

Many independent labels forgo seeking radio airplay, preferring to save their money to pay for concert tour costs or to buy retail or print advertising. But that decision essentially guarantees lower sales and limits the ability of the small labels to expand.

After a series of phone calls to lobby for the record--unsuccessfully--Robinson said he spoke with KCDU program director Mike Skot. Robinson said Skot asked him whether Third Monk had the financial backing to hire National Music Marketing, an Encino-based independent promoter.

"Did you get the invitation? It's the fall of the American empire, but don't worry, you didn't miss a thing." When State Radio brings its high-energy act to the 9:30 club Saturday evening, they will pose that question to concertgoers within their extremely politicized songs.

Created with the ashes of legendary independent band Dispatch, former member Chad "Chetro" Urmston, along with Mike Najarian and Chuck Fay, use the folk-rock jam style characterized by Dispatch and mixes in a heavier rock sound with a reggae vibe to create the unique sound that State Radio defines. In 2006, the band's debut album, "Us Against the Crown," launched its political views to the world. This album focused on every issue from the war in Iraq to police brutality.

"Gunship Politico," a fan favorite, embodies the perfect State Radio song. It begins with a quick reggae-style guitar picking and shifts to heavier edge, like something one would find listening to Rage Against the Machine, while keeping with the reggae vibe. The lyrics speak out against police brutality and then transform into a message against politicians for supporting more violence created by the war in Iraq and a heightened state of security in the United States. State Radio chants the phrase "Watch out for them politicos" in "Gunship Politico," which serves as a theme for the album and a rallying cry for an entire age that is frustrated with the political status quo.

State Radio is one of the premier bands of the subgenre of politically and socially conscious music that is gradually moving into the mainstream. They serve as the contemporary torchbearer of this musical flame of protest that, barring a few exceptions, has lain dormant since the folk-rock era of the 1960s. Conscious music has always had a large following at universities across the country, and being one of the largest proponents of the genre today, State Radio should especially pique the interest of AU students, one of the most politically active campuses in the United States.

"Every song truly means something; that's something you really don't hear at all in music on the radio anymore," Marotta said. "State Radio sincerely tries to convey an important message in every song to every listener, and if you truly listen to the music and what they're trying to say, you come away with a greater sense of some of the issues that plague our political systems as well as human rights issues around the world."

The connection built between State Radio and their fans is a unique one in that it is not based strictly on the music, but the band and its fans share similar beliefs on political and social issues; when the fans and the band come together for a live concert, it makes for a magical and explosive event. They take the stage with a high-energy, electrifying presence, jumping up and down and practically moshing like one would see at a punk concert.

The Raspberry Pi makes an excellent gift on its own, but getting one in a custom Time Machine Radio is remarkably fulfilling. This holiday, a maker known as Byte-rider created a custom Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W-powered radio for his father.

This custom radio has a professional design and clean finish that we think looks fantastic. There is a dial on one side that can tune into different decades. The Pi reads this input to play only music from the selected decade.

This Raspberry Pi project is open source for anyone interested in creating a Time Machine Radio of their own. According to Byte-rider, users will need a Pi Zero 2 W, a Pimoroni Audio Amp SHIMN, a 1000C Adafruit PowerBoost module, a PTV09A-4025F-B103 potentiometer for the knob, and a power switch. Everything is housed inside an old NR-3013 radio.
