Hey mods

I have a question. I don't know if what I am suggesting would take up alot of bandwith or whatnot but I would like to know if there was any way that you could put up a Prince radio on the org? You know how if you go to some sites they have music playing? Well, maybe we can do that with the option to hit the play button, pause or stop. And I figured that us Orger's can contribute songs to be added and later approved by you of course. I feel that having us add the songs would a) Alleviate time b) Let us choose what we like and c) help us input to our favorite site. I think this would be a great idea because we can go to the forums and listen to P and associated artist at the same time all from the Org ( Most of us do this anyway but with wm player ect.) The songs might become a topic of discussion and I just plain think it would be cool! Also, to make it fair, we can add some kind of blocker on the widget so that ppl cannot download songs from this site which would be illegal. What do you guys think? Can we vote on this?

Thanks so much for your time,

Famous

There are the legal implications to consider.

Ultimately it is up to the site owner.

If you use a site like live365 or any other credible radio website, royalty fees are incorporated into the service. So legal issues are a non-issue. However, someone will have to fork over the $200 or so annual fee to be able to provide the service and unless Ben re-thinks his org business model, it's all on him.
