Possible Service Interruptions

I'm going to be reconfiguring the music streams over the next day or so. Everything should be back to normal by the end of the day on Wednesday Thursday (Friday?) but there will be temporary interruptions until then.

EDIT: The company that provides those servers came through late last night when I was nestled all snug in my bed while visions of a steady income danced in my head.

Everything seems to be working properly now, so no further interruptions are planned.

The good news is that the free 128k streams will be returning, with a catch. Listeners will be limited to 15 minutes per session, then they'll be kicked off the server. Of course, people who set up a subscription will receive unlimited access to the 128k password-protected servers. People listening for free will have to decide whether fifteen minute chunks are enough for them, or whether they feel Dynamic Range Radio is something worth supporting.

It actually costs me more to offer the 64k stream, which very few people are listening to, so I've decided to do away with it as a cost cutting measure due to the impending financial crisis.

The fifteen minute previews of the 128k stream are probably a better selling tool than the 64k stream ever was since it gives listeners a taste of DRR's best audio quality, and since it's cheaper to only offer 128k, it seems like a logical decision to do so.
