No More 15 Minute Time Limits!

As of August 11th, I'm no longer limiting Dynamic Range Radio to fifteen minute listening sessions. The goal was to try and encourage people to subscribe by giving them limited access to the music for free and full-time access if they subscribed, but it wasn't working so I'm returning to a pay-what-you-think-it's-worth model.

In other words, listen to your heart's content, and if you like what you hear, I encourage you to make a donation to help keep Dynamic Range Radio broadcasting.

Some people would say that's an insane business model. They'd say that no one will buy the cow if you give the milk away for free, but I've found that until people develop a taste for milk they won't even buy a carton of the stuff.

So I'm back to giving it away for free and hoping that people will eventually want to donate out of the kindness of their hearts, and since my listenership has increased in less than 24 hours since getting rid of the 15 minute limit, hopefully the fanbase will grow more quickly this way.

In the immediate future I'll be focusing more on trying to get sponsors on board, and as the audience grows it'll be a lot easier for me to do that.

I still hope to have a two-tiered system in the future where people tuning in for free will have to listen to an ad before the music starts up, while subscribers get to skip the ad and head straight for the music, but for now everyone can listen for as long as they want and hopefully I'll get a few more loyal listeners that way.

And if you like the station, don't forget to tell a friend.
