Edge Radio

Can we get some support for this?

So I’ve been thinking to myself...what can I bring to the eGO fiveM server? Something original and creative. Basically I want to run a custom radio station for the server. Ideally, it would be both entertainment as well as a business . I would play music of many genres and maybe set up a fee for custom adverts( promotion) during the improvised commercial breaks.

Why should you take this seriously?

I am going to fund the shoutcast server with my own money to make it happen, I also have a professional broadcasting license which would clear any potential copyright infringements.

what does this idea add to the server?

It allows for business owners to advertise their business, other fellow musician to showcase their talent, and allows residents to request music. This could also be helpful for newcomers as I could set up a few adverts reminding players to vote on tracky server and shout postals for jobs and basic advise like that (essentially a short news segment detailing server events for new player while keeping the immersion by staying in character)

how would this work?

I would use music production Software to blend mixes of music and throw in improvised advertisements every 15-30 minutes and have it loop on the shoutcast server with the average mix time of 4-6hours. The playlist would be updated with new music every week to keep the station fresh and avoid having tracks overplayed.

If needed, I can provide a petition to show demand as well as a sample mix for a proof of concept Including names,logos, track IDs,and ad examples.

I wish to host a radio station featuring other musicians from the community. A Petition is below to gather support for the station.

Dope idea, however:

I also have a professional broadcasting license which would clear any potential copyright infringements.

Are you sure this broadcasting license covers use of copyrighted media in a game? Also, what about anyone who wants to stream using twitch? (Would go against Twitch's TOS) - There are legalities to this that need to be considered and fully researched and you need to provide the proof that everything would be good legally, before I see this being even entertained.

Okay now this would be sick! How would this work though, would It be like GTA radio, press Q and boom you're on the radio? also, no I don't know what shoutcast is, but if it's something that plays all game long then I would have to say no.

And that is the reason why. I may be focusing on the negative a lot but there may be alot of potential in this.
If anyone could give me a brief description of/and how shoutcast would work on the FiveM server I could maybe give some more feedback.

I’d love to be a DJ on the radio, I have a very very big musical culture: classical to rap, jazz to hardcore techno, indie rock to heavy metal
