Please read - Mobo needs a "REAL SOUL AWARD" Reply

Wondered if U guyz would lend UR support to a group set up 2 lobby the MOBO Awards in the uk, there is every award but a 'SOUL MUSIC' award.

The guy (called Dan) that has set this up needs Soul fans to log on & join the group. He only has a week to submit it to MOBO.

Here's a copy of the Bulletin going around, please support it. Forwarding this as I think it deserves our attention :

Hello everyone,

There is an important online Soul Music petition being signed at the website below.

http://groups.myspace.com/whereisthesoul

All you need to do is join the group, if you have a Myspace page. The online petition is designed to send a message to the organisers of the UK's MOBO (Music of Black Origin) Awards - to get them to introduce a "Soul Music" category at the event.

So, let's spread the word to the soul music community world-wide. Please join the group as soon as possible, then invite 10 other online friends to do the same. We have 1 week in which to achieve the maximum impact, before the next MOBO Awards on Wednesday 19th September, 2007. Thanks for reading.

Best regards,

Tunji Adebowale Thanx 4 UR time guyz.

This is a typical station page.

Here station fans can tune in, discuss, tag the station, and join a station's group. Groups provides a closer connection with listeners and allows you to build a community around your station.

Tags are a way for listeners to bookmark your station and also provide a way to classify your station for searching. For instance, the more people that tag a station 'Alternative', the higher that station will appear when someone searches for or clicks an 'Alternative' tag.

new!When you purchase a broadcast package you are given a number of Listener Units. You divvy your Listener Units up among the four bit rate options: 32kbs, 64kbs, 96kbs, or 128kbs*. We came up with the idea of Listener Units so that you can re-allocate your bandwidth at any time.

For instance, let's say you start broadcasting thinking all your listeners will have a broadband connection. Eventually you start hearing from people that can't tune in because they're (unfortunately!) still on a dial up connection. All you have to do is re-allocate some Listener Units to the lower quality 32kbs stream!

*bit rates correspond to stream quality - a higher number means a higher quality stream

Basic stats are provided for your station. You can see what's happening 'now' and the last thirty days.

Weekly spin charts are generated for your station. They contain the top 100 most heard songs you played during the week. Charts are often linked to by artists which drives traffic back to your station.

There are many ways for your station to be found on LoudCity

All active stations are randomly rotated and appear on the homepage as a featured station.

The most used tags appear on the homepage. Click next and you'll see what happens when someone clicks the 'Alternative' tag.

This is the search results for all stations tagged 'Alternative'. As mentioned earlier, the stations most tagged 'Atlernative' are listed first.

When someone clicks on an artist name anywhere on the site they're taken to an artist page where they can see the stations that play that artist. Again the stations that play that artist most are listed first.

Yet another way for listeners to find stations they're going to like.

In addition to all the features you've just seen we also offer a Custom Launch Page option. This allows you to upload your own html page(s) to LoudCity. Since our webcasting licenses require our broadcasters to 'launch' their streams from the loudcity.com domain, the Custom Launch Page option is a great way to keep the look and feel of your existing site when you send listeners over to tune in.

Whether you're a seasoned online broadcaster or just want to try it as a hobby, LoudCity provides a great set of tools and features for you to be successful. Give it a try!
