After over two years of operating IndieBandRadio, I've decided that at this point, I need to move on to other projects. In January 2004, the idea for IndieBandRadio was drawn up, and the station launched later that month.
It was originally a feature of BandsThrivingOnFans.net, eventually gaining popularity, I decided to make it an independent website. On February 11th, we celebrated the two year launch of IndieBandRadio, and I feel that at this point I have developed the station to the best of my abilities. I am looking for a responsible person that will be able to continue IBR down the path of success. I'll describe what all goes with the station at the bottom.
The site was started as a radio show and quickly became a 24/7 station. The audience kept growing and within months IBR was the #1 station playing only unsigned music via SHOUTcast streaming audio server. We still rank #1.
IndieBandRadio receives approximately 1000 unique visitors per day. Full stats are available at www.indiebandradio.com/stat . Community is just under 2 thousand members. The Webalizer system that keeps track of the traffic seems rather jittery and runs every two weeks, so use last month's traffic until it finishes its run for March. Webalizer wasn't installed for the month of january, hence no stats.
IndieBandRadio is listed in the I-Tunes directory, Windows Media Directory, and publicized in hundreds of other places. A google search for linking pages to the indiebandradio.com domain alone returns 51 pages of results (Click to see). Streaming servers will be available for free use, unguaranteed. IBR has sponsored streams. The current server can handle around 800 listeners at 128kbps (based on available bandwidth, once again, no guarantees). Listener counts in a week range from 40 unique listeners to 220 unique listeners.
Included in the sale of IndieBandRadio:
Domains:
indiebandradio.com
indiebandradio.net
indiebandradio.org
The IndieBandRadio MySpace will also be included. It currently has 734 friends. http://www.myspace.com/indiebandradio.
Site/Content:
Entire content from IBR, as well as the entire version of IndieBandRadio before the last design change. All coding, files, will be transferred to you. Hosting is your responsibility, my server is available at no charge for a short time after the sale.
Installed Software (removed if you request):
SpacialAudio SAM 2.8.3 Broadcaster
MySQL Server
Windows XP Professional
MP3Tag/MP3Gain
Misc. Debugging/AntiSpyware programs.
Hardware:
I can send the entire computer or just the hard drives. IndieBandRadio is run on a server on my own line, and the MySQL for it is there as well. The computer's hardware is not impressive, however I have achieved nearly 6 months uptime on it.
Compaq Presario 5000 Series, 256MB RAM, 700mhz Pentum 3 Processor, 10GB Primary Drive (holds operating system and MySQL files), 20GB secondary drive (holds music)
Music/Documentation:
Just under 1000 songs from indie artists. Release forms are available upon request for most bands. I have hundreds upon hundreds of CDs sent from both bands we added and bands we didn't. These can be shipped, though unless you're planning a genre widening, the rejected CDs aren't of much use.
I will consider all offers, however please keep in mind; I have spent thousands of hours on the station and have put over two years worth of effort into it. Contact me for more details on anything, I can accept money orders (will be held until they clear), Credit Cards via Paypal, or Paypal money transfer.
PM or post if you're interested or have any questions.
