Rule #3: Everytime you request the same song, the price for you doubles.
This would certailly put money in the stations pockets and limit the replay of certain "epics" over and over and over again. You know who you are!
Let's see how this would work...
For our UK friends, substitute p for ¢.  (Exchange rates are awful!)

Basically I likethis idea
, there would be some ppl spending after half a year 50 bucks to listen their GYBE!, good price for our suffering....
But, seriously speaking, I do not think that this reflects the spirit of this station.
Comming back to the original thread it would be great to have a possibility to increase the number of listeners in order to be able to share prog and this magnific place with more people in the world. But of course I see also the economic problem in this, bearing in mind that this should be a non commercial site (and I am more than 100% in favour of that).
But arising some funds means also to be a little organized in the only organized funds arising area, which is the 128 k stream. I am on that stream now since March 2004, but no mail came, that I have to renew this privilege, and I guess, no other moonie got something like that. Or have I been forgotten with the change of ownership? (US $ 50 on the way to you Jim in a couple of min for the next year...
)
But maybe we should think also about another idea. Some of us are able and willing to donate some more. But for this I e.g. would like to have a proposal from management with the goal and the costs involved (like the new chat, which never was realized due to technical reasons, but had some funds collected) in order to make this goal also our private and personal goal.
I repeat myself: I hope, that AM remains an abolute non commercial station, only supported by the listeners.
