If you had an account on RadioReference.com prior to May 30th, 2009, you can then login to the site as yourself.
Please note that this is a beta site - so we are looking for your help in how things are integrated, and problems and errors you experience, and overall usability feedback. Please read each of these notes below carefully for information on how to help us out:
1) This beta site is running a copy of the RadioReference database from May 30th 2009. Therefore, all forums posts, frequency data, etc are all "frozen in time" from May 30th, 2009.
2) You will see a new Live Audio menu item on the top menu bar. You can browse live audio feeds that are currently available on the beta site.
3) We have not yet converted the existing production live audio feeds from ScanAmerica just yet. We will do that when we go live on June 21st, 2009.
4) If you are interested in testing the broadcasting, feed down notifications, and feed provider management components, you can go ahead and apply to broadcast a feed using the method that will go into production on June 21st. To apply to broadcast a test feed on the beta site, follow these steps:
- Make sure you are logged into to the site
- Click the ACCOUNT link at the top of the page to access your account
- Click "My Live Audio Feeds"
- Click the "Apply to Broadcast a feed" button
Note that we do not recommend you broadcast a feed to the Beta site unless you are interested in testing and seeing the feed management components. In addition, please do not broadcast a feed to the beta site from any of your production broadcast equipment that is currently sending feeds to ScanAmerica - we don't want you to impact the feeds that are currently live in production.
if you've never broadcaster a scanner before, and want to give it a try, feel free to fill out a feed application and we'll get the process going so you can test it out.
5) Once you have a live feed approved on the beta site, you'll be able to test feed management functions. You'll notice icons available such as "feed owner page" and other features.
Until we can get formal documentation in place, please take a few moments to poke around, get familiar with the new setup. This is a complete fully functional broadcasting and archiving setup for testing.. so don't hesitate to give it a run through. And don't hesitate to ask questions. Also don't forget, this is a beta site, so we will be making changes and updates. If something isn't working quite right, be patient with us as we work through standard beta stuff.
We want to hear your constructive feedback - let us know what questions you have by posting in this thread or emailing us directly at:
audio@radioreference.com
Thanks for your support, and Gordon and I look forward to your feedback.
Warm regards,
Lindsay
