The
Kill Radio Collective was formed out of the Los Angeles Independent Media Center. For
a more detailed description of our mission and background, please see our
documentation. We have used
www.radio4all.net software to create a database of material to expand our
available programming. Kill Radio came together from
radio journalists and cyber-activists to provide ourselves with the
means to share our radio programs via the Internet. Our goal is to
support and expand the movement for democratic communications worldwide.
We exist to be an alternative to the corporate and government media
which do not serve struggles for liberty, justice and peace, nor enable
the free expression of creativity. The archived material is available
to anyone who wants it free of charge.
We
welcome submissions from all stations and independent producers in
the service of these goals. All material is donated by its producers
who are solely responsible for its content.
How
It Works
This
archive is designed to provide compressed audio files which can be
downloaded to your computer's hard disk and then converted to tape
for broadcast. The Radio Project Archive uses the MPEG
audio compression system for its files. We have determined, after
much testing, that this format delivers the best possible quality
with the lowest possible file size and has free software available
for most computer systems. You will need MPEG software on your computer
in order to send and receive files.
Files
on the radio project can also be "streamed" - audited while
downloading - with the appropriate MPEG audio player. As our files
are broadcast quality, and therefore larger than is usual, they will
require high modem speeds for smooth listening. However, even on a
slower modem, this function gives you the ability to hear a bit of
the program so you can decide if you wish to download it.
Links
to software can be found in the Software
Tools section, and more complete instructions for uploading and
downloading audio are in the Instructions
section.
We
provide technical support via the Radio Project mailing list, radio@tao.ca
and are happy to help you with any questions or problems you may have.
