Check our new schedule ! HERE !<\/a>", "Music for Lounge-Lovers is back! On RauteMusik.FM the channel #Musik.Lounge offers you adequate music to enjoy. This web site stays!
 
Going into details:
radio42 is NOT on-air anymore! radio42 is NO Internet Radio Station anymore! We also do not operate any other station anywhere else!
What we offer on our web site is only a link to www.RauteMusik.FM
I.e. I do music editorial work for their #Musik.Lounge channel. So I just have indirect something to do with RauteMusik - I help them composing and programming their lounge channel. But I am not responsible for any operations or other station related activities.
For me it was just important to be able to have an influence to editorial work in order to support smaller record labels, DJs and artists - that's my mission.", "What a night, finally we need to close anyhow! From well informed sources we have heard that the major record lables under the leadership of the Bertelsman-Group prepare a huge class-action lawsuit with the GVL in Germany!
Even if radio42.com does not stream from Germany anymore but from Gambia, anyhow all Web-Radios with a German contact person or a German domain registration should be sued for damages!
This would also effect us. Therefore the owners of radio42 have decided to close the operation! We have discussed this issue with a couple of lawyers but all have told us, that there will be not much of a chance to win against such big lobby and record labels.
 
We would like to say thank you - for ALL - it was great with you!
 
This web-site will still be open. We still do our CD reviews and will show you a playlist what we we would have played, if we would still be on air! However we need to close all streams!", "First of all I would like to say thanks to all the smaller lables who have given us such great support! And there are a lot out there. Those lables have supported us at 100% and had been so happy!
 
It is really only the big major lables who are guilty that we need to close!!!!
What can YOU do in order to complain and express your frustration?
 
1. DO NOT BUY any CDs anymore from the following companies: SONY-BMG, UNIVERSAL, EMI or WARNER
 
2. Write an eMail to the German Licence Organization and raise your claim at: gvl@gvl.de
 
3. Write a letter to the German Federal Office of Culture:
Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung
Dienstsitz Berlin
Hannoversche Straße 28-30
10115 Berlin (Germany)", "Yes, we have given radio42 away to the Gambia Radio Authority!
P.O. Box 438, Banjul, Gambia (Africa)
 
This in order to stay alive and keep you serving with good grooves!
For you - the listener - all will stay the same!!! The music, the content, the web - everything!
All music is now sourced and origined from a server located in our location in Gambia.
We still continue working with Bernd Niedergesaess. He will be our music editor in Europe and techn. person in charge. He will also still operate the web-site for us plus some relay-servers for you.
Also all Pay-Pal and other financial things will still be organized by him for us - this to keep you folks in Europe in smooth touch with us and to make the transition as easy and seemless as possible.
As we have noticed, that most listeners are within Germany and Europe in general:
- we will continue offering the German web-site version
- we will continue using the existing PayPal service
- we will continue serving European adds
Our close relationship with Bernd will ensure our operation - the Gambia Radio Authority.
THX for staying online with us!", "My thanks goes to You! You had been a great audience and it was a lot of fun. You have bought a lot of CDs and may be someone out there in the music industy will once realize, that web-radios are a great thing and important! I love you! I still continue to produce radio shows (moderated an unmoderated, in english and in german)! If you know soneone (e.g. a 'real' Radio-Station) please let him know, that I am out there waiting on for a call or note...and that I want to continue spreading great music...for you! Here are my contact details...Bernd Niedergesaess, Gryphiusstrasse 9, D-22299 Hamburg (Germany), Mail: bn@radio42.com", "Probably some bad news to speard...I guess some of you might have already heard about the new royalty fees which are due in Germany starting from the 1st of April 2005. The GVL (a German music licence organization) is going to raise it's tarif for webcasters dramatically. This means for radio42, that I would have to pay more than 30.000,-- Euro each year in the future! As you can guess, this is way too much than I can afford. My simple dream was to support music and artists which can hardly be found on commercial radio stations - Music for Lounge-Lovers: NuJazz, Latin, Deep House, Brokenbeats, Downtempo, NuSoul and OldSchool...all that stuff you love too! As a result, I guess I have no other choice than to close my radio station at the end of March 2005. radio42 would not have been possible without you! Thank you so much! That's why you deserve to know these bad news at first. My heart is really suffering. My brain is banging. I can not stop thinking how to change the situation. But In fact there are no real options...I could move the staion outside Germany, where royalty fees are more fair...BUT I would have to leave Germany as well...stupid!", "radio42 wishes all of you a fluffy X-Mas time and a Happy New Year 2005!
At this point a BIG BIG THANKS to all who supported radio42. Especially THANKS to all who donated some money to keep us alive - just great!. THANKS to all wonderful DJs for their fantastic music and mixes. And THANKS to all record labels for sending us promotional copies with fresh tunes.
It is great serving you all with our music and I hope on a successful 2005...
 
A small view back to the year 2004:
- we had more than 2.8 Million visitors
- we had more than 1200 listeners at peak time in parallel
- we had an average of 7.500 visitors daily
- we have streamed more than 300 TerraByte of music
- we have played around 120.000 titles for you
- we have promoted around 500 new CDs this year
- we have found many friend
- we had a lot of stress
- but we love what we do
- we need your support and donations in 2005", "Unfortunately it didn't work out! What a petty, cause the test was really successful, but in average only 7 users accepted the new Peer-To-Peer Streaming service. And for 7 listeners it is not worth running the new server. Therefore we are back with banner adds, at least in order to get a little bit of money for the station...
 :
In the next days you might find some new banners flying around on our web-site.
We don't do this to go onto your nerves, no, we simply have to do it in order to finance our operational cost just a little bit.
 
We even did not received many donation in the last weeks - a big THANKS to all who made a donation - but without donation we can not run the station anymore...we need to go the commercial way, meaning more banner adds...we have really tried everything else!", "We have some new servers bought for you (so please donate in order to keep them alive).
There is a new European server reachable at: radio42server3.kicks-ass.net:9700
 
As well we have a new US based server (which causes some trouble for European listeners), reachable at: radio42server5.kicks-ass.net:8000 (if it makes trouble to you - switch to a European server!)", "The first downloadable MP3-CD!
