DJ's On HabboxLIVE.

[Earthquake]

Okay, I've got really sick of the DJ's on habbox playing the grunger music, Everytime I visit the radio they always have the same old rubbish on, I've sent in numerous requests but theirs ALWAYS grunger/goth music playing, And I feel its a reason listeners are tuning out, Maybe you could play more chavy, James morrison, You know, 21st century rnb/pop/party music? And maybe you should get a clearer radio sound because not being funny but it seems really poor, Look at Kiss's radio its really clear but habbox is really poor, So maybe improving the music, And the radio itself, It would attract ALOT more listeners.

Edit// Also maybe instead of click on a link on habbox.com and the radio being refreshed, Maybe you should do something clubhabbo do with the pages.

[PenguinFluid]

I agree
Shouldcover wide variaties

[Hecktix]

I was listening the other day and havent heard any rock music whatsoever...

[VPSwow]

I like pop, rock, dance, rnb and i havnt heard a variety at all at the moment.

[,Jess,]

The quality of the radio at the time you posted was actually really good. Some DJs may not have the best quality that they can get with their broadcasters but I'm sure in time they will.

I doubt the quality would be as clear as a professional radio station but I tune in a lot and it is practically always the best quality it could be like on sites like ClubHabbo.

The music played is decided by the listeners and obviously the DJ on air. I personally always play what I would call a wide variety of music and if you tuned in and listened long enough you would see that most of, if not all the DJs do.

If your request isn't played then I would presume that there is a valid reason e.g The DJ doesn't have it, it contains swearing or there are a lot of requests

The DJ on air will play it for you if they have it and if they don't will probably try and get it for you in time for their next show if not play something similar.

I think there's a reason the radio refreshes everytime you change a page if it bothers you maybe stop the radio on www.habbox.com (http://www.habbox.com) and tune in through www.habboxlive.com (http://www.habboxlive.com). You'll see there that you won't have this problem :).

[Yoshimitsui]

The quality seems fine to me, it must be your computer. And as for the songs a wider variety would be apreciated.

[today]

i never hardly listen to hxr cus its not really any good, so i agree.

[The Professor]

I think this is the trend in young people in general. The emo craze seems to have captured many a prisoner and as a result all the MCR and "grunger" style stuff is being played more often. Im guessing this is not always entirely the DJ's fault because, as you say, requests should be used, but if lots of similar minded people are requesting similar music, the DJ will play it to keep them listening.

In short, unless you can change young people, you're not going to change the music.

[Ashhizzle]

Tbh my problem with hxl is their bloody high pitch voices.

And i don't listen purely because i don't enjoy having an 11 year old screaming 'GET DWN TO HALLWAY I FOR PARTTYYY!!!1' down the mic.

-.-

That is true and songs from artists like MCR are requested a lot. However it doesn't mean that this is all the DJs play. If we completely ignore requests though it ends up in us losing listeners for obvious reasons so if there were a few requests for 1 particular song then it's likely it's going to get played.

I knew someone was going to say that. It reallly annoys me when people make a comment like that. It is a habbo based radio station so you're likely to get someone saying "get down to hallway 1" but I think saying "having an 11 year old screaming down your ear" is harsh. It's blatently just being critical towards the DJs about something that a lot of people would argue is not true.

[Bomb-Head]

Same, and the KBPS of the radio is fine.

Its true...

[,Jess,]

Its true...

It's actually not...

Maybe you should tune in some time and see :)

[Lepore]

Exactly, Dont just tune in for 2 seconds and think that. Tune in for a whole hour maybe for even 10 minutes You'll see the difference. And if there is a certain DJ you aren't to fond of, tune into other DJs.
DJ's are like music. Variety Variety :)

[Elkaa]

Whilst I don't like listening to it often, when I do listen it is generally music that I don't mind. The one thing that I can -not- stand with the radio, is when the DJ is constantly talking, about absoutely nothing, and just wasting my time.

The songs are generally good, with quiet abit of variety - We all have our own tastes, catering for ALL tastes is hard. Request, play, sorted. If 1 person wants Linkin Park, and 53 people want M&M, obviously 53 people wins.

Yea I know that, Once on thinkhabbo about 200 listeners listened to some girl being told of by her mum and she was crying, it was well funny.

[TehJoshy]

its not exactly death metal is it =\
its the pop rock stuff like FOB,MCR..

[Earthquake]

Yea but some of the music and the quality on habbox.com on my computer makes me feel sick, and the DJ's who haven't got their balls dropped talking about random crap..

Edited by Bomb-Head (Forum Super Moderator): Please don't insult other forum members / Habbox staff, thanks :)

[Lepore]

No need to make fun of DJ's.
Thats just plain rude.

Keep them to yourself tbh.

It's understandable that you think some of the DJ's haven't hit puberty. Thats fine

But there is no need to Make fun of others.

Being Mature means not making a fool of yourself

[Mexel]

And tell the truth on the stats? Unless there real and 96 people are tuned in on a Tuesday at 01:00 pm :|

If you're really that bothered click here (http://shoutcast1.tidyhosts.com:9028/index.html) , why would the stats be fixed? Grow up. Please.

[Lepore]

So you are saying there fake?

If thats what you think that is fine.

I think us DJs do a pretty good job.
And I understand some people are saying the server is sketchy and that some DJs do need more of a variety in there music. Understandable.

[Neversoft]

What? :S Whenever I look at the bottom of the forum to see whats playing it's always crappy pop music. :S

[Lepore]

Well Everyone Has there own taste in music. Im going to compare music to food. Its the same thing. Some people like some food some dont. But back onto the music topic.

Tbh i dont like pop music or even rap. I still play it though.
I play what listeners want and they get it.
Most of you are right. More variety.

But that does not mean we aren't doing a great job.
You are looking at the surface of what we do.

Not behind the scenes.

[Ostinato]

If you're really that bothered click here (http://shoutcast1.tidyhosts.com:9028/index.html) , why would the stats be fixed? Grow up. Please.

Lol I don't really see what "growing up" has go to do with anything tbh... :rolleyes:

[Lepore]

Lol I don't really see what "growing up" has go to do with anything tbh... :rolleyes:



She simply means "GROW UP" Because He was plainly saying we have "FAKE" listeners which we know we dont. Which isn't the point.

Why go off and make a appalling comment as such.

She mean't grow up as in be more mature in your choice of words. etc.

[,Jess,]

Lol I don't really see what "growing up" has go to do with anything tbh... :rolleyes:


His point was stupid, trying to make us look bad, therefore immature which is why I told him to grow up :)

Also what Lepore said, we all put effort into our shows and don't nessercairly play what we like. So when we work hard at something and then there's a thread like this that basically has some pretty harsh comments in it (to put it bluntly) sucks

[Ostinato]

I know what the term "grow up" literally implys and suggests thanks very much. :)

I'm just saying, in response to his post I didn't find it particularly relevant a "come-back" to what he actually said...

He believes that the listeners are perhaps fake - how does that make him immature? Just because you guys are DJ's and disagree with his opinion doesn't mean he is immature... :S

Likewise, you may think that the world is flat - he doesn't - that doesn't mean your immature and need to grow up... it simply implies that in relation to his own personal view, you are perhaps deluded towards the situation.

I will see what can be done about that.

About the click and radio refresh, its best you tune into Habboxlive from www.habboxlive.com (http://www.habboxlive.com) - there the radio does not refresh. You can also tune in from the forum were a pop up box is made instead :).

Habbox.com radio is there to promote the radio and allow people to listen to music whilst on Habbo, not really there for people who are there to scout through pages ;).

Thank you very much for giving us feedback, we appreciate it and I am sure the Habbox live management will act accordingly.

[Lepore]

Tbh it was plain rude to what he has said in his comment.

I.E. Keep things to yourself. I suppose maybe thats just me? Or am i wrong.
And yes we are djs and we do get appalled by such comments.
I am not saying not to have your own opinions.
Just dont go and shove them into someones face.

[Axel]

You're comparing Habbox radio to Kiss radio... lmao.

And it isn't all 'grundger' or whatever you call it, whenever I go on it it's always crappy pop music, so that's why I only go on it from time to time. I think the radio should have different shifts for different music, like rap hour, rock hour etc.

Hmm people often say things like that. It might be a good idea maybe if you had a mix of 2 different genres though to give it more variety.

It would be difficult to do that at primetime because well, its primetime lol and people would complain like hell if you weren't playing their requests.

Also I think maybe if you only cater for a specific audience it makes it slightly difficult for the next DJ. Like if there's been one genre of say rock and then a DJ comes on with dance, pop etc. It could mean they lose a lot of listeners.

[Axel]

Or just spread the listeners out over different time periods.

[Hecktix]

Why should Habbox DJs buy or download music they dont like just for you?

I think DJs have a right to play the style of music they like, if you don't like it turn it off.

Habbox Live should state which DJs play which type of music :)

Then you would get a set amount of people tuning in for each show, and not just people tuning in, hearing a crappy song, and turning it off.

The amount of times i've heard "Flying the flag" on HxLive has nearly caused me to commit suicide though.

Lmao rep for you <3

[Axel]

I think that is the best way to do it, the only disadvantage is people who aren't online for the show they're missing... but hey, there's always WMP as back up. I think the radio will get more listeners if there is alotted genre times, it may seem like less, but for each hour or so there will so many listeners who have turned off or turned on so it will work out just about the same. As I said, I hardly ever listen to Habboxlive because it's like pop song, pop song, pop song, rap song, good song, pop song, rap song, then back to the start. They hardly play anything I like, so I just stick to good old WMP.

[Hecktix]

and at Mexel.

The stats are actually correct.

They are just a bit sneaky.

As the radio is on Hx.com, when people go onto Hx.com thats +1 listener for the radio, and Hx.com is a bloody popular site.

[---MAD---]

My personal opinion is if you DJ you are DJing for the public therefore play the music they want not what you want. Thats my opinion. Whether DJs follow that or not is not something I am willing to force upon although I will advice the Habboxlive management about it :).

that means they have to buy (or illegally download, which you shouldn't really reccomend as a business) music they dislike..

i think that's unfair.
music generally takes up a lot of space on someone's PC, so why download aload of crap you dislike, for a reason as small as you are a DJ.

Like I said, shows should be given music genres.

[Axel]

But what the public want to hear is usually pop, us people who don't really like pop hardly get a say in the matter, that's why we don't tune in. My requests are usually ignored because the DJ doesn't have that band or song, because all they have is a ton of pop.

[,Jess,]

I think if you decide you want to become a DJ you should be prepared to download and play things you don't nessercairly like. Obviously you want your own imput in your shows but really you have to cater for the audience

[.Nickie]

Wow. i gotta say reading this thread is like o em ge. All i can say is that when i was a dj i wanted to do a show just for people who like rap, r'n'b and hip hop etc.. and i was told that i couldnt because of refusing requests.
Still though to this day i still think it would have worked.
And you lot who take the mick out of the djs about their voices are just sad.. no offence.. gosh dont you ever remeber being young? atleast they are doing it.. they are doing it for you to listen to and enjoy yourself... they are doing it off their own back.. they aint doing it for their own good, they do it to keep everyone tuned in. You are all part of the habbox community.. and habboxlive is part of it.. i just dont think it is fair to 'put down' habboxlive on a thread. maybe if u have a problem with something like it you should pm adzeh or another dj.
cause if i was a new person coming to the habbox forum and saw the people putting down parts of the thing why whould you bother tuning in? or staying? its just wrong.. yeah i might go on but its just sad of you lot to put it down, it aint fair on none of the djs

[darthvandjin]

If You All Non-Djs Think It Is Easy Getting To Everyones Request You Try And Do It Sometimes We Get 100 plus Request

[---MAD---]

If You All Non-Djs Think It Is Easy Getting To Everyones Request You Try And Do It Sometimes We Get 100 plus Request
Yeah thats the other thing. There are far too many requests for the DJ to handle.

Say each song is 3 minutes. A 60 minute show..20 songs max can be played (some songs are much longer and some are shorter) and also add time to do the shoutouts, talking and competitions. Not many songs can be played in the 1 hour if you add it up like that.

Having 100+ listeners, its not possible to play all the requests ;).

I'm really sorry I have to be off topic
But this made me lol. Even though all of our DJs are over 11 and quite AMAZING.

*prepares for infraction* sorrryy</3

[Grig]

Firstly I'd like to say we have no 11 year olds on our radio sation. Secondly we play a wide variety of songs, for example we play the classics like The Beatles et etc. These songs will always be popular with any generation. Thirdly we would appreciate some constructive critisism and not just disses and complaints. We are getting the quality of the streams better for all DJs and informing them of where the best quality is. Generally we also strive to improve our quality all the time, as it's not a professional radio station I think we're doing very well. Obviously we will have to invite people to parties as it's habbo based- I know some DJs do invite too much, but it can't be changed. In my opinion Habbox Live has actually never been better- we've got a lot of dedicated listeners who enjoy the shows and our timetable is nearly filled up daily.

[.:Normal...]

Okay I'm going to say my thoughts on this.

Yes, I do agree that a lot of the same songs are played a lot, but most of the time they are requests. On a regular day I get anywhere from 50-100 requests and we can't play EVERYTHING that is requested. And as far as the 'radio having bad quality' goes, it all has to do with the DJ and their streaming proporties. The radio itself is not bad quality. And tbh, I'm not just saying this because im a DJ but I've never heard a DJ yet with a show with bad quality but hey, that's just me.

I'm going to try to keep this a nice, not trying to start an argument post but honestly, I don't appreciate our staff being called names or all of the bashes here. We all work together very hard to keep this the number one radio on habbo. We are here purely for you. We take off an hour of our time to DJ, for you. Hey, I'm not complaining, I love DJing but just a little more respect and knowledge would be nice?

And as for my post above, I'm sorry but it really did make me lol quite a bit. Not because it's true (because it's not, we have no 11 year olds on this station) but just because I've heard it before on other radio stations. Just clearing this up ;)

Rep for you darlings.

[Tristan]

No offense to weec0, but he must use limewire or something to produce his music because the quality is always so damn poor. Now when I rarely tune in I look at the DJ Panel, if it says DJ weec or weec0 (whatever), I close it down.

The DJs need to be better imo.

[,Jess,]

The music quality is nessercairly down to where te music is from, normally you will find it is down to the settings on the encoder.

There are a lot of options on what to pick on the settings and some are better than others, I'm sure though if you tune in now the quality will be better :)

Well weec0 isnt a dj at habboxlive. And hasnt been for quite a while

[ShaneIsMe]

I have never listened to habbo radios purely because they all have really annoying pommish accents (no offence) but i cant understand what you say. And they always say "If you send me a f.r you get a free hc wooo" and all the "lets have a partay in da hallway". turns me off habbo radios :(

[Tristan]

Tbh my problem with hxl is their bloody high pitch voices.

-.-

I'd love to know who that is to be honest with you, please PM me their DJ name(s).

On topic: I don't particularly think that HabboxLive is over run with "grunge" music, in actual fact can somebody please define the "grunge music" in their own opinion so that I can get a clearer picture of exactly what they mean.

This does provide an interesting relation to current discussions by the HabboxLive management about variety of music, since it has become apparent that the same songs are being played, hour after hour. It was not actually considered that the genre of music might be turning people away, since, in my opinion, there is a very well mixed group of DJs, and music played.

We try to satisfy all people, but the majority is obviously where we focus as this will generally account for more than half of our listeners, and is obviously who we want to please the most. A previous music poll posted on the forum suggested that a large number of people preferred indie music, and a very small minority of people preferred rap. As a result, you rarely ever hear rap on air, and can 100% guarantee to hear at least 3 indie songs every hour.

Of course, we will try to counteract this problem, and post as many feedback polls, on the forum and HabboxLive.com, as possible in order to make a confident conclusion about what we need to do, and how, to make HabboxLive better and satisfy our listeners in the music department.

Any suggestions here about how we can reduce the number of songs that are overplayed (hour after hour by different DJs) would be appreciated and awarded with +rep.

Thanks.

There needs to be more of an emphasism on the music that is being played, than on the amount of parties they try to involve Habbos in, while being on air. They're on for an hour at most, usually, during that time they shouldn't be spending 5 minutes shouting at us to get to Hallway 1, 2 or whatever, but more just making sure that the music is played.

Whilst I know that you DJ to have fun, you also need to make sure you listen to what the listeners want, or you'll end up DJing to yourself - And that's no fun, at all.

Yea I know that, Once on thinkhabbo about 200 listeners listened to some girl being told of by her mum and she was crying, it was well funny.

hxl was down hill as soon as jrh left to take hxr to a new site. as usual hx fire all the good staff / DJ's, coz there's people like bethie (birmz) who would play any time of song you requested, when i tune in it's always 1 type of music. also the DJ's always sound like they've got no balls which is why people tune out coz of the voices.

bring back hxr. :8

And Hollywood, not all 14 year olds have their voices broken. If we were to include an age limit, because of voice, it would be discrimination :).

People aren't just hired because they have a deep voice...

They are hired because of the quality of their application, their experience, and their apparent ability which can be seen from their voice clips and application content.

We aren't going to turn good DJs away because they have high voices!

,Jess, And .:Normal.. are terrible, Weec0 and many many more.

Are you serious? They are girls....

Girls cannot help their voices being high as it is a part of their physical characteristics. Unless you are inferring them to just be bad DJs, in which case I disagree completely, as will many others.

Weec0 has not worked for HabboxLive for months...?

[today]

i think the radio needs decent layout im yet to see one...

Well I just randomly picked names because I don't know any of the DJ's as I only spend about 10 minutes listening to the radio to be turned away in disgust, Maybe if you listen to the radio more often then you may agree with me.

[Adzeh]

And in your expert opinion, which radio sites have good layouts?

And @ Earthquake, thats exactly what's wrong, you haven't got a clue who you are actually talking about. You've just whacked the names of a couple of very very good DJs down, and totally debased them without any possible back up for it.

If you gave me some Djs names, and a list of their faults, fair enough. But name dropping is just silly...

habbohut is too.

You said you only spent 10 minutes listening to the radio

and you're telling him to tune in more?

I doubt from 10 minutes you can have this opinion from the radio

& Whats the point in picking random names, he asked you which djs you were referring to. If you pick different people you're problem won't get solved, will it?

[Adzeh]

Because HabboHut gets loads of listeners and is so succesful nowadays?

[today]

were not discussing the listeners were discussing the layout therefor stay ontopic yeah?

[Dan2nd]

Why don't you just say you can only play a song once every 2 hours or something? That way people won't get annoyed by repeated songs and it'd kind of force people to play wider variaty of music.

I'm not much of an expert on this because I know everyone would hate my music

[the wombats]

this current dj is one of the bad ones, they play a crap music genre. i'm listening through video lan client and all they seem to have on is gospel music? is it the auto dj or summit? if not please sort the dj out..

[Paulio]

HabboxLive: DJ Immi [3 (108/300 @ 32 kbs) - must be doing summin right???What you have got to remember is that most times with HabboxLive you are 1 in 100 sometimes maybe 200 so it aint really possible to get your favorite music played over and over again.

You need to look for a DJ that plays your type of music.

[Bomb-Head]

I've listened to HxL since 2005 and I've not once heard 'an 11 year old screaming get down to hallway1!11!'. Yes, a DJ might have asked listeners to go to the hallway for a party, but what's wrong with that - it's a Habbo based radio :S

You sure you're tuned into HabboxLive? The DJ on air in the last 30minutes (which is how long I've been tuned in for) has actually been going through requests and playing for what people asked for.

i've heard that loads of times, and they do scream it.... it's like they think the listeners are deaf. i think they try to shout it tho.

[---MAD---]

hxl was down hill as soon as jrh left to take hxr to a new site. as usual hx fire all the good staff / DJ's, coz there's people like bethie (birmz) who would play any time of song you requested, when i tune in it's always 1 type of music. also the DJ's always sound like they've got no balls which is why people tune out coz of the voices.

bring back hxr. :8
I am sorry but you cannot go back to the past. So many of those DJs don't DJ / play Habbo etc.

Well I just randomly picked names because I don't know any of the DJ's as I only spend about 10 minutes listening to the radio to be turned away in disgust, Maybe if you listen to the radio more often then you may agree with me.
I think you now have proven you have no real argument. If you don't tune into the radio long enough and not even know whos the DJ your talking about and not even know if its all the DJs, how can you say what you are saying :S?

Tune in for long enough, find out the DJs name then report it to adzeh either in this thread if its still around or PM him about it and send me a copy.

Amg that's a first. I usually get that I sound 23. Thanks for that. And as for Jess, her voice is not high at all, it's very sexy tbh. :) But seeing that you posted that you've just thrown names out and you've never really listnened to HxL, I can see why you've said this. Great backup you've got there. That's really nice for you to just take some random DJs off the list who you've never heard before and bash us. Not to mention a Head and Senior DJ.

You have a right to your opinion, but please like I said before, have some backup. Don't just take some names randomly off the list and say they are terrible when you've never even heard them.

[Ashhizzle]

So you are saying there fake?

If thats what you think that is fine.

I think us DJs do a pretty good job.
And I understand some people are saying the server is sketchy and that some DJs do need more of a variety in there music. Understandable.
*cough* biased.

Obv dj's are gunna say oh yeah its good.

[,Jess,]

The DJs can see how much effort is going into hxl and can see how much it has improved especially recently. Not just throgh the actual shows but with planning for them etc

Yes some people will have biased views but at the end of the day you don't know how hard people are working and when people start making comments with nothing to back them up it just turns into a slanging match which really doesn't help.

[.:Normal...]

*cough* biased.

Obv dj's are gunna say oh yeah its good.

I can understand why you feel that way because it can sound biased since a DJ is saying it but tbh, there is a lot going on behind the scenes that nobody knows about except for the DJs. Like I said in my post before, we work really hard to keep this station the number one radio on habbo. And yes, we are going to stick up for our DJs because we are all working and coming together for you guys, the listners. I do agree that we can have a few scratches here and there but you have to remember, we're not payed professionals, most of us are kids who just get on and play some music for you guys in our spare time. Nothing is perfect in life, even if we were professional.

Exactly. I think that goes for more than just DJs. All other departments require far more planning and work that just the end result you see (in hxl's case the djing).

Its not very nice to attack a department which management and DJs themself put a lot of effort into and yet you don't even listen long enough to see the radio is much better than you think it is. I think Hxl took a long time to get on its feet after Hxr was taken from Habbox. Adzeh works his socks off to get the best out of what he has and always works to improve the departments he runs.

If you looked at the pictures that people posted of themselves, most of them are emos grunger or w.e so that explains the crap music (no offence)

[Finkelstien]

After reading through all these posts (some) I had such a good laugh to myself I couldn’t stop!
The funny thing is, the topic is about some so called 11 year old DJ's we have, which might I add god knows who exactly these 11 year olds are, but most of the people throwing mindless and pointless comments about are actually acting like 11 year olds themselves tbh.

The thing is yes you wonderful people are the listeners and us DJ's try to dedicate 100% of our time and effort into make your listening experience so much better through every show we do every single day but at times its hard for us to be able to focus on one or two listeners when we have 200 on our hands. So ask yourself do you honestly feel that some of the comments said here are fair based on that? No sorry they not.

Now I speak for myself and everyone at HabboxLive in saying that we totally appreciate your feedback and I must admit I love it because with every peace of constructive criticism I get it helps me to become a far better DJ. Now in that sentence I added the word constructive there’s a big god dam difference between acting cheap and common on a forum or just making your voice heard in a dignified way which unfortunately some just cant do clearly.

Secondly as DJ's how the hell are we meant to play the music that every single listener likes or should I say approves of? What you might like EarthQuake other listeners might hate so we can’t possibly please all 200 on average. So what we try and do is incorporate music verity into our shows. A bit of pop, rock etc. I understand in saying that some DJ's do just only play a certain genre on there shows and I don’t like it either, I tune out tbh. Thing is don’t make it out to be as if ALL DJ's do because we don’t. Also if you have a issue with a current DJ on air or the music he or she is playing. tune out then we not begging you to stay tuned and to be frank with some attitudes like yours Id rather get sick than entertain you as a DJ but we have to.

The point of me saying this is, us as DJ's work around the clock to bring you a excellent radio but I will be god dammed if I have to still go running around to please one or two narrow minded listeners who have issues. Don’t like HabboxLive? No ones asking you to tune in. We DJ for listeners who appreciate us not the one or two who have nothing better to do with there time than to run down two fantastic and highly talented Head DJ's who dedicate every second of everyday to Habboxlive. So by all means share your comments but keep it dignified. So thanks to all those who actually shared some of there views and complaints in this thread constructively.

[niaux]

200? well be realistic that habbox (radio) only gets the listeners it gets because the radio is on the frontpage of habbox.com and habbox is a trusted rare values site

[,Jess,]

Err I don't understand exactly what you mean..



200? well be realistic that habbox (radio) only gets the listeners it gets because the radio is on the frontpage of habbox.com and habbox is a trusted rare values site

I think that yes some listeners are people who just go on www.habbox.com (http://www.habbox.com). However it's through habbox.com that we as a radio sation attract new listeners. People may not visit the site to listen to the radio but while looking at rare values may hear the radio and decide that they're going to stay tuned in.

At first maybe when the radio was put on habbox.com I think we didn't have a massive constant listener count but I can tell from the increase of people sending requests, getting involved in shows and events and going to the party rooms on habbo that habboxlive as a radio station is getting increasingly popular.

@ Ready-T woah, nice post I agree with everything you said and understand exactly where you're coming from, it would be nice to think that a few other certain people could read and understand that in the same way I did :)

Err wth has that got to do with this thread :S?

[niaux]

the person who made this thread said that whenever they tune into habboxlive the djs always play emo and grunger music

[joshuar]

I myself don't listen to HabboxLive, mainly because I would rather listen to my own music.

But I think that a great variety of music from a DJ is what makes a show successful. When listening to Radio 1 (it wakes me up when i need to be up), I notice it go from Rock, to R'n'B, to Pop.

Now I know that HabboxLive is far from the success of Radio 1, we don't even have an office :( however it doesn't mean that we shouldn't have a variety of music, as not everyone likes Rock, as you have clearly said.

I would think that HabboxLive Management will take what you've said into account and talk to DJs about opening a variety of music, while keeping everybody happy with the music that is being played on the air :)

[,Jess,]

the person who made this thread said that whenever they tune into habboxlive the djs always play emo and grunger music

That's not actually true there is a wide variety of music played on habboxlive. All the DJs play music from different genres, or at least try to in their shows. If you tuned in you would see this was not the case.

[Finkelstien]

Can we just stop jumping around to hundreds of different topics. This is a joke someone starts off by saying one thing and then someone says another. Like Jess is saying yes we agree with you there, that alot of our listeners are from the Habbox site so what the hell is so wrong with that?

Habbox and HabboxLive are both the same sites, owned by the same people and managed by the same people so why shouldnt we have our radio on that site aswel? Whats the big god dam crime? We all form part of Habbox as a whole. HabboxLive benfits the Habbox site and the forum because we advertise both on our shows thus Habbox benefits HabboxLive in that many go to the site to seek out the rare values and through that we attract awsome new listeners to our site. So its mutual thing every site helps the other.
But again what is the god dam crime in that because if some are trying to say , oh but your listeners are actually fake then think about this. On habbox theres a small thing called the mute or stop button on the radio player, so If people viewing the Habbox site didnt want to listen to our radio they would do just that but the majority arnt so thats food for thought.

Secondly about the music once again, we have alot of different DJ's and each DJ has a certain way or rather tallent he or she brings forward to HabboxLive so some might play a certain genre of music because they like it but then the next DJ will play the total opposite. Thats why a radio has different DJ's and if you dont like the current DJ on air mute the radio and wait for the DJ you love to listen to.

To be honest this thread is getting old and everything said here has been said about 10 times by 10 different people so lets give it a break?

[Kissed]

I'm sitting here absolutely lol'ing myself to death at you all dissing us.
& I havn't even finished reading the thread.

If a DJ's voice annoys you, or you don't like the type of music they are playing, please please please listen to others. Were all totally different, how we talk, what we talk about, what we play & how much time we spend talking.
You really need to try a few out before you start classing us all exactly the same - WE FRIGGIN AREN'T.
Some of you are like OMGZ GRUNGE MUSICCC!!111ONE1!!1
Some people like that kind of music?
Do you think the radio revolves around you kind of people who can't appreciate more than one type of genre of music?
I can honestly say that not in any one of my shows have I ever played the same type of genre of music throughout my show, ever.
And to my knowledge alot of the DJ's are exactly the same.
Some DJ's prefer one type of music, and tbh that is totally upto them. You don't like it? tune out.
But NEVER judge us all from one dislike of one DJ.

We aren't clones!

I have alot more to say but my mind is dying of tiredness.

But please, don't nock HabboxLive radio untill you have listened to every DJ. and if you still think its aload of shizz - then fair enough!

I think its bloody disgusting how you can all sit there judging us all when in reality you have most probably sat and listened for 10 minutes to one DJ.

The radio is aimed at all age groups (HENCE THE FACT HABBO RANGES FROM 11 YEAR OLDS TO SOMETIMES 18 YEAR OLDS.)
And yes, most of the DJ's cater for the younger audience.
Ask around and find out what type of person likes which DJ, and then make your decision in which to listen to. Dont just tune in and think that's what it's like 24/7.

Kay i'm finished now.


Edit; stop calling us emo grungers. what's with the labellinggggg.

[Elkaa]

God it's like the war of DJ's vs Everybody else in this thread.. Music needs variety, but only so much can be given. Request, beg, sorted.

[Rayne]

What's with all the hating?

I'm fine with voicing your opinions... But when it goes to out right dissing us, that's kinda harsh. Like practically everyone has said, if you don't like the DJ... Tune out. Tune in again in the next hour or something, still don't like the DJ... Tune out. Keep doing that until you find a DJ you like, then tune into them when you can.

Sheeesh, and about the music thing. What do you think the request line is there for?

[Yoshimitsui]

The Dj's are good in my opinion. You just need to listen in more before you judge. All are different and are all good dj's ;)

Thets not.

[DJCT08]

After reading through this thread I have the following comments to make:

I know for a fact that every single DJ on HabboxLive puts their time and effort in to keeping the radio running.

For example, DJ Normal broadcasts at 1.00am sometimes here in the UK but as she is based in New York - the time will be different due to different time zones. Last night (7-8 July) I took over the radio from 3.00am and queued up songs til 10.00am - you don't know how greatful you are to even have a DJ do that.

Besides the point, if you don't like what music we are playing then go to www.habboxlive.com (http://www.habboxlive.com) and use the request line at the bottom of the page. We will receive your requests and do our best to play them, sometimes your request may not get played by that particular DJ so therefore send your request to the DJ that is on the air NEXT.

Also, i'm going to rant on a little bit further - DJ Jess and DJ Normal are 2 of the best god damn DJs we have on HabboxLive - do not slate them down for having squeaky voices or whatever because tbh I don't think they have and too bad if you think that as they are girls - how many girls do you know of who have "manly" voices. In fact, i'd like to point out that every DJ on HabboxLive are all quite good.

I'd like to point out that we have no 11 year olds working on HabboxLive - so you must be tuned to a different station if you're hearing "Go down to Hallway1" in a really squeaky voice.

As a Habbo related station, every DJ does their best to promote the use of Habbo Hotel. Therefore we shout out to party rooms going on inside the Hotel. Also, music wise - themed hours would not work as the listeners' taste varies.

Indie music may take up most of the airwaves but that is because it is popular music, hardly any pop is played on the station but we do our best to offer a variety. All the DJs who have posted on here work hard every day to produce a show in which listeners will like, we can only play so many requests throughout the time of broadcast so excuse us if we don't play them.

I'd like to add one more point though, if you think the quality of music is poor then maybe it would be wise to adjust your volume settings. Some of you have probably got it stuck on max through your volume control which makes the quality of the music sound terrible even on the best of soundcards/speakers.

If you have any suggestions on how to make Habbox Live better or what could be improved please do not hesitate to PM Adzeh or --MAD-- .. but please remember we do our best to entertain you for the hour(s) we broadcast so please do not slate us down as IMO you are being inconsiderate.

I dislike the fact on the Habbox main site it always plays when you refresh. You really should edit it so that when you go on another page it remains quiet. As for the music selection, it is very sucky but sometimes (although rarely) they play interesting music which I then buy/download on site which you pay for stuff.

If you thınk every single person HAS to have a deep voıce to dj then you are SAD. Sure some djs have bad voıces ıncludıng myself but should i give up somethıng i enjoy doing just cuz my voıce? No thanks.
Constructıve crıtıcısm does NOT mean sayıng to djs to go make theır voıces break.

As stated by alcohol, limewire is illegal you noob. So that tells us why your quality is bad 24/7.

[DJCT08]

Well if you're too lazy to do it then don't moan about it. Another suggestion is to press mute on the player (if you can't see the mute button then right click on the player and go to Volume > Mute)


As for the music selection, it is very sucky but sometimes (although rarely) they play interesting music which I then buy/download on site which you pay for stuff.

If it is sucky as you say then please use the request line on www.habboxlive.com and request a song. Music we play is based on upon our taste and listeners' taste so for example if MCR is requested then we will play it.

I, myself am not an avid fan of rock, infact I prefer Dance and RnB to be perfectly honest but as I have a request line full of requests for popular tunes - then I will play them.

May I ask, what music people like. So we can get a rough idea, I know there was a poll on Habbox.com / Habboxlive.com some time ago but you seem to be complaining there is not enough variety. Lets sort this out now.

As stated by alcohol, limewire is illegal you noob. So that tells us why your quality is bad 24/7.

Limewire technically isn't illegal, it's a file sharing program. However it's illegal to share copyrighted programs (aka almost all of what Limewire has on offer) and so most of the things you download are illegal. Limewire itself isn't illegal and so for all we know the DJs who use Limewire may only download music with valid license information and are thus legally downloading their music. Then again, they might not... I am just looking at this from both sides of the argument :).

[DJCT08]

As stated by alcohol, limewire is illegal you noob. So that tells us why your quality is bad 24/7.

Limewire is illegal - well done :eusa_clap:eusa_clap:eusa_clap - but it does not tell YOU why and if the music quality is bad. I know that when I download I select 128 KBPS / 192 KBPS.

Please read my comments about music quality as I posted earlier:


if you think the quality of music is poor then maybe it would be wise to adjust your volume settings. Some of you have probably got it stuck on max through your volume control which makes the quality of the music sound terrible even on the best of soundcards/speakers.

[Tristan]

Those that use limewire - I'm sure wouldn't search for music that they want but only download files that are licensed and legal to download via Limewire. :rolleyes:
You'd have to look through thousands of files and I have used Limewire and never have I come across a file that is available for download and is also legal.

EDIT: (at CT) It tells me when I tune in? Or thankfully, tuned in (in weec0's case).

[DJCT08]

urmum - Limewire is a completely different issue here.

[Tristan]

DJCT08 - No it is not.

That's an assumption I don't want to make because there is a chance that we would be incorrect. I know it's likely, but we can't be certain so unless they admit it I don't think people should pass comment on it.
Regardless of that, this thread is supposed to be about improving the apparent lack of variety HabboxLive has to it's music, I don't see why the source of their music became part of the argument? If people couldn't download this music free and illegally (which almost everyone does) then the variety would be even less anyway...

I would think a good way of getting popular song ideas would be from places that professional play music, like Radio 1 and Music TV channels. I myself don't find it a big problem and I don't listen alot, but when I do most of the songs aren't my taste.

I think the disabling for 31 days is a bit odd. I think disabling for a session online is a bit more useful or the option to disable completely, but that is hard to do as far as expiring cookies go. Maybe the option to enable it would be better?

[DJCT08]

DJCT08 - No it is not.

We were talking about how we can add more variety to the music we play on HabboxLive. The quality of music or however it may be downloaded is not part of the "argument".

So, yet again, I ask:


What genre of music do YOU want to hear more of on HabboxLive ?

[Tristan]

Well we may be expected to talk about the factor of the low variety of music, but the quality should be looked at also. Then again, the only bad quality music that I heard on HabboxLive came from the former DJ that I mentioned.
Back when it was run by others, when the application forms were released and applications were welcomed - there would always be a question about their music, whether it is downloaded legally or not.
Anyway, limewire produces music for download that is not legal through the program. Limewire is one of the least legal programs that you can use to download music and so, the music downloads should be paid for and downloaded legally, using programs like iTunes (DOWNLOADED via iTunes, not just hosted).

Music TV channels consist of Dance, RnB, Rock Music. Examples:
www.thebox.co.uk/playlist.asp
www.thehits-tv.co.uk/playlist.asp
www.smashhits-tv.co.uk/playlist.asp

But as far as i'm aware we already play a lot of this music.

[GommeInc]

Genre is hard to work around really. Maybe the problem is with the variety, there should be more of one genre than of another. You could do RnB half hours or something to that extent, maybe?

EDIT: That's probably down to personal taste though and those channels do offer at random times different choices of music.

I think Habbox Radio needs a variety of DJs that have a selection of songs they like, and then include in their slot that they are playing a certain genre of music. Like Radio 1, in the morning in they have a mixture of mainily pop, rock etc and at night club. But instead of this, because you normally work in an hourly basis, have it down to the DJ playing around with a certain genre. I probably rambled and amde little sense, tell me if it didn't.

Whether music is downloaded legally/illegally is not an issue. If you want to download via iTunes then that's your choice really. The low quality of music could be because we have a 32 Kbps stream, however it is listenable and considering stations like Radio 1, Galaxy & Kiss all stream at 32-64 Kbps, and the music quality of their streams are fine then I can't really see the issue.

[DJCT08]

I agree with you. However, RnB zones or hours would have to be looked in to - due to people tuning in to hear Rock/Indie.

PM Adzeh, and offer it as a suggestion though.

All of the DJs on HabboxLive that I have listened to never had such a bad quality of music. It's not down to the Stream or anything else other than the downloading program.

Just seen your edit, so making a fresh point. Thanks by the way for your constructive suggestions.

I see what you mean, I listen to Radio 1 quite a lot but find they are too rock based as you will normally hear The Klaxons or The Holloways played a few times during the day.

Taking on board your comments about variety of music though...
How do I word this ...

Themed shows would probably work but we also have to look at the listener stats. If they drop it means that the majority of people are not liking what they are hearing and therefore tuning out.

I'm sure most Djs would love to play rock all hour or rnb whatever their taste but we play the music we get the most requests for.

Tell us how to vary the music - is there on genre of music that is lacking on HabboxLive?

I would need to listen to Habbox Live for a good week to come up with an idea of what genres are lacking. Maybe you could remove the request line at certain times in the schedule, so you play for a few minutes some classic and chart songs, then open the request line for people ask for their songs? I am certain a DJ won't have such an acquired taste that his taste in music would not be liked by other people with the same taste in genre.

Maybe you should trial it, and compare listener stats at the same time, then collectively make a mental tally board which you then allocate hours for DJs to work around for certain genres. Like Friday could have 5 hours of dance, 1 of charts songs from every genre, and a few hours of rock etc etc THEN work in the requests.

[DJCT08]

I love your idea of 5 hours of Dance for a Friday night.

Well, as I'm only a radio DJ, i'll get Adzeh and Head DJs etc to have a look at this particular thread and take on board the ideas people have suggested.

Please do tune in to Habbox Live this week and then send us your suggestions again. Either via this thread, by PMin Adzeh &/or --MAD--

At the moment, Jess is on and current track is Supermal feat. Luciana - Bigger Than Big .. this is a dance track - so it proves we are covering at least the dance music genre too.

EDIT: I'm not on at all this week until Friday but I will have a word if DJs and get them to trial the 'Non Request' idea. It sounds good and I certainly like what i'm hearing.

[Jõnathan]

Dance is okay, but no MC 'songs'.
Please, for heaven's sake, NO MC SMALLY OR MC LYRIC OR W/E.
The result of playing 5 hours of that will lead to the over-population of this forum by charvars.

[e5..]

also I think when on habbox.com and u click to get on another page the radio should stay on! lol... and ye its all moshy-fied ;/

[DJCT08]

Thanks for your feedback and suggestions.

It wouldn't be 5 hours of dance music :p the maximum hours DJs are allowed is 2-3 hours anyway and shows which focus on one genre are trialled first (based upon listeners' views).

I have informed HxL staff about this thread anyway so from now on any comments/suggestions, please be constructive.

Thanks
ct

[joshuar]

Well maybe a HabboxLive Playlist Producer could be introduced to form a playlist of songs that should be played throughout the day, with spaces for the request line to be used.

This way, the DJs look at the playlist and see what song they should play next, the playlist constructed on new music, requested music, and some from other genres.

This is only an idea, but it would avoid hearing the same song too many times in a day, and possibly music taste issues.

[jackass]

Okay, I've got really sick of the DJ's on habbox playing the grunger music, Everytime I visit the radio they always have the same old rubbish on, I've sent in numerous requests but theirs ALWAYS grunger/goth music playing, And I feel its a reason listeners are tuning out, Maybe you could play more chavy, James morrison, You know, 21st century rnb/pop/party music? And maybe you should get a clearer radio sound because not being funny but it seems really poor, Look at Kiss's radio its really clear but habbox is really poor, So maybe improving the music, And the radio itself, It would attract ALOT more listeners.

Edit// Also maybe instead of click on a link on habbox.com and the radio being refreshed, Maybe you should do something clubhabbo do with the pages.

LOL! Sorry, but that made me laugh.

Goth/Emo/Rock/Metal music is the best - I don't think they play enough of it.

[Paulio]

I'm sure Habbox would get more complaints if they played more chavvy music than rock etc ;)

Anyway this thread is getting boring now, it should be closed.

[DJCT08]

Can some one give me an insight in to what chavvy music is. I mean, like their own opinion.

Also, rock music isn't the best but it's what listeners' prefer and we do play enough of it.

If you want your music on NOW i'm doing the request fest - so tune in >> www.habboxlive.com

So far i've had requests for:

Amy Winehouse
Green Day
My Chemical Romance
Lordi
Maroon 5
Rihanna
Toybox
Natasha Bedingfield


So the music is rather varied tonight and I'll keep an eye on what comes out the most too. I will talk to HxL Staff about a 'playlist producer' also.

Please keep your comments/suggestions coming in. Constructive ones though please :).

Many Thanks

Actually it has nothing to do with where the music is from. When I first started out DJ'en my music was bad quality and it was from CDs etc. Legal music.

It was because of my encoder, now I could sit here and type you out a guide on encoders and sam broadcaster but I'm not. Basically there is no set guide on what setting to have your encoder for HxL which is why sometimes a DJ may get it wrong. Trust me when I say there should be no more bad quality coming from the setting of the encoder because I have told people what setting is best :)

I think 5 hours is a bit much. You have to remember that although mainstream radio stations do things like this our audience is different. As it gets later we get more international listeners and they do not nessercairly want to hear all one genre of music, we as a radio station should be aiming to please everyone and attract new listeners at all times. However I could be wrong and it doesn't hurt to try ideas :)

I think a lot of the DJs try and put variety into their song choices and I think although people are saying there isn't much variety, there is. I listen a hell of a lot to habboxlive, in fact if I'm online I'll be tuned in unless I'm busy etc or it's me on air :P.

Also a lot of HabboxLive staff have seen this thread and are making sure now that they are playing a variety of music, me included ;)

[Jambe]

Dont listen then? i like the djs tbh :))

LEPORE LEPORE!!!

[Kissed]

I posted, but decided it was worthless :]

[beth]

hxl was down hill as soon as jrh left to take hxr to a new site. as usual hx fire all the good staff / DJ's, coz there's people like bethie (birmz) who would play any time of song you requested, when i tune in it's always 1 type of music. also the DJ's always sound like they've got no balls which is why people tune out coz of the voices.

bring back hxr. :8
ooh. my name.

anyway, when i worked for hxl (february-may) there was a good range of music and there were a good range of genrised shows & everything was equal, but then hxl hired too many djs, in my honest opinion, and too many djs who listen to the same type of music. i can gaurantee that if i tuned into hxl for the rest of the evening i would hear paramore about 20 times. saying that though, when i worked there people would complain but never request. dj's aren't pyschic. if you want your song played, request it. but i do believe the current dj's need widen their musical horizons slightly.
c: just my opinion.

[Tristan]

Actually it has nothing to do with where the music is from. When I first started out DJ'en my music was bad quality and it was from CDs etc. Legal music.

Actually it does.

[--ss--]

I don't know if anyone has realised this but most of the forum want more rock music etc but the people that actualy tune into radios are more of the 'noob' sort and they're more into hip hop , r&b , chav stuff pop / dance etc
If hardcore rock or w/e was played maybe more people from the forum would tune in but a few people from the actual hotel will tune in , I think habbox needs to target the habbo's that actually tune into radios more and will go off and advertise to their friends etc

[Dan2nd]

this thread is very old and lame now... I think as long as HxL are getting people to tune in their obviously doing something right..

[Earthquake]

[[DC]eption]

,Jess, And .:Normal.. are terrible, Weec0 and many many more.

Dont bloody listein then! You wouldn't watch a TV program you didnt like would you? so dont listein to djs you dont like.

And if you want a certain type of music www.youtube.com (http://www.youtube.com) listein to all the songs you perosnaly like and then we wont have to put up with you moaning either.

[,Jess,]

Actually it does.

Okay yeah obviously if you used limewire you could get some crap quality music

but i know that music from limewire, music from legal downloads and music from CDs can all sound the same good quality

The encoder makes a hell of a lot of difference so just drop the subject

[Finkelstien]

So everyone who's posted is lame?
No not everyone like I said before some people in this thread post constructive criticism while others just go out of there way to prove a pathetic point and tbh all it proves is that you a narrow minded fool.

In the end of the day every single god dam DJ can not jump to YOUR every complaint and whim to please YOU by playing the music YOU want to listen to. We have many listeners on our site who all prefer a different genre or type of music to just YOU! That’s why we have different DJ's because they all bring a different feel to Hxl.

Also there’s the request line, as DJ's we try all the time to play the music you the listeners want to listen to so if we get a song that a listener would like to hear, why should we ignore that listener and the music he or she likes but rather play the music you demand EarthQuake? That’s a bit conceited tbh.

Now if some of you choose to carry on being narrow minded and refuse to compromise in understanding that us as DJ's do our very best to bring you quality radio then its sad. Lastly if you don’t like the current DJ on because he or she plays the certain genre you dislike then TUNE OUT and wait for the DJ you prefer.

Honestly this thread has gone on long enough and tbh it is getting pathetic because everyone is pulling at straws to come up with something minor to carry it on.

Everything that has needed to be said has been said.

Thank you. Most is crap but yes, quite a bit of the content for download is of good condition.
He still used limewire though which is illegal and most of his songs must be most of the bad quality items.
I still think that it is limewire which made his quality rubbish but oh well.

Umm nope I heard him DJ on another site recently and his quality was perfect, which probably means it was his encoder settings :)

If you're reffering to any staff fired in the last few days then I advise you to *removed*.

The reasons they were fired didn't have anything to do with the quality of their dj'en. I would just post them here but I'm not sure if I'm allowed so stop trying to be smart.

At the end of the day I still see no post from you in which you have put across a valid point with evidence to back it up.

This started as a perfectly reasonable thread with reasonable requests and then it got out of hand.

To the listeners, let me say that while the DJs do try to please you, they do work as VOLUNTEERS so while they are prepared to play what the listeners like above their own tastes, they aren't about to go out and buy hundreds of dollars of CDs or songs off of ITunes that they dislike.

To the DJs, although you all work very hard, its important to make sure that you don't take criticism to heart, and look at as a way to improve, as opposed to a personal affront to your character. Its constructive criticism, and although some people got a bit harsh, you have to just ignore them because plenty respect and value you for the work you do.

Thread closed as its gotten out of hand, Radio Management will be addressing the issue in the future and a new thread may be created assuming its kept under control.
