16k Legal songs.
Seriously, lets estimate at $1 a song.
Ohh wait, thats $16,000 for that.

Think about it

Now go do a quick Google as to how much full radio equipment and a sound proof room accumulates to. Done that? Good. Hardly a drop in the ocean eh?

Well done, but a full studio is alot more a sonifex s2 or a soundcraft 10 series broadcast desk is around that on it own, then with Mics on top can be up to $2k a throw, then with rack equipment another $4k. Thats over 22k on its own just for the basics, if he has playout systems, Broadcast CD Players ect cost can easily hit 30k no problems.

dont forget the desk its all built into and the computers/server etc..

I wouldn't hire someone purely because he/she has a home studio or because they own thoushands of songs, personally it's all down to wether they can do the job. Anyone can buy all the equpment and all those songs. I'd reccomend you putting a demo of your self up on here, perhaps from one of those FM stations that you previously mentioned. Just so people can have an insight to what you're like.

Well said but personally you have to draw a line somewere, someone who is excellent but has crap equipment the audience will tune out from. Take most habbo DJ's for instance, very loud almost distorting music and a very quiet tinny voice. Having the correct kit also makes you alot more slick, not having to worry if everything is ok with a decent level of stuff you can have 100% confidence that when you push that fader up everything will sound fine.

I do agree though you do need to have a personality or else your a member of the all the gear no idea crew.

It just doesn't seem right lol. If you were so professional why would you be offering your self on a pixelated fansite?

Wow!

This post was simple. A guy wanted to advertise that he is available to do some DJ'ing for the website and everyone jumps on his back. It is either jealousy or people just like to pick fights.

So what if he has 16k songs. (Ripping old CDs - who says he bought them all. Buying online) We don't know how much he spends or his parents spend on them. It isn't impossible!

A studio at his house, why is this not possible? Why do people question it. His family could be a music loving family, who said that HE bought it all himself.

He has been on with other radio stations. This isn't impossible either. You can work in the UK 16 years old and above. He is 17, so why can he not have worked there?

Let's just give the guy a break, welcome him to the forum and if you have to criticise at least wait until you have heard what he can do.

Good luck with it pal, you have my support.

Because he wants to, whats your problem.

Why is everyone being such ******s :S he can do what he likes, big deal if he's got 16k songs or not. So just er shut up.

I wish you best of luck try StanceFM like Richie said, their pretty amazing

+rep to the person above, Minstrels and er some other people.
