HabboxLive Silence.

[xxMATTGxx]

Perhaps it wouldn't be such a bad thing if the auto dj was only switched on between certain hours, you could call it 'Non stop music' but then again if it was implemented and staff agreed that the auto dj would go on from x to x I reckon you'd get a few moaners who would want to pop on air as they please. Then some others may abuse it and just leave it switched on during prime times. In other words, have a set perm show for the auto dj so those who may want to tune in just for constant chart music with no interruptions, will know the set hours.

Late night/early morning?

Ill sing, give me the encoder details.

Want to sing together? Would be one hell of a song.

Really depends, perhaps if it does go ahead as a trial do a poll for the habboxlive department to vote on as they'll be the ones trying to book up slots.

And hey the chances are it might fail but then again putting it on a two week trial is better than having another 12 of these threads next year. That way instead of saying 'it might fail' we can say 'It was trialed and failed' or for all we know it could be a massive hit nd stun us all!!!

hxl should just stream music, that will solve the radio offline problem

[Kardan]

It's a tough one... Having it just play music whenever its offline can't be done, because the DJ's just won't do anything...

Having it at low peak could work, but doesn't HxL have 3 groups of DJs? European, American, Australian? So if we have it in off peak hours, wouldn't the Australian group then get away with putting in less hours?

There's advantages and disadvantages on both sides really.

I'm not sure if there are any international djs anymore, I remember a few weeks ago they said they had two or something.

Well, that's a bit crap...I'm sure I read somewhere that they still have groups of DJs... Whats the point of having a group of 2 international DJs? If HxL doesn't have international DJs, and we assume that the majority of DJs are at school/college/uni, then the radio is really only on 3pm-12pm...?

[Foregetfuhl]

We currently have seven international DJs and we no longer operate in groups within HxL we still have groups for applications as it is an easier system but the actual running of HabboxLive operates as two teams with internationals mixed into the two.

In regards to the whole auto DJ thing there are advantages and disadvantages to it. I don't mind a trial but if the hours are any less than the average or what they are usually in a week I would see it as a tremendous fail. We average between 120-140 hours a week out of 168 which isn't amazing but the majority of hours that aren't done are those that would be covered by international DJs and until we gain more international staff these slots will not be filled as they should be. UK DJs do sometimes do these slots but they are usually exhausted or just stream due to the time.

I will speak to Matt in regards to a trial of an auto DJ and if it fails it fails. We'll just have to wait and see.

Where's the proof that an Auto DJ system will make DJs lazier? I used to DJ on a site which had a great Auto DJ system with a built-in request site so that you could request the songs you want from a database and it'd play them on the site. It still had a ton of people DJing on all the time, the Auto DJ system was purely for the hour gaps between DJs as sometimes that would happen. I say give it a shot instead of shooting down the idea.

EDIT: Just to add it was HotelViewFM where I DJ'd, we had a fair amount of listens most of the time.

For some reason, Habbox management have always had a problem with Auto DJ and I'm not sure why. SAM Broadcaster has a built in request feature like Ryan mentioned above, but then I guess you need a computer on 24/7 to actually do it unless you code a script yourselves.

Threads are always going to come up about HabboxLive because let's face it.. it's dying
