New Naim Internet Radio - November Update

Hi all,

November Update

It’s now just about 1 month since we launched the new internet radio service. May I thank you all for all your feedback on this. Overall things are now running smoothly and we’re in the comfortable position of just handling the odd station that is missing / adding in new stations / maintaining existing.

Here a summary of new stations and brands in the system over October:

Virgin Radio, FR (France)
Full network added as a brand. Not sure how we missed that one.

Frisk Radio, UK
Full network of stations added. Main channel upgraded to 320K MP3 from 64K AAC.

Polskie Radio, Poland
Due to the never ending efforts of one customer, best quality streams (192K AAC), correct artwork and station names have been resolved. Excellent work Thomasz

MPB Radio, Ireland
Full network added. This is a Netherlands based company taking their chances on the Irish DAB network.

Best Net Radio, USA
One of the internet genre playlist brands. We’ve filled in as many streams as we can.

Caprice Radio, Russia
Again another genre playlist brand. Around 200 streams now available. All in 320Kbit

Celtic Radio, Canada
Full network added and grouped as a brand

MusicOnly, Austra
Full network added and grouped as a brand

Classical KDFC and KUSC, USA
Full network of stations added and grouped in a brand

# Anima Amoris, Russia
Added full network of online stations.

KIIS network, Australia
Restructured to match their new backend using LiSTnR

Ondemand / podcast view added.

Otherwise stats are:

  • 770 new stations added in October
  • 551 modified in October
  • 212 deleted due to dead stations
  • 48022 stations in database as of today

Peak usage was Saturday 26th Oct, where in one minute over 21000 radio browse requests were done, and we handled over 12 million radio transactions in one day worldwide :slight_smile: Safe to say internet radio is a popular service with customers.

Finally, we are considering your various suggestions, and various ones will be appearing on the system over the coming months.

Best regards
