[Chris]

Join us for an exclusive test of the NEW VF Radio on Visionsfantastic.com!

http://visionsfantastic.com/main.php?page=radio

Currently playing is Disk One of Rick Conant's 50 Years of ImaginEARing, and there's more to come!

The new Radio requires only a flash compatible browser and should work well on both Mac and PC. Please leave your feedback in this forum, or in the exclusive '50 Years of ImaginEARing' thread.

Enjoy!

Awsome! That is so cool, I'm listening to it now. Now I'll be able to listen to VF radio again (my computer didn't let live365 work). This is great.

It's so exciting to have this new VF radio! Although, I can't get anything to play. The interface shows up and I can see all of the tracks, but I don't get any sound. It says "Preloading Track" up at the top, but nothing ever happens. I have a DSL connection, so I'm not sure what's wrong. Sorry if this comment is in the wrong place!

[Chris]

First, check to make sure you don't have any ad-blocker software running (Things like Norton, etc may be a problem).

Make sure you have the latest version of Flash (www.macromedia.com)

Check your Internet Security Settings and make sure it's set to "Medium High" or "Medium"

I love it. Thank you so much. You all do such a wonderful job with this site.

When are there going to be the stuff that was on Live365, all the other stuff I mean. So far everytime I've gone on it's just been the Main Street stuff.

[Chris]

We've already added some Frontierland clips (They are down the list, so you may have to scroll down a bit). More materials are coming this weekend.

If anyone has specific requests, I can see what I can do as far as getting them online for you.

[protostars]

works good, I couldn't get the live365 to work!
but this loads quick and is good quality!

Chris your doing a great job with the site.
I am amazed at the improvements over the last few months.

[barfownz]

and plus liv365 wasn't free, this radio blog on vf is free

[maul2]

I used Live365 for free. But anyway. What I was wanting was al the tomorrowland and adventureland stuff. Those are the ones I like the best.

[Chris]

Rest assured all those goodies are coming...

[WendyDarling1955]

Chris, you are doing an awesome job! Thank you for this wonderful preview! I love it! Its very clear, and I understand that this is new, and it will take some time to bring everything over. Live365.com was a good host, but the audio is so much clearer, and its very convienient for it to already be on the VF site. Thank you so much for previewing this with us, and I can't wait to hear the final project!

I'm ejoying the new radio quite a bit. The only problem I have is that (periodically) I don't get complete tracks. I'll get several tracks in a row that only play about 6-7 seconds each, before moving on to the next track. I can't figure out why. Other times, it plays just fine. Could it be my 56k connection?

In any event, when it works, I'm quite pleased with the sound quality and load times. Of course, the quality of the content is unquestioned!

[Chris]

Its your 56k connection. To play the files requires a lot of buffering since the files are in 64kps format. We are considering adding a second VF Radio that would be more compatible for 56k users (using 32kps sound samples instead). The quality would be lower, but the audio clips would load faster and play with less interuption.

Thanks Chris!

[barfownz]

i just saw that some other audio is added to the vf radio

[that_L_do_pig]

very cool - good work. I actually canceled my live365 and redirected those funds to my ipod/podcasting listening experience since I hooked up a direct line on my car and my ipod. There is a great WDW podcast that I listen to weekly. What are some good DLR podcasts? VF should do one!!!!

[TopCat8]

Wow. Thank you guys so much. I haven't listened to VF Radio in a long time. I'm listening to it now. "The Haunted Mansion" excellent. I love it.

[Grim Grinning Ghost]

This is VERY cool! On top of producing this new station, I noticed that the Haunted Mansion track has been re-mixed a little bit, the foyer scene has a different organ part playing during the opening speach. Right Chris, Awsome work!!!

[krnsngr85]

to Chris do you know what CD has the Christmas Fantasy Parade that I can buy at Disneyland??? because I know you can't download it here so I am asking personally do you know if it is available for others to buy the music at Disneyland? If you don't know its okay, but Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas to one and all.

Sincerely Krnsngr85

[Chris]

Unfortunately "A Christmas Fantasy" has not been commercially released at this time.

[Scott Oliverson]

Merry Christmas 2005, Chris! I predict that you did get around to creating a new version of Visions Fantastic Radio so it won't keep buffering, preloading a portion of audio track and play for awhile before switching to the next audio track, blah-blah-blah.

Very soon 2006 will be arriving, the next year in the new millennium of the 21st Century. Take all the time you want to get in touch with me and Happy Holidays 2005!

[disney_fanatic]

oh pooh I liked how live365 worked...it was awesome. I used it for free..my moms strange about paying for stuff on the net. the radio blog is cool and all, but thier was more of a veriety on live 365...or it seemed like that to me..

[disneyguy]

When will the VF Radio be back up?

[Chris]

When it's ready. There's already another topic about this.

Topic closed.
