[edit] warning

di.fm will be shut down. Check the original article, and we all need to be serious about that unless you don't like to enjoy Internet Broadcasting.

No, it won't. Not unless the new royalty rates come into effect, and that wont be for another 5 years or so. If they haven't fixed them before then, then there'll be a problem. Bobbias 23:55, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Stations

DI.fm has a new station called Techno, i have added this station into the list. :)--BC 21:11, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] deletion?

i cannot understand the real reason. somebody tell me why —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pudmaker (talk • contribs) 03:03, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

It was probably deleted because people can't seem to realize that there are 640,000 hits (six hundred and forty thousand) instead of 64,000 (sixty four thousand) on Google when one searches for Di.fm. In fact, there are actually 652,000. There was only one person who voted for deletion, and this person obviously has no idea what he's talking about because he said that "Google gives "Sky.fm" 574 hits," when in actuality it yields 468,000.

The most likely explanation is cavalier deletionism by User:Ta bu shi da yu. BirdValiant 01:39, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Digitally Imported is 'only' the most listened to electronic radio network online, and only takes up 10% of the ENTIRE Shoutcast.com listed audience. All of this is easily verifiable. Is Wikipedia running out of hard drive space or something that it doesn't want to show the information? Bit of a joke to consider deleting this. Some edits were made from one of the offices of DI, that is true, but mostly because of recent vandalism to the page.

• I personally don't think it should of been overturned. The AfD was filed, completed and result was delete. The administrator that did that works at Sky.fm which makes it a WP:COI, also a fine candidate for arbitration to check out.--NightRider63 19:53, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

Lack of information made this article deleted once. But I hope this will not be happening twice. --adidas 03:34, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

I noticed a few days ago that there are only 17/48 active streams www.di.fm. Has this got something to do with the Royalty Rate Dispute in the USA? Have they shut down it in all silence? Teemu Ruskeepää 16:14, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
