Chilirec - Online Radio Recorder…

Chilirec ist ein Online Radio Recorder der Superlative mit hunderten von Internet Radiosendern, deren gestreamte Songs abgespeichert und angehört werden können. Das ist an sich nichts Neues, doch Chilirec bietet einige Features, die so nicht üblic…

If it had a way to publish your playlist to a website with a player it would be near perfect.

I can’t see why artist would not dig this. First they have there music played on the radio, then they have it published on the chilirec toplist. They first get paied to have there music played on the radio. Then they get there music played on the chilirec toplist where I even can see the artists name. If I like there music I might by there CD or go to a concert.

I’m sorry but I can’t help smiling at the question: is it legal? When I was a teenager we used to tape record music off the radio. The tapes where taxed by the government to pay the music industries for lost profit. I’ve heard Canada have the same taxation for CD’s (and hard drives?). The Radio stations pays a song tax.

The rhetorical question would be: Has it ever been illegal to record form the radio for personal use. Not in Sweden but it sounds like it could be in the above countries. Well, I hope this explains the smile.

I agree, this is one of the better ideas I have seen in a while. Since much of the music is pre-recorded. All they need is basically a few overlapping lines, a big hard drive and well the other usual stuff. Since the idea is so simple and they have a pending patent I guess they will have to fight for it.
Now I think to pre-record can cause a problem - if they don’t pay for it - but to relay a music station that shouldn’t be a problem, as well as to save the songs.

I would not be surprised it the Radio stations want Chilirec to pay since Chilirec will earn money on their service. The radio stations may also loose a few “add-reading” customer, but then on the other hand, they may gain some.

And did I say, the service is great to save music off-line.

I’m convinced that this is the best thing that there is.

I like this idea… but it brings the question again… is it legal.

At first I wondered why we needed something more than Pandora (or similar offerings). But I suppose it is good if it helps you find new music. I have not had any luck with recommendation algorithms–something about my tastes make them go horribly wrong.

Audiomill tried this in 2001 or 2002 but got shut off by the Internet radio stations that didn’t want to pay bandwidth costs for non-human listeners.

If yahoo wants to be ‘friendly’ then it should stop treating its advertisers like assholes. I have been advertising online for 10 years and never have i dealt with such arrogant idiots as the people at yahoo. No matter what they do they will never get a dime from me again. They are wasting their time with this crap, and Jerry Yang needs to go back to whatever the hell he was doing before he started this useless website. Just my opinion. Take the MSFT offer fool, you are lucky to get that much.

Pandora is not great for the majority of the planet: it’s georetarded remember!
On this service: nice. I wonder though if it won’t put more pressure on Amercian record companies to open up: notice how all the good stuff is coming from overseas now because they don’t have the RIAA and big music screwing them around

Great, another source of low quality mp3’s to try and avoid on imeem.

So, if people download these mp3’s from ChilliRec and want to share them on imeem can you mention the source so that I can ignore them in favor of the versions sourced from CD’s

Looks like they are based in Sweden - so they might stay alive for a bit

I do wonder about the storage for this thing - if they save seperate copies of each MP3, and if everything is recording every station, it seems like that would get big, quick…

Cool idea. I personally rather go with something like StationRipper, that just puts all the songs directly on my HD, but this is nice if you want to have access anywhere.

I tried it out.

*Great that you don’t even need to register to use it.
*Registration is needed if you want to access the library you built from other Internet connected computers.
*Does a pretty nice job of detecting the pause between tracks.
*Downside, most tracks have the first couple of seconds of the next song. So, the technology isn’t perfect.
*Upside, probably good enough for most people trying to rip MP3s to a CD for later listening.
*I like the playlist/ITunes style.
*They had my favorite Internet radio station, SomaFM.

Overall - Best new app I’ve seen on TechCrunch in a while.

I can see this site doing very well. That said, the barrier to entry seems low and copycats could arise. To counter that, something more proprietary needs to be developed despite their “patent-pending” recording technology. That, or have insane viral growth to become the early market leader.

I’m going to try this one out - seems very cool. As for how legal it is…well, nothing says great press like a good old-fashioned lawsuit. I guess that if it’s worth going through the trouble to sue a product, it must be good enough to try out, right?

That needs it’s own name - kind of like some type of startup street cred or something. 50 cent got shot 9 times….Chilirec gets sued 3 or 4 times. Both get more people interested in their product and services.

Just remember to but a ‘lawsuit’ line item in your venture capital pitch.
