$350 for the streaming bandwidth. Thanks to Vaxman's generosity, there is no bill for me for maintaining the website. Much of the music added are promos from bands/labels but I do buy downloads (legal only of course) when necessary - maybe another $50, I've always been a music collector so don't track that. At some point in the future, we are likely going to have to do a capital outlay for a new virtual machine - but that would be a one time expense. Likewise, there are various software tools (mp3 tagging, VNC to remotely access the station, etc) that are mostly free/shareware, but I've always tried to make appropriate donations to the creators dependent on how much value it adds.

I willingly spend my time (a LOT) on Aural Moon, said time is, of course, not compensated.

hi Jim
since Dnsrees introduced the most important topic
I delicately had brakes to do it ....
but Dnsrees is right and if you answered jim it means
that you can talk about it ..
if the biggest expense is streaming and we are talking
about 350 x 12, that is 4,200 dollars .. 3,800 euros approximately
to understand how many Greens are currently contributing to helping AM ?
and how long is it to cover the $ 4,200 ?
this is to understand if it is possible to cover the missing
difference with an additional contribution
and then I continue in my appeal to those who have not yet
changed their color from white to green and I turn especially
to those who attend AM continuously ...
