How Can I Support Lucky Dog?

The most effective way you can support Lucky Dog Radio is by listening in on a regular basis, and Live365 offers two basic choices to help you accomplish this. The first is absolutely free, and if you have not already done so, go to the How Do I Listen? page and read over the info provided there. The second comes with a title—Preferred Membership—and will cost you a few simoleons each month. But there are a number of mighty fine advantages to becoming a PM, including these:

• No ads. When you listen for free, Live365 inserts commercials about every 20 minutes or so into the stream. If that doesn't bother you, well, great! However, if you find that ads interrupt the carefully programmed flow that makes Lucky Dog such a satisfying listening experience, get rid of them permanently by becoming a PM.

• Every Live365 station (other than the pro stations) can only have a set number of free listeners at any one time. If they are all taken, free listeners cannot hear the station they want until another listener signs off. However, with a PM you can listen to any station you want at any time, regardless of the cap on free listeners.

• If you use the Live365 player for either PC or Mac, you can listen in MP3Pro sound, provided the broadcaster is streaming that way. Why should you care? Because the sound you get with an MP3Pro stream comes this close to a CD, that's why. Of course, you can listen to an MP3Pro stream on any mp3 player, but only with an MP3Pro-enabled player will you get that superior sound. And it's a Preferred Membership that lets you access those MP3Pro streams and hear true MP3Pro sound.

• Signing up for preferred membership helps defray broadcasting costs. In order to stream through Live365, one must purchase a broadcast package from them. Some of the cash they take in pays for all of the equipment and services that allow the multitude of streams to exist, and some also takes care of various fees and royalties that might otherwise knock many stations off the air. Each month, Live365 returns a little bit to each broadcaster. Now here's the key point: the amount is determined by how many hours Preferred Members listened to a station during that month. In addition, by signing up through the link below you will provide Lucky Dog Radio with a one-time bonus credit.

So let's recap: Preferred Membership gives you ad-free listening, umlimited access, improved sound and that warm fuzzy feeling you get with knowing your generous support is helping to keep both Lucky Dog Radio and any other stations you may enjoy on Live365 up and running. The monthly cost for all of this goodness is only $5.95. Package deals can reduce your cost even further; for more information and/or to sign up, click here.
