ITM FM

back to online radio.. this section of ITM (InTheMix.com.au) features DJ mixes recorded live at clubs from events all over the country, mostly from 2003/4, but going back as far as 1999. i guess this gives people who were at the event a chance to re-live the experience, or those who missed out to have a listen to what was played.

i dont know if this is really online radio or not, i feel that online radio should be 'live' in a sense, and not just pre recorded mixes able to be listened to on demand. i think that 'radio' needs to establish a community of listeners, who are listening simultaneously. i think this listing of mixes is more like an archive of dj sets, similar to an archive of mp3's that can be listened to at will.
