Normally in the U.S. eastern time, I get good songs played in the morning drives. (Which is evening time in Chennai).

OTOH, my evening drives are typically thrAbai songs. Including non-IR at times

After listening to the Telugu version of 'jOdi nadhigaL' this AM (the second time on this radio), I wanted to find out whether the recording is really so messed up when they dubbed this song from Thamizh

It seems to be so, please check this out:
http://newtelugu.net/data/file/27323/Oohalanni-Vellivirisi-mp3.html

SPB's track singing and the instrumental track (esp rhythm) are awfully out of sync

I'm pretty sure IR had no business with this recording (dubbing) in that year 1984. (I got the name of this movie "love story" from Anbu sir's spreadsheet, otherwise it wouldn't have been so easy to locate this album / song on the net).

In any case, இது போன்ற எத்தனை அநியாயங்கள் நடந்திருக்கோ தெரியல!

I think the payyans don't care

Hi ,

Let me introduce myself . I am Balaji and I am one of those taking care of the Raaja FM. 

All the non-IR songs have been removed and the playlist should be a much cleaned one now. 

More songs are getting added and we would also want your suggestions to improve the online radio in the coming days.

Thanks.

I hope non-IR does not come anymore, at least for the last month or so.. Kindly confirm.

Hi Balaji,

Welcome to the forum and thank you for your kind response!

Appreciate your hard work and the great service thru raajafm! 

I'm personally introduced to a lot of hitherto-unheard songs there!

Reg. non-IR songs, many have disappeared and thank you for that!

Please check if 'engammA magarAsi' is still in the playlist. Not sure if I heard it within a month or not but I've heard it a few times...
(machchanai partheengaLA is the movie, that also had 'mAmpoovE siRu mainAvE' and the MD is Chandrabose)

One more suggestion:
Wherever possible, please remove audio files that are extremely poor (one example is the rAgangaL mARuvadhillai song, yE alangAri ennai cheeNdAthE , MV-SPS).

More songs are getting added and we would also want your suggestions to improve the online radio in the coming days.

my only gripe are the 'dubbed songs' also more of Malayalam and Kannada songs would be great.

Added 3 Kannada movies today - Ajeya, Bhagyada Balegara and Shivasainya. Should reflect today 3-4 PM IST. 

I am also not feeling so happy about the Dubbed non Tamil movies. As the regular movies get added, should be fine I guess.

Thanks a lot for your words !

yeh Alangaari has been removed from the playlist now.

As far as Engamma Magarasi is concerned, doesnt it belong to Ellam Un Kairasi movie ?

Well, please don't go by one of those many errors that pollute the internet

Look at this song, featuring none other than Sridevi, from the year 1978
(movie - machAnai pAtheengaLA, music - Chandrabose, but it sounds like something dubbed from indhi):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-iWrV5Dd5uo


Check the site below, if the above does not work for any:

http://shakthi.fm/ta/player/play/sce68ceec
http://shakthi.fm/ta/album/show/e2fed079

Besides the above, it's very easy for any pAmara IRF to identify that this is a non-IR song

As for as that Rajini-Seema film called 'ellAm un kai rAsi' (supposedly from the year 1980, that had a Jency song but none of the songs from the album were ever known to me who was a +2 studying radio+IR-fanatic at that point of time), the whole movie is on youtube (obviously, without the mentioned song):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPJ_EG7qRRY


Well, I have more ammunition - the proverbial Anbu sir spreadsheet (that had been painstakingly compiled from audio disks) has ONLY 3 SONGS for the movie ellAm un kai rAsi and you know which song is not there
(For any who needs a copy of the latest and greatest, updated Anbu-sir-spreadsheet, please message me your e-mail ID and it will be in the mail box within a very short time)

More than convinced and the song has been removed.

For the spreadsheet, I would like a copy of the same. I have been updating the sheet from my end too and any additional information will be very helpful

Please message me (either with or without mail ID) and I can arrange to send.

BTW, there seems to be some buffering issues for the last few days as the songs don't play continuously but with "stop-start" style, too often.

To exclude other variables, like my phone / iOS / T-Mobile etc., I changed the browser to youtube (#IR_Official_YT, there are tons of collections in that channel now) and it played without any interruption at all. 

Same (good) result with Spotify too. So, other variables are ruled out.

Is there something cooking?

Another observation - the radio did play that "tribal song" from nandhalAlA (elilE-elilE stuff) - was it composed by IR or did Mysskin insert from another source? 
(From my faded memory of hub days, that piece was not by IR and hence may not belong in raajafm)

I haven't checked the audio sleeve of nandhalala (never seen it), but please look at this website :
https://mymazaa.com/tamil/audiosongs/movie/Nandhalala.html

That way, at least in one place we have info that both Music & Singing were by one Saroja Ammal.

Mysskin may have had his own reason to include it in an IR album (which I personally dislike, கோடீஸ்வரன் எதுக்குய்யா பிச்சை எடுக்கணும்?) ...

...but should we play it in raajafm.com?

The audio CD sleeve says "உடுக்கை அடித்து பாடியவர்.". Why be ambiguous, the song has been removed.

Can you please check and let know now about the buffering issue  ? 

You can reach me quickly on Twitter, in case I dont respond here quickly - @vbss75.

@vbss75 - First of all, you are doing an amazing job of playing Maestro's songs non-stop 24/7. I understand it requires lot of effort and dedication to pursue such a task Please continue on this great effort.

As quoted above, right from day 1 (when raajafm.com started) till yesterday (night), I have been trying to hear the songs but I am not successful, as it keeps buffering every 10 seconds and after minute or two it dies out. I keep trying again and again but no improvement. I am not sure if it is with the timing I listen, where number of listeners are more. I have a great speed/signal (Wi-Fi) signal at home. Normally I don't listen on LTE networks. Please let me know if anything to be done on my side.

It exists now too sir!

Unlike V_Sji, I listen to raajafm.com on LTE only

My IR-music listening is practically limited to "drive-times" only nowadays

After many days, this morning was a fun ride with raajafm, with absolutely no interruptions

nanRi Balaji sir!

There was rain / flood / extra 1 hour on road this AM, but didn't feel the difficulty at all - thanks to wonderful songs!

I love radio - it is the best way to listen, with surprises all the time

Thanks a lot. We have completed just 50%. My time currently is consumed in another task related to the Maestro so the songs addition is slow. Hoping to add the remaining 50% soon !

This problem was existing for the last few days , but not from day 1 definitely. As  indicated by others here , they have been listening to the FM without any issues till the last few days. Even that issue has been rectified.

The timing should not be an issue, as the number of listeners are low any given time 

Can you try a different machine/browser and see if the same issue occurs ?

Thanks for the response Normally I play through my phone where safari is the default (only) browser. I will try on my desktop/laptop as well.

If you want to play through the phone, you can try the Maestro's Music app which runs the radio stream too.

Kindly let me know if it worked through your desktop.

Great news. Raaja FM, official radio channel of Raaja digital is now part of Tunein. You can access the channel at http://tunein.com/radio/Raaja-FM-Official-Radio-s278159/. Kindly spread the news across so that a lot of people can hear and enjoy !

^ way to go  , guess you have increased the bitrate, any reason for choosing mp3 over AAC?
96k AAC would pack in lot more than your current mp3 stream, its godsent if your source is of low bitrate.
