The fact that it's a server based leeching system makes me less than excited to hear about it, and the fact that it's analog just makes me feel sorry for them. An equipment upgrade could boost the analog quality to CD digital levels, at which point the RIAA would start lobying for the rules for analog broadcasts to be brought up to digital standards. But at its heart it's just an over-complicated web radio station. If it had been invented at any other school I would have believed that the system was designed by pre-law students, it isn't very innovative.
