Afterhours.FM – 5 year celebration schedule + New Android App !

Just like I said in a previous ah.fm post, time flies by so fast ! 5 years already since I saw this new radio station pop up and thought… “what a hell, let’s check it out”. Here’s a few words from Dan, the man behind the project.

Afterhours.FM is proud to present our 5th Year Anniversary, we can’t believe how fast time flies, but it flies with the passion of providing the Trance Community the only best in Electronic Dance Music. We would like to invite you to celebrate 5th Anniversary with us, it all starts on May 28th with a Live Broadcast from Holland / recorded (to be announced soon) followed by 80+ DJs from AH.FM exclusive. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank staff, all partners, listeners, and everyone else supporting AH.FM. The future of AH.FM is simple… continue bringing only the Best of Electronic Dance Music.

I’ve bolded two that I find VERY interesting. For those living in Canada, mobile data is WAY too expensive for what it actually is. So if you have 500mb a month, you don’t really wanna spend it on listening to music. It is there that being able to choose the bitrate (the lower the bitrate, the lower the data usage) is useful. Also, “wifi” only mode, same purpose.

There are ways of getting apps for free out there, but I really suggest that you guys buy the full version of this. Not because they told us to say so. Simply because here at WPT, we have great respect for what they do, and feel the need to encourage them. 3$ is very tiny for a good cause.

Windows phones… I guess you’ll have to wait a bit more. Or perhaps you can use WMP or WinAmp to play it directly on their site?

Finally, let us end by saying THANK YOU, Afterhours.FM, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY. It all starts on May 28th, don’t miss a thing !
