Why is it called BeOSRADIO?
BeOSRADIO is named after the amazing BeOS (Be Operating System) it runs under. Since our launch in late 2000, BeOSRADIO has been a touchpoint in the BeOS community, along with broadcasting an excellent "extreme mix" of music, news, and technology features.
Our station's smooth, consistent operation is directly attributable to BeOS operating system and the TuneTracker radio automation system, which gives us wonderful stability and reliability, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Forgive the absense...
Please forgive the rather lengthy period we were "off the air." Our streaming service was incorrectly configured for awhile and Abacast had been unable to connect to us to relay our signal to you. We just noticed it and fixed it. Again, our apologies for being gone!
Let us hear from you...
Do you listen to BeOSRADIO? How often do you listen? How long at a time? When did you first start listening? What do you like about it? What would make it better? Please send us feedback!
Beyond the Mozart effect...
A famous 1993 study linking music listening to better intellectual performance prompted creation of a brand new term: the Mozart effect. In the study, it was shown that listening to Mozart music caused an increase in test scores. In the years since, study after study has confirmed that listening to stimulating, creative music helps the brain function more productively, clearly and creatively.
 The good news is that classical music is only one of a variety of musical styles that can stimulate brain activity. But can you really mix jazz, ethnic, classical, acoustic, ambient, spiritual, and other genres of music and produce something pleasingly listenable? Absolutely. The result? It's like taking the world's most delicious multi-vitamin!
When you tune into BeOSRADIO's "Extreme Variety" mix, you'll experience music that not only entertains, but can literally make you more productive and creative. What's music on BeOSRADIO like? Our music mix is at-once unobtrusive and unpredictable. It's creative, wonderful music from all around the world.
There are enough influences out there trying to turn your brain into mush. Isn't it nice to know there's a place you can tune where you can enjoy programming that actually stimulates those synoptic connections rather than shutting them down?

Some nice listener comments...
Hi,
I had saved the BeOSRADIO stream link some time ago in my playlist of
Internet radio stations, and yesterday tuned in for the first time (half
by accident). After listening for half an hour, I came to the conclusion
that you really play outstanding music, just as the advertisements say!
I mean, this is musically by far the best station I know. I'll be sure to
spread the word.
Thanks for making my day now and in future.

Listener praises new format...
"As usual, BeOS Radio is consistently turning out the most listenable and innovative mix of music I've ever found anywhere on the air or the Internet. I'm sold - and am pushing the station everywhere I can."
Doug Shelton, San Diego
"Why don't you play Metallica?"
You can find thousands of outlets playing well-known pop artists, computer-generated techno, and other more mainline music.
We're different for a reason.
Just as the Be Operating System was designed to provide a better, more creative alternative, BeOSRADIO launched with the same goal in mind. Let the others muddle around in contemporary pop culture stuff that's just as humdrum and mainstream as Windows. We're here to provide an exciting, mind-expanding alternative.

Our latest new artists...
BeOSRADIO is pleased to welcome the following new artists who have recently been added to our lineup:
Classical and Ambient:
Aaron Walz
We've excited to have just added 16 compositions by talented tunesmith Aaron Walz.
Aaron's life and passion is music and has been since he started composing at age 10. Aaron quit his 6 year career as a Human Resources Director this Fall to open his own music composition and production company, Walz Music, making himself available for composition services for video games or wherever else music is needed. He just finished 31 tracks for Aveyond II (www.amaranthgames.com), and did the score for the prequel, which won best sound at www.gametunnel.com, an Indie Games magazine. This summer his band, nR Element, got signed to a record label, Akyr Music, which does eurodance, classical, and integrates video game and Japanese anime themes into their recordings. He's also a trained classical singer.
David Nevue
This guy is really first-rate. We think you'll enjoy the "restrained intensity" of David's neoclassical arrangements of traditional Christmas songs, from the album, "Emmanuel." His style is precise and articulate, and at the same creative and sensitive. David works full-time in the music business and promotes his music both on the Internet and at concert appearances nationwide. His recent album, "Overcome," received the Lifestyle Music Award for "Best Piano Album."
Jazz:
Sam Stryke
This guy plays jazz our way. We love the amazingly creative Christmas arrangements on his album, "Christmas," and have added every single one of them to our holiday rotation. Sam says this album was intended to give people a peaceful, nostalgic break from the frantic pace of the Christmas season. If ever there was "cozy jazz," this is it! Listen for a featured vocal from singer-songwriter Alice Peacock on Sam's rendition of, "The Holly and the Ivy."
