That might be true, but it still seems to me that labels would want college
radio
stations to have mp3s of their promos rather than have to mail them a
physical
cd (which costs money). I've spun on two local radio stations. They
didn't
have computers in the studio when i had a regular show, but they do now.
I know you can certainly put digital audio on the machines, and FTP it,
although i don't know if they block PTP. But thats not what i was talking
about at all.

Some have decent budgets, others do not. Both of the stations i worked
with have excellent bandwidth though - the whole campus does.

Yeah, thats another issue entirely though. I'm talking about playing mp3s
on air.

I'm not familiar with that although i certainly don't doubt you. I'm mostly
talking about indie/small labels who promo their stuff to college radio.
I'm sure they don't have a huge budget for promotions. From being involved
with CMJ, there are hundreds of college radio stations (at least, say 100),
and some labels
service all of their releases to every (or most) stations. Thats thousands
of dollars in merch.
Alot of labels i work with don't even have the money to send real cds.
However,
if they could get airplay of mp3s, i'm sure they'd be all for it.
I'm not talking about djs grabbing stuff on PTP and spinning it - i'm
talking about
djs playing mp3s that are made available on the air. Although (IMO) i don't
look at playing PTP aquired mp3s as a bad idea either.
To my knowledge though, the local college stations don't get serviced
mp3s, or play them on air. Their libraries consist of "real" cds and vinyl.
