  Mobile is no longer required to download a specific App, but if you would like to download the Shoutcast app you may do so from the App Store.
  
  iPhone -- Download the "Shoutcast App" from the App Store. Once downloaded and installed, launch the application. Click on "Search" on the bottom menu and type in "66 RAW". Our station will show up, then click on it to listen to it.

2. What is Shoutcast?
Shoutcast is the server streaming platform that we use for our station. It is sorta like Windows, Mac, etc.. but the platform is strictly for streaming audio. It encodes the audio that is being sent from our DJ's on our server and delivers it to you so that you can listen to it in good quality. It is just like how you listen to your regular radio station.

3. Is it REALLY Free?
Yes it is! 66 RAW used to be the premier Hip Hop channel on XM Satellite Radio and many of our fans had to pay almost $15 per month plus the receiver, but now you DO NOT have to buy anything. As long as you can get to this website you can listen to our station, if you want to listen via your mobile phone please read the above instructions.

66 Raw is not owned by any major corporation or has any major backing. We are solely self funded and rely on our services to keep funding the venture. You can always Donate to 66 Raw if you would like to support our organization so that we can keep the the station free to all of our listeners and users.

4. What is Raw Interactive?
Raw Interactive is our RAW members community, it is our version of Facebook for all of our fans. You can pretty much do the same thing: Upload pictures, add videos, comment, update your status, create groups, add twitter, etc... This is how we keep all of us in sync.

You can also connect your Facebook page with 66 RAW, it allows you to sync your 66 RAW page with your Facebook, so you don't have to maintain 2 different pages. Everytime you log in, 66 RAW will sync with your current facebook. But you don't have to. If you want to keep them separate you can do that.

If you signed up through 66 RAW but would like to sync with Facebook, you can do that by going to your Profile > Edit Profile > Scroll Down and click "Associate with Facebook"
