Great station Newbie. Is it only the 300 hundred songs and then it repeats? Do you ever change up the songs? Do you take requests?

Great station Newbie. Is it only the 300 hundred songs and then it repeats? Do you ever change up the songs? Do you take requests?

I update it. Take songs off and then add others.

There's not a 300 song limit. That's what I happen to have programmed right now. That brings me to about nineteen hours of music. If I were to add much more, at one time, I'd be a little too close to 24 hours, which would mean that the same songs would play at the same time the next day.

 

As it stands now, I re-program about a third of the songs every few days. In a two week period, the entire cycle is different.

 

I can take requests, but they are not instantaneous. The program puts my playlist in a cache. Any changes I make now probably wouldn't take effect for a few hours.

 

What would you like to hear?

Not sure if these are already on your rotation, Newbie... but how about:

 

1) Sara - Fleetwood Mac

2) Angel Eyes - Jeff Healey

3) Cruel to be Kind - Nick Lowe

4) Still Loving You - Scorpions

5) Hurts So Good - John Cougar

6) Touch of Gray - Grateful Dead

7) Eyes Without a Face - Billy Idol

8) Biggest Part of Me - Ambrosia

I'm trying to stay away from ballads. I'm trying to keep the music upbeat.

 

I already have Cruel To Be Kind in my playlist.

 

I'll add Hurt So Good, Touch Of Grey, Eyes Without a Face, and Sara, for you. :dunno:

It does seem to stop after playing a handful of songs.

 

 

ETA- I would like to hear "Under The Milky Way" by the Church.

Happens to me too. The display shows the album cover, song title and author but no music. Once I click the FF button it's ok. :dunno:

:thumbsup: Excellent song

That's about 100 songs more than the entire rotation of the average oldies broadcast radio station.

 

I don't consider myself a huge fan of the genre; I was on-air at a CHR station at the time, and there's nothing that takes the joy out of music more than working in radio. But each time I tune in I find something fun within just a couple songs. Good job, man.

 

Haven't heard any Cars yet. What's in rotation? 'Since You're Gone' is a favorite.

I've been listening all day (since 8am) and I've heard Triumph's Magic Power twice as of this moment.

(first time I heard it was only a few hours ago... around lunchtime). :rolleyes:

 

Not that there's anything wrong with that! :first: This song actually brings back a lot of memories for me!

(my first concert).

Good morning. A couple comments about some of last night's posts:

 

I'm not sure why the stream stops sometimes. It could be an interuption in your personal bandwith, as some listeners have told me it neveer happens to them. It could also just be a glitch in lala's software. Hopefully, it gets straightened out.

 

BEG, why the Triumph song played twice within four hours is a mystery to me. I went back to make sure i hadn't inadvertantly programmed it in twice, but I hadn't. Another glitch, i suppose. :dunno:

 

BLS, Harden My Heart is on the playlist. You happened to hear a different one which I also played. I didn't realize you were such a Harden My Heart fan. I will send you the mp3, if you like. :cheers:

 

 

To all of you who tuned in yesterday, thank you very much. The support is very much appreciated. Hopefully, it was pleasurable. The station is available for you today and everyday. I constantly change the playlist.

 

Thanks again. :cheers:

There actually is a way to put a few voice recordings on there. It says that I have to download a plug-in first. I'll look into it.

 

I added the Banshees tune. Due to the way their server caches the playlist, it'll probably be about an hour until it plays.

Yeah. Been a pretty cool process. Should be ready to play in another week or two. :mellow:

 

Let me add that I have never before used the dancing banana thing. That's how excited I am about it!
