Alrighty, I've decided to make a formal post about this now that is actually...somewhat, something [img]smile.gif[/img]

At the bottom of nubblies.net, there is an image, it lists the current playing song, and how many people are listening to the station.

After clicking on the image, you are brought to a webpage--you can either select to listen, or make a request for a song to be played.

If you like to listen to music...but not the same thing over and over, this is where it get's pretty cool I think, and is quite a bit better than just putting a punch of songs on 'random' on your winamp.

The songs on radio.nubblies.net are all tagged with their song info--name, album, etc. It is also tagged with other attributes, like 'weight', last played, etc...

This info held by the songs is then sort of 'figured out' (putting it all in very brief terms) --to determine what song should be played next. Based on--last artist played, last song played, and song weight.

When someone decides to 'request' a song--the weight is increased. You'll hear that songs more, and also very likely the same artist (probably from same CD)

All broadcasting when it's live...

But besides that--I've also decided to make it more useful to everyone. I'm working on it...so it will take some time, but I will update this post with the links necessary once it's done.

You will be able to access this 'database' of music--everything in the entire list, and download it. I'm also going to create an upload page to put up new cds--which will then be added to the station. You will only be able to access upload/download if you have certain creditianls met on nubblies.net

What I would ultimately like to come out of it is--music broadcasting over station that i've never heard before--but like, and can immediately download entire cd if I want to.

If anyone has any suggestions/comments--please feel free. I'll be updating this post with more info.

Genius. Pure genius.

I myself do have some stuff I'd love to upload, for the enjoyment of all you silly turkeys.

Yes, yes indeed. Go you.

Please let me know if you notice any bugs...right now I'm trying to work out why one song will play right after another...it's messed up. Also let me know if anything ever skips.

The uploading/downloading is going to take some programming...I think I should have something going within a week from now.
