bogl Stellar Newbie Offline Posts: 6	Playlist 6^th Feb, 2005 at 6:05am Hi progmaster. Still listening, and delighted to hear some Gentle Giant (Way Of Life) on the station. Quick question: do you have a playlist for visitors to peruse? And how are you doing with Eddie Jobson/Zinc? Could I make this part of a "vinyl night", for I do have it in said format? bogl

Hey bogl !!

Good to hear you're still tuning-in. I've added a huge amount of GG recently - keep on the look-out for more of their material which is on the playlist.

I'm working on some php code that will automatically display the playlist on the website. I'm getting there, please bear with me on this one as I know it has been requested several times - but I am on the case ...

In the meantime, if your chosen media player doesn't display the name and artist of the track being played automatically, is to check-out the front page of the site as this now has a live, 'what's playing now', section on it.

Updates will follow on this as soon as possible.

Cheers for now.

Dee

The prospect of faffing with php code fills me with horror, so all the best to you in trying. As a Linux user, I dug around in xmms's settings and worked out how to display current track playing, so no problem there. I'm just intrigued as to what is on the database, that's all. Keep up the good work, bogl

For the playlist answer JT, you can only see what will play next and what is the last 5 song played on the SA main page (http://www.stellar-attraction.com/)

A list of the entire playlist avaible for us to summon dosen't exist to my knowledge. The closer there is, it's when Darran put on a list of the new album/artist recently added to SA. This situation is different when we have the chance to listen to a session of one of the DJ. At that time, the DJ can put a list of the bands/songs/artists at his own discretion (incomplete or complete).

For the request, you can post a message in the request section of the forum (here). The next time Progmaster is online, he will gadly queue your asked songs (that is if you are still online).

Personnaly, I wait until ProgMaster is online and send him a personnal message for my request. I don't know if this method is preferable for ProgMaster, so I would advise you to put your request on the forum and wait for an answer from ProgMaster. He will surely answer my question when he is back (I miss him).

Hope this helps!

Max

Ps: I know that I'm not the admin, but considering the fact that PM is absent for the time being, I've taken initiative to answer your questions.

Why do I love statistics so much? Because it is so easy to do with perl?

Maybe my play-log is not the most reliable source, but it shows nice figures:

Top 20 groups:

1200 Pink Floyd
1197 Yes
826 Genesis
714 King Crimson
559 Marillion
472 Jethro Tull
367 Rick Wakeman
365 Mike Oldfield
363 Porcupine Tree
341 Gentle Giant
323 Dream Theater
304 Emerson, Lake And Palmer
283 Roger Waters
277 Steve Hackett
274 Peter Gabriel
271 Can
258 Rush
257 Camel
232 Caravan
231 Fish

Top 20 songs:

42 King Crimson - One More Red Nightmare
36 Yes - Turn Of The Century
34 Dervish LI - Dervish LI AD2604 (liveIreland, Indepe
33 Emerson, Lake And Palmer - The Hut of Baba Yaga

25 Unicorn - Ain't Got A Lot Of Future
25 Moth Conspiracy - Turkish Delight

The numbers in front are just a count in the playlog since 2008-02-05

BTW SysAdmin, the font "Lucida Console" (or Liberation Mono" would be a welcome addition. I'd love to show this list in a monospaced font, but for me Courier is unacceptable: too ugly.
