Song titles on home page
31st Jul, 2005 at 12:13am
 
Any chance we could be able to read the whole song title. When it's a long one the end is missing.

For example I just listened to John Martyn - I'd rather be the devil ( Live at the Rai

see what I mean

also now playing is Yes - Ritual - nous sommes do soleil ( Live

-but live where?

other than that no complaints - great site! Wink

Hi there inveryes, good to hear from you again Grin

Yup, I'm aware of the problem with the song titles on the front page and a fix is in the pipeline. This problem doesn't affect the displaying of the song titles that appears in your media player when tuning-in.

I'll update as and when.

Cheers for now.

Dee

Dee;

What would be the possibility of having the album title displayed either on the home page or on the media player.  A lot of music you play is new for me in one way or another and I would like to buy the CD, yet am not sure of its' title.

Possibly a link from the CD title to a site where the CD could be bought, would possibly create some small stream of revenue for the station so as to defray costs.

Just a thought and of course thank you as always for this wonderful station.

Kind regards,

Steven

Hi there Steven,

Yup, again this suggestion is still on the drawing-board and will take a bit of development / programming.

'Phase One' will include a total facelift to the website and forum although these will probably be at different times. The website being given a new look first as there is a new release of YaBB (the forum software) coming out soon. The website will then have the complete song title / artist but probably not the album title (this would involve manually going through and updating each song's ID v 3.2 tag) but will include (automated) playlist details being displayed. I hope to have this online by the middle of next month.

'Phase Two' will include your suggestion in full. Plus more. To be honest, this probably won't be online until the new year. Having album covers and details on the site, links to amazon or whoever is going to involve a 'proper' database, SQL driven software and some intensive work to get off the ground ... bear with me, it will happen. 8)

Dee;

Thanks for the detailed explanation and I shall bear with you for as long as this internet station does not change its genre, which I think is likely never.

Yes, is sounding great right now.

Thanks,

Steven

'Phase 1b' is now complete with the forum software having been upgraded to the very latest release - YaBB 2.1.

Everything is still intact - member's profiles, posts, topics and messages.

Enjoy.
