|
In effort to become more compliant with the DMCA, we're running a new script that keeps the queue at a minimum of 60 minutes. I know this is a bummer for most of you because it will now take longer to hear your request. I hope you all understand though this is something we must do in order to not only progress but survive. Thank you.

A bummer indeed.
But I'm sure we can live with it. |

I think it's great. Maybe we can all be exposed to new stuff from the vast library here instead of the same music over and over.

I really don't feel we got to hear the same music over and over again. I've discovered a lot of great new music everyday when listening to SST, 60 minutes queue or not. |

during the "day" sst time, it is a lot of the same cd's w/ some random ones on occassion. And I myself am guilty about selecting from the same 20 or st's. I think with this and the new random feature we'll get a lot of new stuff.

Jeric, will the request timer have to stay at least 1/60 also, or will it be allowed to be lower - like say 1/30? SAM/HAL can keep the queue filled to 60 minutes when we aren't filling it, but a lower request timer can still let us get a few in.

Tjoe - when it's at 1/60 and we are requesting, SAM/HAL won't be requesting. It only fills in when we don't. So during peak hours, it will still be all us.

Thur - that wasn't the question.
And, I see by the request timer presently set to 1/15, I got the answer to my actual question.

Will this kinda sucks but i will get used to it.  I do agree with Shock that i don't hear the same music over and over, but that i hear new stuff all the time. I've been enjoying new stuff a lot lately.
TJoe, good question, i had the same one!

What I fail to see is the DMCA's motives for doing this. But as usual they work in mysterious ways... terribly mysterious.

The motive is to keep digital radio stations from being "audio on demand" services. |

That's funny. Some of the FM radio stations near me have a habit of recycling the same songs over and over and yet they're not "audio on demand." Yet DMCA is making that rule. That's irony for ya!!

that's b/c the station and not the audience is making the selection.
