RE: WMWM taking a week off...

["Larry Lovering" <larry.lovering@cox.net>]

I was using Winamp to run my internet interests, and switched to a
proprietary (to the hosting company) platform.  My oldies playlist is up to
about 72 hours worth without a repeat, fine for an internet presence, but
terrible for an on-air one.  Winamp would handle 24 hours, no problem.  It
can randomize but not automatically.  Someone who invents a plug in to fade
and insert a quarter-hour ID and/or spots would make this very cool.  And a
playlist scheduler?  Also very cool.  But there are some low priced
automation packages out now, spurred on by LPFM, I think, that could do all
of this and more.
