Please consider: * publishing the source code of the serverside component under a free software license so we are free to learn how it works to build our own prototypes and perhaps even contribute features to this project * changing the way it handles nothing being played now, from "Now Playing: More songs coming soon... Nothing playing right now" and no more to "Now Playing: Nothing playing right now. Previous track was ..." and all the information about the last played track. * adding links to venue sites for the event items (if you can; non commercial restrictions may prohibit this?) * adding links to ticket sites for the event items (even more likely to die thanks to the non commercial restrictions...) * linking the Top 10 tracks to YouTube queries of those strings (or is that commercial too?) -- Regards, Dave - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.
