Hello BBC Backstage, In the last few weeks I have been working on a simple system, similar to Chris Riley's trackplaying, of showing the currently playing song on BBC Radio and providing some information about the song and artist. I have never sent an email to a mailing list before, but I am hoping this would be the best way of telling BBC enthusiasts about my site. The site is currently designed to be user-friendly, and uses a simple design and interface.
In addition to the main feature of showing the currently playing song, I have compiled a list of all songs which have been 'scrobbled' to the BBC Radio 1 last.fm account (Which is where the information is retrieved) since its creation in 2005. This could hopefully prove to be very useful in finding 'trends' of songs played etc. Depending on the amount of use this gets, I will create a database for the other radio stations as well. I am fairly new to web programming, only starting last year. I was hoping this website could be a way to expand my website programming knowledge and so far its proved to be very good at that. The site is located at http://www.radio1now.co.cc Thanks, Tim Coysh
