If you've had a strange feeling that you're listening the same tunes
every day, that's because the Live365 playlist shuffle doesn't seem to
work too well. Actually, it doesn't seem to work at all. So, every
time I've restarted the daytime playlist, we've heard the same tunes
in the same order... :( I'll randomize the daytime playlist manually
every morning for now on... (I just restarted today's daytime
broadcast.) Tune in again. You'll hear some new tunes now... ;)
I just can't do some things on Live365. For example, you won't see ID3
tags (*) of the Commie radio tunes, because live365 just ignores them.
I try to make the file names as descriptive as possible. Unfortunately
Mac supports only 31 characters in file names, so I can't do
miracles...
For your informatoin, on lower resolutions (like 32 kbps used in
Commie radio), Lame makes noticeably better-sounding mp3's than
BladeEnc. (Macromedia's encoder makes quite good job too. It's
available for some Mac sound editors - like SoundEdit16 and Peak.) If
you hear a tune on Commie with a lot lower sound quality than the
others, you know that you're listening to a BladeEnced tune. I'll use
Lame or the Macromedia encoder only for now on.
