Yup, it was called Eclecticmeme.com and had several threads in Everything Else (including a sticky) and a few threads here in the cafe.
I believe that Techbot, the guy who virtually single-handedly funded and ran the thing, finally pulled the plug through lack of interest.

Pity. It was good.

It costs a load of cash to run a radio station online.

Yeah, that's my point. (Although it costs nothing to listen to it.

) The guy was funding it himself but getting precious little interest, so what was his incentive? In the end, the few that supported him just wasn't enough for him to keep it going. Not to mention the time he put into it and the technical problems caused by a crap server company. Too much for one guy with too little support.

This fills the gap left by the station nicely though.

Yep, streaming on demand is the way to go.

This is a really nice tool, to get a quick overview of the music people play, nice work.

I must say there is plenty with also good quality :harp:

Kind regards,

Enjoy the day if it's your last!

It's great, but it needs a feature that allows us to rename our mp3s. i upload my to a mp3 hosting site and they rename to a number.

I got a question to that, unless that was already answered.

Let's say I post my track on 15th January and present a public beta or something like that, tell the peeps that I'm still working on it, but feel confident enough to post it already, even though it's only 70% done.

Then I come back in like 4 weeks (around 10th February), update the first post with the finished version and write on the replay "I'm done folks, take a listen".

How does the tracker respond to that? Will it find my track anew, or will it ignore my post as it's a month old and was listed in the "last 100 tracks" playlist on the tracker page?

I don't want to spam the boards with every new version of my track.

EDIT:
Oh yeah, almost forgot. Are "remixes" allowed?
(i.e. from videogames, own tracks over vocal bootlegs, cover versions, etc)

FYI

Someone requested *.m4a support, so I've just added it.

Hi Ben,
How periodically does it search the first posts? I posted this last night.
It has 2 tracks on the first post, both streamable MP3's from my site.
But the first one was not recognized on the KVR music page.
Anything i can do to fix that or will it fix itself? I listen to that KVR music page a lot these days, especially at work.
Thanks in advance.
J
