Project 42 Radio

The new “Rate The Music” page is now up and waiting for you! Click “Rate The Music” at the top of the page to see the most recent songs played. Give the songs a “thumbs up” if you like them, or a “thumbs down” if you don’t. Links to more song, artist and concert information are there, too, along with links to buy your favorites as MP3 downloads at Amazon.com. We get a few pennies from those purchases, so if you hear a great song here, we hope you’ll use the link to buy it.

Still to come: An updated request form and then…well, stay tuned…

Keane – “Stop For A Minute”

Rob Thomas – “Mockingbird”

First…we’ve had listeners from 46 countries check out Project 42 Radio over the last 30 days. All we can say is “wow”. Thanks for trying us out, and we hope you all tune in often!

Second…we have had problems with the tech in the Secret Broadcast Cave over the last three weekends. It’s been frustrating, to say the least. After yet another crash Friday May 2nd, we moved to a different software platform and to new computers. Since the upgrade, things have been running much better.

There is a compromise in this…in order to keep the Project running well, we’ve had to disable our automated request feature. We know many of you liked this (some of you really liked it), but we can’t keep it running if it may be causing the whole station to go down.  In the near future, we’ll set up an email address where you can send your requests, and play them during a certain time of the day (likely in the evening, since we all still have day jobs to pay the bills).  We’ll keep you posted.

The song rating feature on the Now Playing sidebar is temporarily disabled. The tech boys and girls in the back of the Secret Broadcast cave are troubleshooting it now. You can still get song, artist, and concert info, as well as Amazon MP3 links, to each song by just rolling your mouse over any song in the list.

….and there was much rejoicing.

Our stream host has informed me our server is down. I’ll post more updates as I get them.

UPDATE, 1:23 PM CDT: An uplink at the stream host being replaced. No word on how long this will take.

We’re back up and running. Well, we were still running. Now you can hear it.

Our music licensing partner, LoudCity, has deleted Project 42 Radio from its listings. In order to stay legal, our music stream has to launch from the LoudCity domain. Until this matter is resolved, I’m afraid you won’t be able to listen. I apologize for this, and I’ll let you all know what’s happening as soon as I know.
