the main issue might be "how do you time it, because the songs are different lengths", but errrm. so what. just use your local length. no more talking about 'this song' on oneliner
mirrorbird(01:28:58)
which does mean banned and not moved. arf. hmm it really isn't that hard to grab all your chip game faves. i think my "mix from different radio streams protocol" has some legs
mirrorbird(01:28:14)
"occasional game tune" -- again see FAQ. there are a few c64 hits that will probably never be removed because there are 100 users who faved 'em. but the amstrad cpc "manchester united football" may get 'moved'
mirrorbird(01:27:24)
still. i guess i realised... peer to peer was lonely. people like social listening (radio) but the larger the audience, the fewer you can please (not all the people all the time, eh)
mirrorbird(01:26:52)
i was too lazy and shit to do it. hahaha.

I like hearing the occasional game tune here; I would never want to listen to an exclusively game tune channel.
mirrorbird(01:26:44)
in ye olde days i thought about making a "listen together" app that would be a player, but for two people, and while listening to the same song, it would be downloading the next one (from either's collection)
mirrorbird(01:26:13)
quite possible, but not sure who wants to support it.
mirrorbird(01:26:03)
perhaps a future protocol will allow "take songs from these two radios i like, a game one and a demo one"
mirrorbird(01:24:54)
Oldchap: yes then we hit the issue that radio plays the same stream for everyone, and is a thematic compromise. if you want only your stuff, simply make your own playlist.
