DMusic radio / playlists

sturges	Date: November 24, 2004 @ 1:15 AM Hey, I'm new here, and have searched through the help to find out how music is selected for radio / playlists here at DMusic. I can't seem to find anything... How are artists / tracks selected? Also, the radio links on the main index page aren't working for me (probably addressed in the forums, but I can't find it). Any info? Again, sorry if this is posted somewhere - I've really searched to try to find out. Thanks, all! Love DMusic - this site is fantastic!!! Jason Sturges
Dexter	Date: November 24, 2004 @ 7:55 AM The following 2 paragraphs I've copied and pasted from the section of the site pertained specifically to the DM Picks but will influence the decision of those of us who compile playlists for the stations. Otherwise it is just down to the taste of the individual compiler and requsts / suggestions from users such as yourself What is the “Bin”? The Bin is the section where all new music uploaded to DMusic goes. How does an artist move from the “Bin” to become a “DM Pick”? Quality, popularity, and/or continued site interaction are the keys to becoming a DM Pick. It’s as simple as that. Recording quality music is always the best way to become a Pick. Developing a site following with your music is also a good way to become a Pick. Finally, when the community is aware of you and it becomes known that you have a certain spark, gusto, zest, or personal appeal, the administration becomes aware of you. Any of these will often result in becoming a DM Pick. Hope that answers your question. As for your streaming problem: I haven't got a I know as much about those sort of things as Anna Nicole Smith does about subtlety! Could it be that you're on dial-up? I know this is the kind of thing that Cryxan could deal with. However I do believe that streaming issues have been addressed in the Forums previously. Maybe you can find the answer you're looking for there Glad you enjoy the site! TTFN.
sturges	Date: November 24, 2004 @ 10:15 AM Hey, Thanks for the information!! Sorry I missed it in the documentation.... Yeah, for the radio, when I click HiFi, I'm taken to: http://files.dmusic.com:8002/listen.pls ...which gives me a page cannot be displayed standard style error. Probably a client problem on my side, or maybe it's a security issue blocking the 8002 port? As for my internet, I'm on cable with about 3 Mb transfer rate - it zooms. I'll dig around in the forums - I'm sure it's in there somewhere. Thanks so much for your help!!!! Much appreciated!!!!! Jason Sturges

pog	Date: November 24, 2004 @ 7:58 PM I see what you mean... it seems there is a glitch in the link... possibly it's been moved. For now, I'd just pick a genre that you wish to listen to in that drop down list (just below the links you were clicking on)
sturges	Date: November 25, 2004 @ 1:27 AM Thanks! Yeah - I couldn't figure it out... WinAmp's my main player, and I tried drag-n'-drop into it... nothing happened... Thanks for the tip! (didn't try that) Jason Sturges
