ANNOUNCING: Two For Tuesdays on Freeze-Frame Radio!


Ladies N' Gentlemen,

Tuesdays are now TWO FOR TUESDAYS ON FFR.

Double your pleasure to help you recover from that dreaded Monday!

It works like this,

For every song you request, the system automatically plays another song by the same artist (assuming the artist has two songs in our library).

The second song DOES NOT COUNT against your requests.

Now, you'll have to bear with us while we test this. 

For now I have the system set to allow 2 requests every 45 minutes.  Since we'll be doubling the song total we have to cut back a little on requests to avoid huge backups.

Tuesdays might at times be only one request every 30 minutes.  We'll see how the current plan works out first though.

Enjoy.

I like the use of the computer to help program the station, with the HUMAN element still there!  Great stuff!

Woo,

That's something I gotta try to figure out how to avoid, but actually, the Xmas music won't play, it will simply burn up upon entering Freeze-Frame's atmosphere.

If a Xmas song is picked as the second song your twofer will automatically become a onefer. I'm working on a fix for this.

So if there isn't another song by the same artist it just picks another song at random?

i.e-Crash Test Dummies followed by The Bangles

actually no, it SHOULD just play one and move on to the next two-fer.

Yeah, that bangles song wasn't requested. I wonder if someone requested one before it that had a problem with the file.

I am too!

It's kind of cool to hear back to back from the artists once in awhile.

I particularly like it when it happens to be an older hit and a newer hit (of course, in most cases I mean early seventies and then late eighties).

I do think we'll have to reduce the request count on Tuesdays though. Right now it's set at 1 per hour and we have over four hours of music lined up.

Oh, just so everyone knows,

I'm going to try to remove the current hits on Tuesdays, so that day will be all about the twofer (of course you can still REQUEST a current hit).

And I think what I'll do for the request limit is allow 1 every 30 minutes to start, and if we get really backed up switch to 1 per hour at noon.
