>>> It appears that there are sites that allow you to create your own radio station... and it appears to be no charge...

Floyd,
Thanks. It's an amazing time of the world we live in. Who knew?...you can setup a free radio station, with your own playlists. You know when you're hearing a new idea or product, and it takes a few minutes of (fun) creative thinking to imagine all kinds of interesting things that could be done with that. So thanks for that link, I'll check that out.

Ideally we want something that :

- plays a song "randomly" from the user showcase database ( of songs that composers have approved to be allowed in the radio). Randomly is in quotes, because there might be features to modify the randomness like apple radio has- "less like this". "More like this"
- for each song has a text input page. This would be the type of thing that is present in the very first posting in the user showcase. Namely the composer talking about the song, describing BB/RB Realtracks used, and providing a link to the composers website for more info.

One great thing about songs, is that they sound better with every listen. My mother is 96, and has played music her whole life. She can enjoy Moonlight Sonata as much or more than anyone, even though she's heard it thousands of times. It doesn't work that way other art forms, such as movies, paintings etc. "want to watch Citizen Kane... Nope... Seen it". But if someone says "want to hear' Purple-people-eater' Of course...that's a great song,"

My point here is that any exposure that songs can get from radio airplay should enhance the popularity. For example, you (Floyd) have written an incredible number of great songs. I'd love to hear them as part of the radio repertoire, just as much as like to hear Billy Joel's songs.

Have Fun!
