I vote Yes.

Wow. Whatever.

Do the first quote. Then copy and paste the quoted quote. Then scroll down and copy the second text you wanna qoute. Scroll back up and replace the pasted quote. But make sure leave all the [ and ] stuff intact.
Now, my great-grandmother had a saying: If you stir the pot, the s&%$ gonna stink. So this will be my last post in this thread. Ok, maybe it was three hours, but I sure seemed closer to 6-8 to me, and I
was at my computer most of the day as well.
(maybe it played three times? - I doubt it) Regardless of 6 hours or 12 hours, let me clarify something that was misunderstood.

At first I thought 24 hours was excessive, upon further thought it's not TOO bad. However, the poor sod coming in for the first time wanting the song might like to know he's not going to get it for another 24 hours.

As I stated before, if Roundabout played at noon and someone requested it at 4p, they would not get this message: "Artist/Song will play shortly according to the request policy this station follows," or however it's actaually worded, and then be force to wait 20 hours for it to play. Instead, they would get this message:

or even, "Song played within last 24 hours. Please feel free to request another." Notice, this would still allow them to request another song. It's that old radio standby "no-repeat workday." And yes, upon reflection, I too agree that 36 or 48 hours is too long. But as Mossy said above, we have over 11,000 tracks in the library. I don't think it's "ridiculous" or "overboard" to think a no-repeat 24-hour programming is a swell idea.
I resign from this thread and bid you adieau. See you in black and white rooms.
