that's what I heard as well.

but the depth of the library elsewhere doesn't even compare to the Moon, I wait with baited breath to be corrected.

well, I have no idea about the depth of the others, but they all seem to have their own personalities to some extent. I've heard/seen songs on other stations that are not in the AM library. Probably has a lot to do with the tastes of the people running the stations. and really, it doesn't matter how deep the library is if there's currently a 35 minute Klaus song playing. ;-)

that all said, the original plan was to dump all the data into a database to see if I could come up with some trend info about prog on the Internet. (most played songs/albums/bands, number of different artists played per station, number of requests per day, etc) That's why I tried to find so many stations. However, like I was telling Goo when I was talking to him about turning my program into a web page, once I got the parsers written for all of those pages, it was obvious that something like that would require a table for mapping all the crappy data to some master list, and maintaining something like that was way beyond what I wanted to do. (no, seriously, the consistency of the song information is hilariously bad)

anyway, it was a fun project, but it's dead now. I kinda ran out of things I could do to it without doing actual work. lol.
