the streaming itunes experiment...
I set up NiceCast [do a Google on it. I don't want to draw to much attention to myself!] to randomly broadcast the music in my iTunes library continuously for 12 hours while I was at work yesterday. During that time, we had 39 listeners, each of who stayed for an average of 14 minutes. I imagine some people came back more than once. The software clearly works, but the big issue for me is, why would I want to mindlessly broadcast my music to the world? Of course, I haven't mentioned that doing this effectively gives me access to my music from anywhere in the world, and that is quite cool. I guess the long and the short of this is...the experiment is over. Radio Free McMuffin is no more...

I stayed for 14 seconds, that was all the Joan Jett I could stomach!

How could you! Joan Jett is great. Have you no taste?

Of course I have taste, but it's all bad! ;-)

I'll admit I stayed for many hours. I think you have a great eclectic selection. Sometimes the session would disconnect and I would have to refresh or it would start doing the wavy gravy thing again and I would have to close out and reconnect. I probably account for at least 10 of those hits because of that.
I'm sorry if I ruined Radio Free mcMuffin for the rest of the world.

I'm just glad that no one had to listen to my 'Young Gods'. We keep it as a personal 'don't do drugs' reminder.

Actually I think Jo accounted for all of the time other than my 14 seconds. She clearly has bad taste on a par with the McMuffins!
