After some finagling, I discovered that I was incorrect about Radionomy not being able to recognize a number of the songs that I’ve uploaded. (It turns out that I’m just REALLY impatient.) I tried uploading a song by The Shamen (“Destination Eschaton,” which is full of Illuminati references…) and the upload process stalled, giving me a little, yellow exclamation point---which I took to mean that the host site couldn’t recognize or verify my song, so I gave up and went to bed. The next morning when I got up and checked the site, the exclamation point was GONE and the song was “verified.” I was happy, because I really like that song and wanted to play it. Next, I thought to myself, “Maybe I was just too impatient, and some of those other songs that I tried to upload might have just needed more time to be recognized.” (I’m paraphrasing, of course, because I don’t really remember what I thought to myself…) And so I re-uploaded a bunch of the songs that I thought failed before, and almost all of them were quickly recognized the 2nd time I tried!!! Excellent. The Specials, Vicious Pink, Misfits, D-Mob, etc., etc., etc…. All up and running now!
At this point, only one cut has failed to be verifiable, the song, “Shock Treatment” by Richard O’Brien and Patricia Quinn, from the soundtrack to the sequel to THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW. I’ve had a couple of songs upload and be verified, but with the wrong artist or title info, which is frustrating. In most cases, I’m just deleting the song if it’s not the proper info, but in a couple of cases, I’ve just left it and written a note in the song’s file that the title or artist information was incorrect.
Overall, though, I’m very happy with the host, and the station has been up and running for about a week! If you haven’t yet, click on by and give it a listen!!!
