Background Music Stream

I love the stream, but the listing of the songs does not seem to update. I enjoy listening to the music then checking to see what the music is that is playing.

Check out the SR Radio Player. It handles all Streams and lets you see whats currently playing and the Time left.

I understand, but the page at http://www.subsonicradio.com/station/background.php seems to be stuck.

that page does not update like the Now Playing page for the request stream. As the page says, all those tracks play randomly on the background stream. It's not meant to be a now playing page, just lets you know what tracks to expect.

thats why I suggested the Radio Player it will show you what is playing and what was just played. If you are running Windows this program will do the trick for you.

One more think, at 2:20 EST, on the background channel there was the Walt Disney World - monorail - magic kingdom loop. Didn't know if that track was entered by accident or if it was meant to be in the playlist.

That track has been removed.

Any track that is not instrumental will be removed. We threw the play list together quickly so there may be some tracks that don't belong. As I hear then I have been removing them.

Here's another non-instrumental one:
EPCOT - futureworld - wonders of life - body wars - upper queue area

I wasn't here for the launch of the new channel, but I greatly appreciate it. The mixes of the full loops are different than the individual tunes, so it's almost like new music to me.

Thanks for your hard work!

Here is a suggestion, for someone that has the time (like me maybe), can we get some levels on these tracks. What I mean, from a audio junkie perspective, is can we kind of control the levels of the songs so they all will top out at the same volume. I keep getting one track that is quite as a mouse, and the next one louder than all get out. If they already have been then delete this post and ignore my ravings.

The normalization of the track is an huge undertaking, and growing everyday. Hopefully we are weeding out some of the "bad" low volume tracks, with new higher quality ones.

The volume irregularities are more noticeable with the background stream, because we are using a different streaming app that does not auto-regulate the volume.

It would be great to have a list of songs with their quality labeled such as:

EPCOT - futureworld - wonders of life - body wars - upper queue area 128K

that way if we have a higher quality one we can send it to you.
