Soarin' Station

Guy · Post by **Guy** » Jul Fri 06, 2007 8:39 am

I was just wondering what music the Soarin' station plays as some of it is really nice (very John Williams). I cannot find a playlist for it.

it's all tracks that we currently have in the playlist. Just do a search for Soarin.

I really like the chanel as it doesn't have any spoken bit which is cool for when you are working! Cheers for the info js3901

As a quick update, track 10 Queue. I'm not sure if Subsonic has put that one up yet.

When I listened earlier the name that came up on iTunes was track 10 queue so I'm assume they have. I have done a search and there is only about 45mins of music for soarin'. Does this mean that this station repeats after 45mins?

Nope it repeats every 95 Minutes 27 Seconds.

I listened to it the other day because the request generated a 60 minute loop of Paradise Pier which I didnt care for, so listening to Soarin' Station is a very good alternative selection

What code?

The little program that does the length of an MP3 file? Took me about 5 minutes in perl...

Code: Select all

#!/usr/bin/perl

use MP3::Info; 

while ( <>) { 
   $n = $_;
   chomp $n;
   $i=get_mp3info( $n); 
   printf "%4d:%0.2d %s\n", $i->{MM}, $i->{SS}, $n; 
   $t += (60*$i->{MM})+$i->{SS};
} 

printf "%4d:%0.2d TOTAL\n", $t/60, $t%60;

exit 0;

I didn't realise you were behind the design of the site.

I'm not... That is all other people. I just setup the Soarin' station/channel, and Subsonic linked to it.

I use both Icecast (Icecast.org), and shoutcast (shoutcast.com). Subsonic uses just shoutcast, as I recall. The website and designed and all of that is Subsonic, and some others (he'll have to speak up to tell you who all is involved with what.)

Got'ya. Thanks for the info!

The Soarin' stream is an awesome addition! It's just the thing when something pops up in the Requests that I don't want to sit through (like the long, Sci-Fi track with all the cheesy movie trailers). Plus the music is perfect for listening while working; I never get tired of it. Thanks for making a great SR even better!

Me too, sometimes I just want to listen to something peaceful without any words, it's good for those times.

Hi!

I absolutely love Soarin' - the music and the ride, and love the Soarin' Station - when I heard a part of the Apollo 13 music, I started searching for info and found on Wikipedia that the music in all the waiting areas plus outside the ride building is music from a variety of Hollywood action and war films, including the themes from Patton (also by Jerry Goldsmith), The Last Starfighter, Air Force One, Apollo 13) etc.

I haven't posted before, so would like to thank everyone who is responsible for SR!
