not just the Haunted Mansion, but it's a small world, and the long Epcot - The Land interior and Wonders of Life interior loops (both over an hour long) played eveery couple of hours. and back then, you couldn't see who requested the tracks to give them a talking-to about the situation...

Ooooo.,... that would be bad. I like being able to see who requested. I like the idea of putting a time limit on it so the same stuff doesn't play all the time, but I don't know if 3 days isn't too long. But then again, it's sub's site and he pays the bills so it's the golden rule (he who has the gold rules) :lol:

I love Subsonic Radio. I gives me a little magic to keep me settled between trips to WDW. I also glad that things are not repeated too often. I love hearing tracks and trying to figure out where I've heard them before without looking at the Now Playing list.

From what I understand, only about half of the tracks Sub has is currently available to request/play. When the new tracks get added in the future, there will more to choose from, and thus, more of a chance your track will be available for playing.

Have to admit, the long EPCOT Center tracks are among my very favorites so I would of been a primary suspect on requesting those. :lol:

Well as many have said the request feature is awsome, and Ive never seen such a huge collection of Area music. THAT really makes me feel like im in Disney, that constant music in the background.

Thanks for all the replys and again great to be here.

Amen to that. I was listening to Live365 the other day (something I used to do a lot before I found this place) in search of some tracks SR doesn't have (yet). It was soooo irritating not to be able to request something. Every once in a while I'd catch myself thinking 'Hey I should put on... wait I can't.' I was surprised how used to requesting I've gotten. I'm actually glad now my workplace blocks 365 so I had to seek this place out. ;)
