No doubt you’ve seen it. I think it was released too early. There still are lots of bugs. If you’re having problems be sure to check the Wiki Page that explains things and offers tips. As I have nothing to do with these pages I can’t offer any other suggestions.
I hope things are fixed soon. I’m not to happy with this “improvement”.

Finally! I’ve got enough easy instrumental music recorded in better quality so that an upgrade of Easy Standard Time is possible. The station is now in 64 kbps mp3PRO, which means that those who are VIP members and others who use an mp3PRO capable player can hear the music in (almost) CD quality sound.
Another change is the name of the station. No more Easy Standard Time. The new name is Instrumental Breezes. It better describes the music. But your presets won’t change. The broadcaster name, vgroove, won’t (and can’t) be changed.
I hope you all enjoy the improvements.

I’ve been hearing and reading reports that some listeners are having problems getting Live365 stations to play. It seems that Live365 has released a new Flash player and made it the default for those of you who listen to the usual embedded pop-up player. But it has problems, especially for listeners using the newest versions of Windows Internet Explorer.
If you’re experiencing this problem, it’s easy to fix. Go to the bottom of almost any Live365 web page and click “Listening Settings” next to the headset icon. On the page that appears, scroll down to “Web Player Options” and click the button labelled “Player365-Flash v2.0″ or “Player365-WMP”. Then scroll down and click the button labelled “Save Settings”.
Your player should now work and you can enjoy the station of your choice. I hope that it’s one of mine.

“Stuck in the ’50s” listeners may notice a lot more variety in the music lately. While I have added more songs that didn’t quite make the “Top Forty”, most of the variety is due to the new software I now use to create the playlists. It’s not completely automatic, but it does save a lot of typing and keeps track of what is in the list and warns me if I have too many songs by one artist or from one album. Because of the time saved I’ve been changing the playlist every day. Listenership has been increasing and I thank all of you for that.

My web hosting provider is no longer offering the comics so I’ve removed the links from the column to the left. Actually, Foxtrot hasn’t worked for a few days. I’m sorry to see them go. My local newspaper doesn’t carry Foxtrot on weekdays and I enjoyed following the daily misadventures of the family.
Update: The AP News seems to be reliable again, so the link is now active to the left.
