What time does the skipping usually stop again?
One temporary solution would be to put the station into backup mode between about 3pm and 10pm. During this time you wouldn't be able to make requests, but at least you could listen to a clear stream. Backup mode is music that I've uploaded to Live365 so it plays directly from them and is not relayed like our normal live stream. "Backup mode" has 40 hours of music right now (mostly 2008-2009 releases) so there's plenty of variety. Let me know what you think. In the meantime I have a trouble ticket in with Live365, and I'll contact my ISP to see if they can tell me what's going on.

Firewind coundtry code
Small thing, but in the spirit of keeping the database accurate...
Firewind shows up with a country code of SI (Slovenia according to ISO), but according to their website they are from Greece.
Love the music!

Skipping in Chris Squire "Fish Out Of Water"
There is skipping in several songs from Chris Squire "Fish Out of Water".
I noticed it at the beginning of the track "Silently Falling".

Coma Divine
On Porcupine Tree-Coma Divine, the first song Bornlivedieintro needs to be combined with the next song, Signify. Hal picked it tonight on a 2fer Saturday after my PT request and I felt ripped off....cause it really isn't even a song at all!
THANKS!
Also, later tonight, HAL picked Live For A Moment (Bass Solo) (1:24) by Sunchild-The Invisible Line. Cool solo, but also needs to be combined with either the song before or after it.
And just as I was writing this, HAL did it again, twice!! Karmakanic- Cello Suite No. 1 in G Major (1:03) and Saga-Entracte (:49). Hal must not be a true prog fan...he doesn't like the long songs! Anyway, all those little snippets of music need to be combined with other songs, I think....

Re: Coma Divine
That's odd because the shortest track in HAL's song pool is 2:43... it must be somehow related to the Saturday 2-fer script. I'll look into it. I don't necessarily agree that all short tracks should be merged into other songs, either. For me it only makes sense if the two tracks naturally flow together and both sound like part of the same song idea.karisssss wrote:

Re: Coma Divine
Yeah, I agree with you on that, scout. But often, those really short tracks just don't sound right alone either. Perhaps some of them were designed to flow into another song, but probably not all are. And these songs I mentioned...I don't really know them or the other songs on these albums well, so maybe I shouldn't have said they should all be merged... but I am sure you'll make the correct judgement on them. But PT Coma Divine...definitely needs to be merged.scout wrote:That's odd because the shortest track in HAL's song pool is 2:43... it must be somehow related to the Saturday 2-fer script.
