ICYG Update

I've been having fun creating the ICYG Website over the last few days. I'm using it as an opportunity to get down-and-dirty with CSS, Zope, and Python scripting. There's not much there now, but it will continue to get tweaked and fleshed out as the weeks go on.

One thing I noted in an email to Don was that I don't know of any streaming audio providers that appear to be generating per-song URL information through tag infomation. The stuff I've seen (like SomaFM's "recently played" pages) appears to use database-lookup URLs based on text substitution. Am I onto something here?

Comments

The page is looking good. I noticed a slight layout change. I have been listening to a lot of ICYG.

I like the idea of using tag info from the file. Keep on rockin!

I've been tweaking the handmade CSS as I'm learning. I'm hoping it will look a LOT different later. I'm tweaking the playlist maker algoritm a bit as well, trying work even more artists into the mix.
