- Why a new playlist page?
- We have built a new playlist and music metadata service using Microsoft Azure and this page utilizes those services. It’s the building block for a variety of new and upcoming features on kexp.org.
- Why only Amazon buy links?
- It’s because of the album art that we get from amazon.com. Per their terms of use, we can only provide links to their store.
- Why do you still have the old playlist?
- Some of our users like to print out the old playlist view. We’ll be releasing a version of the new playlist that also supports a grid style view in the next few weeks.
- What else is coming?
- You’ll soon be able to post to Twitter and Facebook when you like a song.
- We’ll be able to offer more information about the currently playing song…such as play history, links to their website, videos that we may have etc
- And, much much more.
- I don’t like the new playlist page!
- Drop us an email at web@kexp.org
- It doesn’t work on my computer/browser, etc.
- Drop us an email at web@kexp.org with details on your machine, browser, etc and we’ll figure it out!
- Why don’t you provide an rss feed or REST service for your playlist?
- We have run in to problems in the past where some folks abuse the service and build experiences around the metadata that have negatively impacted our servers and/or does not provide a good experience. If you’d like to build something with the station, please drop us a line at web@kexp.org

hi
i want to see the release year of currently playing song.
thanks a lot , best wishes from istanbul !
and you know john ” this is the day”
new playlist does not seem to auto-refresh
using firefox 10.0.1
I also would like to see the release date for each song played. Also, the playlist does not auto refresh in Chrome. Nice job, looks like it has promise.
Please add the release date.
Thumbs up for the new playlist. Digging the album art. However, I second Baris’s suggestion of including the release year for the currently playing song/album. Rock!
Really like the new playlist. I also would like to see the release date!
Like the new format, but really wish I didn’t have to refresh the page for an update. I’m using Firefox 10.0.2
I like the new format, but it also is not auto-refreshing on Firefox 3.6.27.
Looks nice but doesn’t auto-refresh using Safari 5.1.2
It doesn’t look like Amazon is holding up their end of the deal with album art!
Love the new playlist! TIP (shhh): Because the covers/artwork do not display in the mini-playlist, all the Buy links display (Amazon, Amazon MP3, iTunes, Easy Street, Silver Platters, Sonic Boom, In Sound, Zune). :D
