why did I decide to support them?
because:
- with their big choice of channels, they give us the choice too. And choice means freedom.
- they provide all these services for … FREE ; and as I know well hosting streaming services, I know it costs a lot to do that!
- their channels provide very good music ; nice choices on each channel!
- you can listen to them everywhere in the world from internet! no matters fm propagation problems etc. so it is very useful. (and you can listen to it with smartphone or internet!)
- the name & title of their radio are just amazing!
after all, I didn’t know that learning javascript would drive me to use it in a music project.
indeed, the gridHandler.js script observe my clips grid and inform the protodeck controller.
because .als are only zipped .xml, because a protofuse song = 8×6 clips grid + 8 chains inside racks, thinking about a parser that could extract a song to put inside a liveset made for the performances…
indeed, if I often compose live directly from scratch, I’d LOVE to EASILY import a song from a liveset in another liveset.
Easily would mean avoiding that:
- copy the clips (the easiest part)
- copy each corresponding chain from the source liveset to the correct racks/tracks in the destination liveset.
parsing things could be nice.
I’ll probably work on that on next months.
Before, I have to be sure the als structure isn’t evolving in each minor release :p
I’d love to work on that with another people.
If you’re open to do that, email me
