So what about someone like good old Romeotuma / Lazarus or what ever he is these days ?  He rated everything a 10.

Love it and the cute intro video! Well done! So looking forward to all that's coming.

So excited for the Events page, not that I can be there often as I live in SOCAL, but it's duly noted.  

The Becoming William blog post- OMG fantastic writing! Thank you for sharing such a personal story William. 

Glad to know Alanna is jumping in board and congrats to Rebecca for taking care of herself. I've turned so many people on to RP.  We LOVE you !

Edit - I also look forward to some of the mentioned self procurement music options. I like when I accidently leave it on my favorites and find myself thinking "man, Bill is killing it today". I also think it would be cool to be able to select someone else's favorites. 

That's discrimination against polytheists. At least the ones with a whole pantheon of gods.

Hmmm. I thought I edited this last night, but my tablet is real laggy at times, so who knows. I did find the tracking pick in What's Playing. It does not seem to sync correctly with what I am hearing. On 17 Sept 12:23 PM ET, the Roku segued to Morcheeba, but the tracker has Beth Hart & Joe Bonamassa starting at 12:20. Last night it was behind the Roku, Showing 78Saab instead of George Harrison.  The first example is on Opera (Chromium)/Xubuntu 22.04LTS, the second on an Android tablet. The old tracker is fine. 



I'm with rgio on the ratings, I only rate 7 and above, with the most as 8's (62%). The point is to load My Favorites, which I use in the car.




Looks like there was a typo in there,  that should be good now.
Thanks for pointing it out.

I would still have 10s. my rating system goes to 11 (for a bit).

FYI - in the song comments....the thumbs up / thumbs down for any comment with double-digit input is stacking the number (out of space).

11  comes out as

1

On the song ratings, I see I've given this song a green heart. Is it a 10? That's hard to believe. 9, maybe, 8? that heart looks too dark for an 8. I just can't tell. Oh, if I click the heart it pops up the scale and.... still hard to see OH the 9-bar has a green highlight. If that were a red line, I'd have the same issue on the bottom end of the scale but I don't care.

Maybe that highlight should be blue....

Edit: And I'm pretty good at discerning subtle differences in colors and fully acknowledge that it might be a trick of the eye, but I swear that Green heart is darker than the 8 green in the rating scale. Or is it "you gave this a 7 or above so here's your green heart" sort of thing?

Edit2: Yeah the color of the heart has only a ballpark correlation with the 1–10 graph colors. Can you put a 9 over the 9-heart?

Same here. I was able to donate, but it was an odd quirk.

OK. Found the PayPal issue. Should be OK now. Have I mentioned my loathing for PayPal lately?  Nothing personal towards anyone who works there, or anyone who happily uses their service. They do a perfectly acceptable job at everything with the massive, glaring exception of their API and merchant tools. I have a huge list of things that I can do in seconds on Stripe and GoCardless (our other two main processors) that take long, painful hours with PayPal.  The payment system is the last part of our public web stuff that I'm personally responsible for coding & maintaining, and I am very much looking forward to handing that one off too. I'd much rather be a DJ! I'm so much better at that...
Gotta say that I sure like the new font we're using for the forum (& basically everything else). Very clean.
