Hi Tom. I would think that my show would be best offered as recorded, allowing the Internet stations that make up my target market to run them when they wish. There's also the possibility of something going wrong during a live show and I'm not looking for that sort of adventure. :)
If you can learn what format is generally preferred by stations, that would be a huge help. I would really appreciate it if you would ask the question. I will look into Station Playlist. Do you know if it facilitates playing tracks back to back directly from the computer? Or will I need another music source, such as a CD player or whatever? Thanks again for your very helpful reply.
