Radio: Roll Your Own Accurate Chart

If you have iTunes or Windows Media Player, you can create your very own airplay chart with a software plug-in from http://www.lastfm.com

To see some chart samples go to: http://www.last.fm/user/dbmurray/charts/

Note that one if you choose "Weekly" and "Tracks" in the Chart Selector, you can view a listing of tracks that were played for each week of the selected month. It even includes the number of spins for each track.

Here's the point of my post...if you're a charting station for
Singing News, SoGospelNews.com, U. S. Gospel News or some other Southern Gospel chart, you can use this software to automatically log your airplay. It works with CDs as well as tagged .mp3 files on the hard drive. This free solution will give you the ability to file airplay reports based on concrete FACTS rather than a monthly round of guesswork.

There's really no excuse for inaccurate airplay reporting any more.

By the way, if you look to the left side of my blog, you'll see a list of the last 10 songs I played on my computer. It's simply displaying the results of the chart's dynamic RSS feed. So as you can see, another application of LastFM for a radio station would be to display the songs you just played on your website in real time.
