anyone heard of this law before q can i get a playlist a we are unable to offer a playlist the digital performance right in sound recordings act of NUMBER passed by congress prevents us from disclosing such information the digital law states that if one is transmitting a digital signal song information cannot be pre announced it is a music choice policy not to release a playlist of upcoming or previously played songs recently musicchoice upgraded their website with a very important service as far as i m concerned real time song info from their website my directv receiver is up on a shelf and its display scrolls intermittently and i m surely not going to fire up my projector while listening to the radio so i m quite happy that i can retrieve r t song info with urls like URL URL URL etc now if i were a more eager hacker i d write up little wsdl stubs for these event streams they re clearly not worried about load since their own web pages specify NUMBER sec meta refresh and then feed em through a content router to alert me to cool songs heck cross reference the service to cddb and rk
