timer countdown per song on queue

Quindel · Cadet 1 Joined: Apr 28, 2003 Posts: 2

Is it possible to have on the queue, an about time when the song on a queue will be played?

For example, Song XYZ is 3 minutes long and #15 on the list. I'd like to know that that song will be played in 45 minutes from now.

I'd like to see a Played-in time. Song YZ will be played 1:35 from now.

Thanks.

We are not allowed to show this information. One of the many RIAA rules / restrictions

This question is one that comes up a lot, right up there with "Why not post the artists' names in the queue?" Maybe the station FAQ should be amended to reflect the relevant RIAA rules, or even a note on the request page, so new people can get their answers even before the questions form.

Not only new people Lady, Quindel is a member since 2003. Wink

Although I agree we should add the most common questions related to the RIAA restrictions somewhere. Of course people will still ask. But then we give the link to that FAQ (or forum post)

Thanks for getting back to me. I was unaware that there was a rule on this. Please add this question to the FAQ and post it so people like me don't need to reask. Thank you!

I know it's not terribly accurate, but you can always note the time you requested and the length of the queue once your req has been added. It's usually close enough, though in my experience it often takes a little longer to play than that estimate, on account of the station IDs and the vagaries of streaming.

And don't forget the length of the track actually playing. When it's a ten minutes track, it does have an influence

I created a script to display additional column with countdown timer per each song. If you run this script in your browser, it just reads length of individual song, dynamically counts the time to this song and adds this value to the 'Time to' column. It has no effect to the website, this script runs in the client browser and works basically like a plugin. If you manually refresh the queue page, script will be removed and you will see the original queue without 'Time to' column.
I've tested this only in Firefox and Chrome and I'm sure it doesnt work in IE right now. Script is strictly dependent on the current structure of the page.
Install: create new bookmark and add script as location/address URL/path, go to queue (http://www.streamingsoundtracks.com/modules.php?name=Queue_Played) and push created bookmark.
