This URL shouldn’t give us any problems (knock on wood)…

Every afternoon since I’ve switched to a new stream host, the stream has had problems. They offered to switch me to a new server yesterday, but I declined, because things had improved by the time they presented me with that solution. But the stream is gone again, so I’ve requested a new server ASAP, which […]

I can tell from work that the stream sounds lousy, and I’ve got the stream host looking into it. I’d downgrade the bitrate, but I want to be able to get this troubleshooted. So, for anyone who may care that the stream is down, I hope to get it back up and running optimally soon.

I think I’ve worked the bugs out of my new stream, and it seems to be fine at 128 Kbps. The skipping that was happening for a couple of days seems to have been fixed by changing the output plugin I was using.
I did notice that there will be some skipping if I happen […]

The bad news is, anyone who had bookmarked the stream address will have to change their bookmark and will hopefully find the new stream URL, which is

The good news is, Toastie Radio is now streaming at 96 Kbps as opposed to 48 Kbps, so the sound quality should be significantly better. I wanted to stream […]

When I added the request feature, I eliminated a weighted playlist, mostly because if a song appeared multiple times in the playlist, it also appeared multiple times on the request screen. Unfortunately, I didn’t eliminate all duplicates, and that’s why Phil Collins’ “We Said Hello Goodbye” topped the most-played chart two weeks ago, not because […]

This is a momentous day in the history of Toastie Radio (and there haven’t been many)! After over four years of playing my cheese and schmaltz, I’ve finally figured out a way to take requests that can be automatically processed. You can only choose from what’s in my current playlist, but it still gives you […]
