It’s the first of the month, always a time for great adventure.
Although I’m no longer publishing player information, I use the data for my own testing purposes. I was shocked about half an hour ago to get a 404 error on the http://socialstreamingplayer.crystalmedianetworks.com/radio/[stationid]” player.
I’m not yet clear on what happened – this was one of the biggest independent streaming companies – I’ve heard them tell me about the pizza and cocacola special at walmart hundreds of times.
The stations seemed to have moved to securenetsystems – but radio station’s own web sites don’t necessarily reflect that change yet. about 450 stations are involved. Perhaps the two companies merged or something. I don’t see any obvious news accounts.
Abacast has v6 of their player out with entirely new station numbers. Good thing I don’t care any more
