Contributing to Radio Fleet



Gents, it's about time i opened up Radio Fleet to more than just myself and GSHD Hymers.

So, here's what you need to do.

1) Go to Last.fm
2) Login with the username and password that i've sent to your home email addresses this evening.
3) Search for a Band, Artist or Track Name in the box at the top of the page.
4) Click on the name of the band in the search results screen to bring up that band's/artist's page.
5) Scroll down to the TOP TRACKS bit, which is the 4th or 5th section on the screen, under the profile bit and the Videos.
6) You'll see a list of tracks. If the track name that you are after isn't listed, click on the See more option.
7) If it is listed, please ensure that there is a small remark in blue beside the track name that says "full track", if not, it's no use.
8) Hover over the track name. You'll see a small dropdown appear beside the blue bar that shows how popular the track is. That's the key bit.
9) Click on the dropdown and then choose "Add to Library". See below.



Finally, if you download the Last.fm scrobbler, any tracks that you play in itunes or in windows media player, or winamp, will automatically be added to the playlist after you've listened to 50% of the track ;) Get it here.

No Spice Girls please :p

PS, if you get kicked out, it's prolly cause one of the other Fleeters is trying to add at the same time as you. No biggy, just log in again.

This is a non-points scoring blog post.
