The archive of past Top Album lists is also available at http://folkradio.org (the official FOLKDJ-L web site). The process of compiling the Top Albums list is automated (I do hand correct some obvious errors and typos). The results are based on playlists posted to FOLKDJ-L during the calendar month. I wrote a pair of programs that work with the Eudora email program's filtering feature running under Microsoft Windows NT. One program parses each playlist as it comes in and adds it to a spreadsheet. The second program processes the spreadsheet into a readable report. Playlists have to include artist, song and album name (label is optional) and be in a reasonably regular format for my program to be able to parse them. My programs wind up identifying about 60% of the songs actually posted. The Top Albums list is sorted in descending order by number of plays recorded for each album. Within an album, the number of times each track was played is shown. If a single DJ is the only one mostly playing an album, the count of plays is adjusted downwards; otherwise the raw counts are used. The top 50 albums are listed. ====================================================================== Richard Gillmann http://www.nwlink.com/~rxg Monday "Lunch With Folks" Noon-3pm richard@folkradio.org KBCS (91.3 FM) - Bellevue, WA http://kbcs-fm.org ====================================================================== ____________________________________________________________________ FOLKDJ-L archives are at http://lists.psu.edu/archives/folkdj-l.html
