Today is the “official” fourth anniversary of KMAG. The goal this year was 6000 songs and again, I fell short by 245. I’m not too distraught, I managed to get the remaining 116 songs I didn’t achieve last year and even if it’s not 6000, it’s still six times more than any real radio station (including XM’s Fred & Lucy according to my observations of them at Kenny’s). The goal for this time next year will remain another 1000, thus 7000 will be its entire catalog. I’m optimistic on meeting this thanks to the FM transmitter I bought for my iPod recently. I can squeeze in another 3-4 albums a week just on my commute back and forth to work; this week I cleared out “older” albums from Sparks, Prince and Rhett Miller.
As of this writing, it has also played 533,628 songs (it’s off too until the OS updates go through and it restarts). I will probably only make a plug when it hits 600,000 songs if I’m having a slow week but I know I will when it hits 750,000 and 1,000,000.
And remember, I will always plug checking it out. You may put in your opinion to me; I may ignore it if it lacks merit such as “this is mommy music, play more boy music.” In iTunes, just do Command-U and paste in this:

For those who insist on not using iTunes, the same path does work with other MP3 players such as WinAmp.
