Q Radio Player

Q Radio officially relaunched today at 6pm with Samanthi's QPM show.

I've been spending the past few weeks working on the new Q Radio Player.

Really it should have a "beta" somewhere in the title as it's still being refined based on user feedback, like any other good site.

We have expanded on the old Q Radio Player on Whatson.com.

Improvements include...

• Now playing information
• Track artwork and links to buy on Amazon or iTunes
• Listing previous tracks heard
• Current show snformation
• Previous and next show information
• Listen again for previous shows, along with now playing information
• Voting on tracks so users can feed back if they like the station output or not
• Flash streaming, so more users can listen in
• And more...

Comments (hopefully not bug reports, though they are welcome)? Just contact me.

It even has a shop so I was able to finally get hold of a bottle of Star Of Eastbourne ale. It's always sold out each Eastbourne Beer Festival so i've never had a chance to try it before.
