[peel] Playlists

[Phil Edwards]

Minimum of effort. Hmm!

The Site to which Alasdair referred is very well known to me and was the
starting point to a mammoth project I started about 8 years of creating a
master listings database.
I did abandon this project years ago and resumed this task this summer.
Lorcans site was based on downloads of JP Listings from Teletext and which I
did a few when he couldn't manage.
His site alone consists of 16,500 tracks. Which I've painstakingly imported
into my database line by line (each track being a permutation of 2,3 or 4
fields)
To this I've added the BBC website track listings (10,000 tracks) which I've
extracted programmatically after running HTMSTRIP which 1st converted these
files to text files (which I believe our very own Martin Wheatley supplied
me with).
Plus various other sources. The database currently stands at 45,000 tracks
from Dec 1976 - Dec 2004. I shall be publishing the final results in the
very near future to this group.
I also have a further 200 shows in hand written form to add.
Phil

  The 'Playlists' would be a useful addition to the Wiki with a minimum of
effort!
