  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!
