In Toledo, 101.5 The River plays continuous Christmas music all day long from November to the day after Christmas.

After listening for a while, I swore the same songs played in a very short amount of time. So it got me wondering exactly what songs were played and how much. So I decided to collect some data.

Metadata

I needed a way to get a log of everything the station played. I tried messing around with the JSON on their site but it didn't seem to have the data I needed. I think most of it drives the Flash player which pulls the rest.

I found the station has a stream and there is a little utility called streamripper that will dutifully download and cut up everything that plays, including metadata. I didn't care much about the audio (although it did prove useful for checking the resulting data and a source of annoyance for my wife as I replayed the most-played songs over and over again.)

Untie it and bring it. ³ If anyone says to you, 'Why are you doing this?' say, 'The Lord has need of it and will send it back here immediately.'" ⁴ And they went away and found a colt tied at a door outside in the street, and they untied it. ⁵ And some of those standing there said to them, "What are you doing, untying the colt?" ⁶ And they told them what Jesus had said, and they let them go. ⁷ And they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their cloaks on it, and he sat on it. ⁸ And many spread their cloaks on the road, and others spread leafy branches that they had cut from the fields. ⁹ And those who w
