FINAL POST FOR THIS BLOG

We've been posting our playlists here since September 2005. A lot of water has passed under the Internet bridge since then, and it's time to consolidate our feeds under one roof at our own web site. We'll be installing software to do that shortly and you'll find all our feeds nicely grouped at HOS.com.

In the meantime please use our HOS News feed, currently hosted by Typepad:

There is a category of posts for New Programs which provides access to each week's playlist via links to the correct playlist pages on HOS.com, as well as a podcast feed of our weekly 30 second promos:

The advantage of viewing the playlists on-site is that you also see full color graphics of the album covers, plus all the embedded links to retail sources, artist and record label sites, and additional user services like a handy PRINT command, which reformats the playlist for printing direct from any browser.

Ultimately our direct feeds will contain these elements, and all of this will appear in any standard feed reader as well.


The HOS News feed also contains up to date information about our primary web services and our streaming archive. If you haven't visited our site in a while, please stop by. In February 2009 we introduced a very cool custom Flash player with improved graphics, a heads-up metadata display, support for unlimited personal playlists, and much improved sound quality.

If you have any comments, please write to us at help@hos.com.
