Technology is great when it works. When it doesn't, we lose out on 80s music. My computer crashed today and therefore Manic Mondays will be on hold until next week. In the meantime, music is still streaming on Vinyl Voyage radio, with an eclectic selection of music spanning from the last 40 years or so---all played on glorious vinyl.
You may be wondering how music can be playing if the computer crashed. Here is how the radio station works. The internet stream is provided by Live365. I can use their stream by hooking it to my computer at home. The files are stored on my computer and the station is run through an automated software system called SAM Broadcaster. I can set rotation rules and playlists and everything is done automatically. When I am at home and want to play "DJ," I can also do everything manually.
In addition, I have hundreds of files stored on the server at Live365. If something happens to the live stream (like today), the other playlist goes into effect. And that is what happened. My computer must have crashed or something and was no longer delivering a stream---so Live365 took over.
This is a good backup system. The music keeps going, regardless of what happens in my basement.
Don't worry, there is still plenty of 80s music in the lineup.
If you were doing blogging at WordPress CMS then you must have backup file at your hosting. I can understand you must have some very important files. I can suggest you to make your data at cloud do you do not have any worries of data loss.
