Yes.com recently started monitoring my college station 90.3 WVPH. I have a dance show Saturday nights and I noticed that http://www.yes.com/#WVPH only picked up a handful of songs, namely the most popular ones, but it missed the pop remixes. Yes.com also has a hard time picking up all the songs on 94.5 The Vibe and C89.5. I remember it picked up almost every song on Pulse 87, even the less popular dance songs. It doesn't even monitor Z88.9 or Super 91.7 yet.

Z88.9 was monitored but Media Guide moved their tower site and they can not pick us up. We are working to get Yes dot com a feed.
Some but I was working with Media Guide to getting songs into their system. The issue is that Yes dot com used Media Guide's system. When you talk to labels they are more concerned with Mediabase and BDS. Im not sure how their system works because they all are different. But I think its the fact that they do not get serviced music so they dont know what to look for. They get the big hits but thats it.

For those that don't know, BDS takes a "fingerprint" of the music that is broadcast and compares it to the songs in it's database. Those songs get into the database by labels submitting the music to BDS. That is why a lot of non-major label or major indie releases don't detect.
For Mediabase, an actual person listens to a couple of seconds of a stations broadcast at set intervals and has to manually identify the song. They have "specialists" for each genre and they tend to pick up more of the dance tracks then BDS does because of the knowledgable people. But they also have a database set up that labels need to submit their music to for proper identification.
Lesson here: Labels send your music to these services if you believe you will get airplay!!!

So in short, there's no way for a station to directly submit playlists to yes.com. I wonder how WNYZ as Pulse 87 got almost every song monitored on yes.com, did they just poll the pulse87.com website for the song information?
I noticed that yes.com picked up some songs played on 94.5 The Vibe, and I played those exact same songs on 90.3 The Core and it wasn't picked up. I'm surprised yes.com picked up a relatively obscure dance track (Royksopp-The Girl and the Robot and David Guetta - The World Is Mine) but missed more popular songs, like Annagrace - Love Keeps Calling, which is #2 on the combined dance airplay chart! It did pick up Annagrace - Let The Feelings Go.
Yes.com has much better performance for 90.3 The Core's indie rock shows, even for music that we received the same week. It picked up 11 songs in the 9-10PM hour today, compared to 3 songs in 2 hours during my dance show Saturday night, and 5 songs in one hour when I was testing yes.com's ability by playing some more popular dance and CHR crossovers.

perhaps in that area, yes.com gets their info from mediabase which would involve a knowledgable person tracking the songs.

Or based off what dancerev stated, Media Guide may have been up to speed with detecting WNYZ as a result of him getting them songs that Z889 rotates.
I use to monitor yes.com all the time when KNRJ was dance. They were terrible at being accurate. Many times it would detect random titles, or sometimes even show a title of a song that was only looped on a new recording (like showing the Clash instead of P 2000).

Yes.com does that a lot. I notice when I listen to the "Afterhours" house mixshows, I go to yes.com to see what the station played during that time, and its something that sounds WAY different.
