playlists of all major arbitron radio stations

I was informed that there is a website that offers the playlist of all significant, commercial, arbitron radio stations. Does anyone know of the site? thanks! josh ;)

What, pray tell, is an "Arbitron radio station?"

Any station in a market with Arbitron ratings... nearly 300 in total... is rated by Arbitron (commercial or not). Whether the station shows any audience is a question of how good the signal is and how good the programming is. No station in any of those markets is not "rated" in the sense that if listeners are detected, there are no exclusions.

Many "significant" stations don't play music, so of course no source of music play information will include them.

The best sources for data on song spins are MediaBase and BDS (a Nielsen company), but they are not free. Free sources of this kind of information do not have the degree of data verification that the paid sources do, although they certainly are close approximations (I have compared a "significant" LA station's log with one of these free sources and it is about 80% correct).

some stations are listing their playlists on their website..the classic country station below lists 663 pages (20 per page ) of playlist...click on "On Demand"/"Now Playin". If you look hard enough there is nothing you can't find on the net. And it's all free ;D

gimme a couple of minutes.........oh here it is only took me 15 seconds.

Of course yours is a trick question, because it's an unavailable item from the link I showed (which I believe is your website), i on the other hand was speaking in general terms that if you search long and hard you can find hard examples of playlists in all genre's. To satisfy any needs of examples, but it really only took me 15 seconds to find your website, google is amazing.

But you did not find the publication I asked about, so they claim that "you can find anything" is not true.

as true as this trick question........"How Do you get down off an elephant"??????..."you don't, you get down off a duck".....

I stand by my statement, If my incentive was greater than proving you wrong, I would hunt It down, but we both have better things to do......this was not intended to be a debate, but a response to availability of play lists...a general statement was made , not intended to be taken to the nth degree. You do have a bounty of $300 dollars for that publication, if that was raised to the nth degree , maybe that would be incentive enough to hunt It down.....Give me a number worth my valuable time, and the race is on......or we just bury Barbaro and go on to the next subject.

Of course, your statement did not restrict itself to playlists.

..a general statement was made , not intended to be taken to the nth degree.

It's an interesting trait of some who fail to make their point to rewrite the nature of the original premise.

You do have a bounty of $300 dollars for that publication,

That's not a "bounty" but simply an offer to purchase an original issue.

if that was raised to the nth degree , maybe that would be incentive enough to hunt It down.

I can hunt one down in a few seconds with a library search of University archives. But no copy is available online, just for review in the libraries where there are copies. I want an acutal copy... which is actually irrelevant to the fact that you can't find "anything" on the web... you can just find a lot of recent things, but not a lot of older ones.

In any event, you can't find a copy online for any amount of incentive.

....Give me a number worth my valuable time, and the race is on......or we just bury Barbaro and go on to the next subject.

You don't even understand the question, so it's unlikely you would be paid for your answer.
