Wow! this is really cool. I know CC won't be doing this in Atlanta but here's hoping one of the companies does this Gold format.

Music mix is ok....but the sound quality isnt anything near HD. They should really bump up the streams to 96 kbps.<P ID="signature">______________

Pretty vanilla playlist. Most surprising: "Walk Right In" (what a great song!). Not really a surprise, per se--only because it hasn't been standard fare in about 5-7 years. Ten years ago, you couldn't get the song *out* of the playlist.

And by vanilla, I also mean artists--where's the soul/R&B? Ronettes, that's it. No Motown, no Stax, no Brunswick, no Gamble/Huff in eight songs. Almost 3/8 of a hour gone by, and one R&B-flavored tune. And that one was over-popped anyway.
