[JPL] A library question...

[Claudia Russell]

Greetings Jazz Gurus,

How long do you keep currents "current" and how long do you keep releases in
the "re-current" section?  Also, when you add new music (or if you have
retro-fitted your music library, as we are about to do)...are you adding an
entire CD or do you select only a few cuts for air.

In the past, we have allowed our announcers to play any viable cut from a CD,
something I have enjoyed because it really opens up the musical possibilities
and prevents us from creating "hit" radio.  But, our library is out of
control now and we will begin a serious effort in the early part of next year
to tame the beast.

I'd love to hear from programmers and from artists/industry people as well on
this.

Many thanks in advance,
Claudia
