The “charm” that comes with being a radio station versus an on-demand service is something we’ve enjoyed having over the years, so I’m glad you like it as well.
I rated the wrong song, how do I fix it?
Rogue ratings are unlikely since there’s a lot of verification that happens when a rating is submit. You have to be logged in and listening from the same IP address, rating a particular song has to be done within a specific time frame, etcetc. There’s plenty of verification to help make sure that when you submit a song rating, it’s going to the correct song. In any case, I wouldn’t worry about it too much.
Where are song previews?
Song previews are not currently available. We asked the community what they thought about the idea in a previous forum thread, but as of this moment, it has received zero replies. Like I mentioned earlier, we depend on community feedback to help guide our priorities and get a better sense of what people want to see coming from us.
How do shows work?
If you’re unfamiliar with how our shows work, we have at least one live broadcast every month, with “Gensokyo Radio Live” being our most consistent show. Our show dates and times are announced via Discord, Twitter, Facebook, Steam, etc. During shows, listeners join us on Discord and we chat during the show about various things. The shows themselves cover a variety of topics, current events, etc. as well as playing some of the newest and highest-rated music (from listener ratings on GR) from the past month.
After the live broadcast is over, the show is made available to our patron supporters first, and then a week later they are made available on platforms such as Mixcloud, Satchel (app), and our aforementioned Shows page (click on the show title to open the player page for that show). These are all places where you can select a show from the past and start listening to it.
