I wanted to give Avian feedback he asked for. My main point is that the format needs to be monitored, nothing more.
1) A secret for you - I would rather listen to your show than the Planetarium, so don't take what I said as a personal criticism - I don't think the effect is as great over a computer, and I've listened to my share of "Headphones only" shows in my day. Music "designed" for headphones is such a misnomer.
2) I have 800 or so CD's, and I'm 40. We're all on a budget. At your rate, you will far outdistance me when you are my age. Your grad school budget = my disposable income.
3) I'm not sure if I understand what a "little something" means. If you mean donating CD's I see no relevance in that relating to having a show.
4) I listen to Aural Moon for the camraderie and the occasional new gem. More than not, there will be songs I don't want to hear. That's on me to deal with, I have no issue with that.
5) The size of your library is irrelevant if you were "spinning" tunes already on the Moon.
6) If AM is amateur, is it contradictory to say that you have experience?
I know it sounded like a personal attack, Spaz, but I am not afraid to voice my opinion. No need to defend anything. Especially when the shows are fait accompli anyway.
