As this idea emerged here, I volunteer to help, always if we keep it to a once or max twice a year event. The biggest effort will be to find out the live albums on the Moon. Very helpful would be a list in Excel format of all the albums on the Moon, so that the search could be done just going to the list and identifying them and compiling a list of Live Albums together (Or maybe SAM has in his database already this identifying tag).

Putting together then a list of albums to play during 24 hours, album after album should then not be that big issue twince a year (AS there will be no DJing). I have no idea though how much work it is to program SAM.

If it is decided to do a monthly event, I am of course still compiling the list, if necessary, but the rest (selecting etc) has to be done by another volunteer.

SAM doesn't know if the album is live or not, but all that would be needed (I think) is a .pls file for each live album, and all those compiled to a single folder, and SAM programmed to pick from that folder on the chosen day. Simple and easy. Well, at least the first two steps are easy. The programming SAM might not be easy, but it might be as easy as doing a clock wheel. If it IS as easy as doing a clock wheel, then with the tiniest amount of coaching, I have no problem setting it up. I could set up a whole year in an hour.

All that is contingent up Jim's approval of an album day, or a live album day, or whatever.
