How much free time are you willing to devote (20 hours a week? 90?)? How many channels repeat things being done elsewhere?

For my 80-channel sequences, first pass on a two-minute song is usually about three or four hours. When I get brain freeze I walk away. I’ll come back a couple of days later and fiddle with it for another hour or so and it’s probably very close to being finished, though, they’re one of those things that you can tinker with and tinker with.

Three-minute, 20-second song, 4640 channels? Wild guess: 12 hours? 16 hours? Maybe even 24 hours?

I'm thinking you'll be happy with four songs rather than 15.

Talk to Sielbear about his video sequencing method. You can abstract away channels and just think of your house as a stage. Of course you'll need an LSP license and some tools ( I can help there) but with that setup I think you could double your song count. :)

Lots of songs would be nice, but I find that a total 15 minute show that repeats works well.  Beyond that people are ready to move on and if you are getting lots of traffic you will want them to move on.  You could however have 2 or 3 different 15 minute shows and play them on different days of the week.  So my advice is to get a good 15 minute show first and then see where things stand.  I have lots of songs I would love to sequence, but never seem to have enough time and finally no motivation to add them since everyone likes what is already done.  Adding more is usually for your own personal satisfaction and not for that of your audience.  IMHO.

That's because they are using you as a commercial free radio station.  They are not watching the lights all the time.  My neighbors tell me the same thing.  They would be happy if you just let media player play a big Christmas playlist all day.  LOL.  Maybe I should try that.

nope, the transmitter I purchased from another member can't broadcast on the few available frequencies in my area. It's only speakers.
