I listen to American Internet radio with a relaxed lounge and understand that very good music doesn’t get in touch with my needs a bit. All the time she pulls the mood somewhere in the wrong direction. At the same time, radio oriented to the Russian consumer (well, or at least people who are on the same longitude as Moscow) falls precisely in time with the working day. And an apple fell on me - in the evening I try to listen to the music that they put in the morning%) And since now the active phase of globalization is taking place, I thought what IT method can help her.
And he found a way out: the e-radio station for each region puts the same playlist with a lag in the number of hours that separates the broadcasting city from the client city. When choosing a city, you listen to the music of another time zone. And if, for example, on the way to work, you listen to Japan, then in the office you can hear the same music, unless of course you want to switch to the Moscow wave, in the middle of the working day - music specially selected for the middle of the working day.
Technically, such a thing is implemented by 24 server groups located closest to consumers from different time zones. Is the cost of such a solution interesting when taking into account the maximum use of free software and international contacts?
