It's Back To The Future Day smile

Here's an hour of old and new (but mainly new) ZX Spectrum Beeper music to mark the occasion.

Playlist being repeated again now smile

Re: bitFM - An Hour of 1bit ZX Beeper Music - Tonight 8pm BST

Oh snap, I missed it.
Anyway, that site isn't working for me, all I get is a blank page. FF38/Debian.

Re: bitFM - An Hour of 1bit ZX Beeper Music - Tonight 8pm BST

utz, that's interesting, the correct address is

http://wonkyfm.info

(it is redirection to URL Turty posted). It should work with any modern browser, supporting HTML5.

Anyway, I will redirect the stream here, probably today (or at weekend):

http://bitfm.randomflux.info/

Re: bitFM - An Hour of 1bit ZX Beeper Music - Tonight 8pm BST

both URL are displaying a blank page for me too (linux and firefox 40 too). From my android phone I could get the content.
http://bitfm.randomflux.info/ is working for me (the front page, as the music is not yet working)

Re: bitFM - An Hour of 1bit ZX Beeper Music - Tonight 8pm BST

It seems Firefox only, I've tested others, main ones: chrome/ium, IE (unfortunately), Opera, all works. Still odd, especially BitFM site is rather basic HTML/CSS, only HTML5 element seems to be audio-tag, which contain the player.

Re: bitFM - An Hour of 1bit ZX Beeper Music - Tonight 8pm BST

Strange that. I was suspecting there would be some user-agent detection going on, which is usually the case when this "blank page" stuff happens. But seems this isn't the case here. Well, in any case, like garvalf I can access the bitfm.randomflux.info page just fine.

In any case I'd be interested in doing some shows in the future as well, but looking at my schedule it'll probably have to wait till next year.

it seems it's a problem with wix pages. This one is blank too on firefox / linux : http://stephennichol81.wix.com/loadingscreech
Their javascript seems pretty evil.

Re: bitFM - An Hour of 1bit ZX Beeper Music - Tonight 8pm BST

Yeah, the wonkyfm site does seem a little strange in that sometimes I also get a blank screen at first  (using IE on WIN8 or Safari on IOS), refreshing the page 2 or 3 times seems to work !

Re: bitFM - An Hour of 1bit ZX Beeper Music - Tonight 8pm BST

I am making non-Wix site, does this work with you ?

http://randomflux.info/wonkyfm

wonkyfm.info domain is owned by me, it is just redirection to the Wix-site, I am going to use link above for new one.

Works for me, yay! Except the sub-sites, but I suppose they simply aren't there yet?

Re: bitFM - An Hour of 1bit ZX Beeper Music - Tonight 8pm BST

Excellent ! You're right, sub-sites are not there yet, site needs some editing, anyway glad it works !
