Okay, so I'm seriously not savvy w/technology or all the "streaming" "looping" things, etc. Don't do iTunes, etc cuz I could never figure it out. I know. I'm in the stone age. ha I have now added Adam's playlist to my youtube account. And when I click to play it opens his youtube playlist of the 4 items and starts playing. If I click on those 2 arrows "repeat playlist" in the top right black box w/ songs listed to right of playing video...will that help anything as far as numbers go....or is there something else I need to do to get the youtube playlist to help him? I've clicked on it and it keeps repeating the 4 items in playlist, but I'm not sure if that is helping him or not. I googled "looping", but can't figure that out. Sorry, I'm so dumb about this sort of thing. You are doing it completely right! Just let it play. It counts! On chrome you can also mute the tab in case you might want to listen to something else. If you want to know how: fieldguide.gizmodo.com/mute-noisy-tabs-in-google-chrome-1683215637You can also mute your browser if you are on windows by right clicking the sound icon in the system tray on the bottom right of your screen (next to your clock). If you then click "Open volumemixer" you can individually mute each program you have running. Muting Spotify this way is also nice so you can run more streams at once. These options for muting make sure the streaming service doesn't know you mute the play. When you mute the sound in either YT or Spotify the play might not count. Okay, thank you so much. I thought I'd read at some point about NOT muting or it won't count so I haven't done that. I'll use your tips and open in another browser and use the volume techniques you describe. I'm so happy to be able to help in my teeny tiny little way. I love this WTTS song sooooooo much.

WTTS is in the section of Maak 't of Kraak 't today on Radio 538!!! twitter.com/noorlanderedwin/status/711251364219904001Really hope the listeners will like it! Ghost Town was made with 83% in May last year. Responses on that tweet with "Maak 't" will count as votes! Maybe likes of the tweet too, but I don't know that.

Got it! Will stream your playlist, thanks Isn't that the same no-no from before? I thought the word on constant streaming of the same song without a refresh or a play that caused it to 'leave' the channel was that the plays were significantly discounted. To like a handful a day. Hence, using the auto-refresh work around or creating a playlist that contains totally unrelated short videos. Thanks I bookmarked Adam's 4 different plays... YAY

Responses on that tweet with "Maak 't" will count as votes! Maybe likes of the tweet too, but I don't know that. It got made by 71,2% of the votes!!!! So they are going to play him more often now! Not as big as GT, but still nice. By the reactions it looked like all the woman liked the song and the men didn't like it (at least those reactions that got into the studio). One of the voters found the song to slow and one other called it 'Takkeherrie' which roughly translates in way to noisy. Luckily because of the Adam weekend a lot of fans are listening to the station and they of course voted yes! The song sounds so good on radio!

I thought this might be a good time to re-introduce a feature of Chrome that I use constantly, especially when I have multiple Periscope/Ustream/audio/YT tabs open. Someone here posted about it ages ago and it works great. Basically it allows each tab to have its very own mute button independent of the volume on the player you're using and I don't think that it affects view counts. Not sure, but don't think so. It is so easy to install, here are the instruction: www.cnet.com/how-to/add-a-mute-button-to-chrome-tabs/When it is set-up, a little speaker icon shows up on the right side of the tab but only when there is sound on the page. It won't be there if there is no sound. Just click on the speaker icon and it becomes a mute icon (speaker with a slash through it). I am using it right now muted to stream Adam's playlist, when I want to listen I just click umute. It's also great to use when those annoying autoplay videos come on when you are browsing. ETA: LOL - or what skaschep just said.Hmmm. Doesn't work for me.

No it doesn't sound negative. Though I can help but ask this, HOW do you know that Adam expects these artists to promote him back? Adam has been tweeting other artists music since the beginning of his career, I don't know him personally so I won't say that he doesn't expect anything in return. But after these years following him I think we all know that Adam is a generous soul. He is a big fan of music. What he does in my personal opinion its because of his love of good music. IMHO, this is why Adam does it, because he love music and he wants to share good music. It's good karma and I believe in karma. Don't expect anything, let karma take care of all his hard works and good deeds he planted. I probably expressed myself badly.... I was trying to say that while he DOESN'T DO IT because he expect them promote him back it still saddens me they don't tweet about him too.... I don't know Adam either but I would never suggest he does promote them because he expect them to tweet about him too... I think he just tweets about music he likes without any calculation. No I think you did express it alright . I tried to read thru the thread quickly while watching movie at the same time. Do not worry about the ones who didn't tweet them back. Not many people are as excited about good music as Adam.
