FAQ: rec.music.dementia: LIST

The files listed here are also available on the World-Wide Web at
http://mypage.iu.edu/~jbmorris/
This document lists the non-lyrics files available on the rec.music.dementia
FAQ server.
For the list of Frequently Asked Questions, see the previous post entitled
"FAQ: rec.music.dementia: FAQ" or check the Web site or auto-server (see
below).
For the lyrics files, see the post "FAQ: rec.music.dementia: LYRICS: LIST"
or check the Web site or auto-server (see below).

This file will list all of the subjects you can mail with that will send
you an automatic reply.
The auto-server address is [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Use that to get these files.
Just mail with one of the following subject lines.
No text is necessary in the body of the letter, and in fact I will not
see it if you put it there anyway.

It is possible to request more than one file at a time using an asterisk
(*) as a wildcard.  For example, if you want all the playlists for 1994,
your subject line would be DRD94.* or if you wanted everything in the list,
your subject line would be a single asterisk.  Note that this concatenates
all the specified files into one mail message, so it can be quite big if you
request a lot.  In the future, I plan to add a way to be able to request
multiple files to be sent as separate mail messages.
It is NOT currently possible to request more than one file if you cannot
specify the multiple files using the standard wildcard (*).  That is,
you canNOT have a subject line of STATIONS AL.ALBUMS and get an automatic
reply.

To send contributions or corrections to these lists, mail
 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Be sure to not use one of the FAQ keywords as a subject line.
THANKS!

By the way, the server is not case sensitive, so you can type these in caps,
 lowercase, or any combination thereof.
Subjects marked with an asterisk (*) are new (or have a significant
 amount of updated information) since the last posting.
Do NOT include the * in your subject line when requesting them, however.

Playlists are available through the FAQ server.
The format for the subject line to request one of the playlists is
DRDYY.MMDD, where YY=the year, MM=the month (01=January, 02=February, etc.),
and DD=the Sunday the show was aired.  If your area airs the show on a
different day, requesting the Sunday following that day will probably get you
the correct playlist.
Here are the playlists currently available.  This includes all syndicated
shows (July, 1974 - present).  New additions of older playlists since
last posting are in CAPITAL letters.

than for the rest of the country.  These live playlists are now becoming
