Obviously Tim gets it.  I'd like to add that since I play many unknowns in 
a
backwater genre, my playlists should be considered as encouragement to make
music and taken as evidence that there IS a place where you have a change 
of
getting airplay.  Looping is only a technique.  But when used to make 
ambient or
space music (my show's raison d'etre), Loopers know that I'll seriously 
consider
their music.

And it has caused my show to be advertised much more than my weekly 
playlists
even attempt!  Announcement--  It seems that WDIY, though moving as slow 
as a
glacier, plans to netcast some day.  Don't hold your breath but if the PD 
says
so, I believe it!

Cheers,
