Hello SmallWorlds citizens. As you may know, both Seeqpod and Last.fm have recently gone offline. We apologize for this inconvenience, but it is not within our control. The SmallWorlds team are working hard to find a new musical option for you and we expect to have a solution in the next two or three days. All stereos will be automatically replaced with a new version.

Thank you for your patience!

All stereos have been replaced automatically with the new service from www.imeem.com

You will need to re-enter your playlist as the old playlists will still exist but wont work.

Don't start.  They are having issues with Imeem and for about a week have been looking for another new provider.

Lots of the Imeem somgs are 30 second previews. SW hasa looping feature set to help with the constant song rotation---the down side you hear the first 30seconds fo the song---over and over.  Here is a quote from the know issues sticky thread at smallworlds.com  http://forum.smallworlds.com/showthread.php?t=620 (http://forum.smallworlds.com/showthread.php?t=620)

[10 May 2009 updated 28 May 2009] Imeem only playing the first 30 seconds of a song.

Problem: There is a current issue where some songs on the Imeem players are only playing for 30 seconds.

Workaround: This is now affecting all songs. We have set the songs to loop so it doesn't chop and change between songs so frequently.

Fix: Our technical team are working hard to resolve this issue or find an alternative solution, however this is not a SmallWorlds issue. This is an issue with a change Imeem have made to their system to require users to be logged in on their website to stream full length songs. Imeem has yet to provide a solution for social sites to allow users to login to the Imeem site.

Thanks Happy.  I thought I remembered you saying something the other night about SW music still having problems, but forgot to ask about it.  Glad I didn't start then!

Please keep us updated.
