I listen to American Internet radio with a calm lange and I understand that very good music doesn’t get a bit in tune with my needs. All the time she pulls the mood somewhere wrong. At the same time, a radio focused on the Russian consumer (or, at least, people who are in the same longitude with Moscow) falls precisely in time with the working day. And an apple fell on me - in the evening I try to listen to the music that they put in the morning%) Now the active phase of globalization is taking place, I thought, with what IT method can I help her.
And he found a way out: the e-radio station for each region is set by the same playlist with a lag at the number of hours that separates the city-broadcaster from the city-client. By choosing a city you are listening to music from another time zone. And if for example you are listening to Japan on your way to work, you can hear the same music in the office, if you want to switch to the Moscow wave, of course, in the middle of the working day, music chosen especially for the middle of the working day.
Technically, this thing is implemented by 24 server groups that are closest to consumers from different time zones. Is the cost of such a solution interesting when taking into account the maximum use of free software and international contacts?
