UPDATE: THE AIRCHECK LIBRARY IS NOW COMPLETE, UP AND RESTORED
_______________
Great news!
The Motor City Radio Flashbacks’ Aircheck Library page has been completely restructured, re-uploaded and relisted exactly in the same order as each file was represented before, going from top to bottom.
The dotted title sequence (i.e., WXYZ.Joey.Reynolds.August.16.1966) found on many of the airchecks previously was eliminated during the re-upload process. Adding dots is no longer required on certain files to upload today, as it was added on some of the audio files in 2012. And many of the misspellings found in the title of some of the audio files have been corrected and re-titled.
The site’s repository today now holds over 1,000 airchecks archived and listed!
Completed and finished yesterday evening (February 22), it took 34 days to completely rebuild the Aircheck page in its entirety. It was here where I have been spending much of my time (since Jan 18) instead of on the website on a daily basis.
The good news, I will no longer worry whether this last surviving page (a hold-over from the old 2012 platform, the updated PHP upgrades finally killed it) will abruptly crash on this site anytime soon, if ever. This new rebuilt page on this current 2022 platform will prevent that from happening again.
And so I am happy to say the page is now back up again. Easier to navigate. Better than before . . . . it is all finally done! 🙂
