The project started with the desire to push the envelope of music interactivity by providing an automated request system. A custom broadcast engine was developed to interface directly with an SQL backend allowing unsurpassed web interactivity. The result, as you can see, is very cool. The Menu Extra The Massinova Menu Extra is an extension of The Massinova Project allowing listeners running Mac OS X to interface directly with the broadcast database. It sits in the Mac OS X Menu Bar providing useful information such as the current song playing and recently requested songs. Additionally, it allows a listener to place requests for songs in the request list, and directly connect to the broadcast.
