The WFMU online playlister is a paragon in this area, and they recently

Those of us who have contemplated the construction of an online
playlister (OK, well, me, at least) have tended to get bogged down in
making lists of kewl features to include, and have never gotten around
to actually making anything, which is why I'm so glad WXDU managed to
find a playlister that actually performs the core functions we require,
even if it doesn't have super-mackin' public search functions [yet],
because at least it actually exists, as opposed to all the vaporware we
might've [not] come up with otherwise.

You *can* at least come close to the "who was on at X time"
functionality with our online playlister; it's not actually timestamped
because many of us only have 2 hands and thus often fall behind in our
playlister-updating, thus rendering any timestamps kinda inaccurate
anyway, so we don't bother. But if you make certain assumptions about
the lengths of songs, you can get pretty close, at least.
