it is currently mandatory.  very few DJs are not using it, and those
who do not are most likely specialty show DJs.  regular shift DJs not
using the playlister are fucking up.

there is a link on the WXDU homepage that will bring you 10 days worth
of playlists.  at the top of that page -- and every page with
playlister data -- there is a link to the archive, which is arranged
by DJ.  early adopter DJs like rossi or me have archives going back as
far as march 2005.  the general population started using the
playlister in july 2005.
