Radio Link - Music Library

The Radio Link Music Library caters for most tastes in music, with access to thousands of music tracks, some dating back to the 1930s! So, we do have a range of music suitable for the majority of our listeners.

However, even with so much music available, it is still difficult to guarantee responding exactly to every music request. We have normally asked for a second choice, to reduce the possibility of disappointment. To cater for changing tastes in music, patient's requests have been monitored, to try to ensure that the library is updated, to meet the listeners needs. We have gained a good understanding of the new music which is likely to be requested, so we are usually able to anticipate the patient's choice.

The music is catalogued in a custom-designed database, allowing our volunteers to search for music requests by Artist or Title. There are also sub-categories for the Albums to divide the sections into Male Vocal, Female Vocal, Groups, Orchestral etc. Each track is filed according to its media format; e.g. Stored on our Computer Network, CD Single, or CD Album.
