Do you prefer:
Static full square image of album art?
OR
Cropped rotating image of album art as is?

I appreciate the creativity but it is odd watching a cropped image of the cover rotating where the label should be. I prefer to appreciate the cover art as a full static image.

I like it the way it is. It’s not that big of deal. I guess it would be easier to see if it wasn’t spinning around. But I like the fact that it’s a record (vinyl) playing. I wasn’t expecting that. I think y’all should do whatever y’all wanna do. As long as y’all are on the air playing my kind of music is really the most important thing. So I vote to keep it the way it is.
Added by GerDon ZOO FREAK

Again I like it. It’s supposed to rotate. It’s a record. Keep it. Or not. Either way. The music is the most important.

Trapeze Medusa! First time I heard this was in the Zoo. Thanx to Jon Dillon. RIP.
Added by Wildcard ZOO FREAK

Yeah, JD meant so much to the ZOO. Remember Dillon's Dungeon?

We have lost several great talents in radio and some of their voices are still heard here to give them the honor they deserve.
Added by GerDon ZOO FREAK

Yup. It’s good to hear Jon’s voice. And I absolutely remember Dillon’s Dungeon. If I remember correctly I heard him play Kaptain Kopter and the Twirly Birds. I hauled ass to buy the album and it had only one good song on it.

I kind of like the spinning record
Added by GerDon ZOO FREAK

Me too! I think it’s cool. A tribute and reminder of the old Zoo.

Makes me a little dizzy!
Added by bobbyn ZOO FREAK

the spinning vinyl reminds me of when i was a youngen and had my own record player. the trick not to get dizzy is dont follow it; i still get dizzy.....the music matters more but i would say keep it.
Added by Robert Wood

I like it as it is. I also watch some of the Youtube videos where they play vinyl sides or cuts on turntables like the one you show. I'm just glad you are still playing my favorite music. Keep on rockin!!

I like it as is as well. It's part of the experience.

Love the spin!

Leave the record spinning but add subliminal hypnotic suggestions to make monthly financial donations.
Added by GerDon ZOO FREAK

Good idea! Wish I would’ve thought of that. Do it! Do whatever it takes to stay on the air. Right?

Static works for me. I get dizzy watching it spin ...old age I guess!
Added by bill miles ZOO FREAK

Not to get to picky but you asked lol, Could you make the whole of the vinyl spin not just the album art?
It'd be cool to see the table speed light work too.
And another thing. How about making the turntable the whole screen. Put a link to all the chat on the header.
Just an old Zoo Freaks suggestions.
Added by Wildcard ZOO FREAK

Good ideas! We will continue to improve the zoo experience as we get more budget. Keep spreading the word. The more zoo listeners we get the better chances we have of making it happen. Keep the ideas coming and have a great weekend!
Added by Mark Murphy

I like the spinning image. Also like the suggestion to make the turntable fill the screen with links to the side or top.
Added by Johnny Lee

i think its way to cool
Added by bobbyn ZOO FREAK

cant break the tradition; this is a turntable, might be a little old school but if you are stoned and dont see it turning then you might on some really great acid, shrooms, even, hell, some mescaline. .... LOL>>> jk ya'lls, although sativa is excellent!! ROCK ON>>>>bobbyn
Added by Johnny Lee

agreed
Added by GerDon ZOO FREAK

We have both now. Thanx Wildcard.

I like the spinning, would be even cooler if the turntable spun!

n0 ooooooooooo

The illusion of the rotating label is cool, and most of us know those album labels. It might be a really unpopular opinion, and might demand some labor, but maybe keep the label rotating, and provide a static image elsewhere with significant facts, like the date of publication, etc. Just brainstorming. Honestly, I love the LP playing, but it's not vital that it be that large. What's important is that you are delivering great Rock 'n Roll! I live here at night.
Added by Mr. Robin

I enjoy the spinning record albums. Old school so WTH, Would be cool if the arm was movable so the album would stop spinning for those who don't like the spinning or in play mode for those who enjoy the spin. Regardless it's the music that matters so rock on
Added by Dobbs ZOO FREAK

It really doesn't matter to me man. I'm so stoked the Zoo is back!! Rock On!!!!
Added by Wildcard ZOO FREAK

Mr. Robin, You can click on the spinning Album and cover the spin. You can also listen at https://welove.radio/ without any spin (boring!) and also download their app for your mobile device. App has the same hifi audio quality as the browser player but the app sends the song information to your bluetooth car stereo. The app also buffers better when on the road between cell towers so less drop outs (no pun intended!)
Added by Barfoul

All you have to do is click on the rotating label, and it brings up a static cover.
Added by Zoobie Doo ZOO FREAK

Yes, but that was not the case at launch. I requested it because I could see that the static image was already in the page data.
Added by Classic Chuck

Great site here a zoo freak here indeed remember the good old days listener since 1978 moved to Texas from Arizona found though there were many other rock stations i landed on this one and stayed great job keep on rocking my friend CLASSIC CHUCK !!
Added by davomusicman@gmail.com

hey where in Texas did yuo move to and heard the ZOO?
Added by GerDon ZOO FREAK

After graduating from high school in Levelland I moved to Mesquite to live with my sister and brother in law. That was May 1972. Soon in 1973 I discovered the Zoo. I learned about a lot of music listening to that station. I would hear stuff and would go to the nearest record store and search for whatever I heard. Especially Jon Dillon. He was my favorite. Wish he was still around to enjoy the new Zoo. Usually Discount Records at Town East Mall. I would start at the A’s and go all the way to the Z’s.
