Music
"I heard a piece of music overnight, or in the early morning hours. How do I find out what it was?"
Classical music via satellite between 10:00p.m. and 5:00a.m. weekdays, and midnight to 5:00a.m. Saturday and Sunday nights, is hosted by Classical 24. Their playlists can be viewed here.
"I heard a piece of music yesterday, or the day before, or last week…"
You can view past playlists of WPLN classical music selections here.
"Where is today’s playlist?"
Sometimes our playlist is not available until just before airtime, and other times we are late getting it posted to the web site. If you feel that there is a problem with today’s playlist, feel free to email the webmaster
"I heard a piece of music that is not documented anywhere in your playlist. Can you tell me what it was?"
Sometimes we choose short pieces of music at the last minute, in order to meet NPR network programming on time. If the music you think you heard is not listed, email the webmaster. I’ll try to find out what you heard.
"I want to contact the announcer."
WPLN hosts are not able to take calls while working on the air, however, you may send an email. Staff email addresses, including those of the hosts, can be found here.
"I heard some short bit of music on NPR, during Morning Edition or All Things Considered. How can I find out what it was?"
The short music segues that NPR plays between reports are listed at the NPR web site, alongside the audio links to their news features. NPR calls them "Music Buttons."

"Can I purchase, or listen to, an older program of Bluegrass Breakdown or Studio C?"
The short answer is “no,” but see this page for reasons.
"Where can I buy music that’s hard to find?"
Try the following commercial sites. They are in no way affiliated with Nashville Public Radio:
- www.berkshirerecordoutlet.com – Out of print classical CD’s and LP’s
- www.Gemm.com – "16 million CDs, LPs, 45s and more from thousands of sellers around the world! Hard to find, rare, and out of print "
