basically this is an audio file but it plays on the client's UNIX time. wat u get as a result is the audio playing at the same timestamp for everyone, therefore acting like a radio! check it out with FLASH FM!

the reason I did this was cuz I saw this SICK site where u can play the radio stations of the GTA 3D era, but one issue: it plays the music RANDOMLY from any point it feels like, even when u switch back and forth between stations!! dafuq?! this is my attempt at fixing it by making it truly act like a radio station that never stops when you leave.

this was also partially inspired by how Neil Cicierega made a timer on his site for his then-upcoming mashup album, Mouth Dreams, and he made a countdown timer for it. one first sight, I thought it was using a timer from the server-side, but boy was I STUPID AF, GODDAYUM! wats the point of calling the server for a timer? thatsj ust extra processing. instead, just make the timer client-side. so what if the client messes with it? it's only gonna screw their own session.

and so yh, i did the same thing here. if u set the time on ur radio to something else, it only really screws ur own session. u can immediately be set back on time with that radio button tho.
