Audiofile needs to be better, not gone.
Like all radio broadcasts, it needs to be able to filter in occasional gems from more familiar bands. The reason Audiofile was great was because it exposed us to new music, but the way to make it draw people in would be for it to splash in a little familiar color.
I'm sure there's audio of this sort available legally online somewhere.
And, by the way, I'm happy to seek it out for a small stipend :)
