Requests that are 20 minutes or less are better for me since I tend to be interrupted at work a lot. Not that if I can get request in early so that most people aren't in yet I won't request (or listen and enjoy) a longer track. :)

I agree with pixiesparklies, if my long stuff is not available (ToT) then I will usually request a bunch of short stuff. Whatever I'm in the mood for! :D

For me lately, I have been requesting just a bunch of short tracks to soak in as much music as I possibily can for 30 minutes before I go to bed.
I know this is probably your first flight...and it's mine too...ha, ha

I like to listen while I play computer games, and I find that the longer loops make for excellent soundtracks, since they're very broad in scope.

It all depends. Some days i choose a bunch of shorter tracts, but sometimes i want to remember a full attraction which tend to be a bit longer.

I have to agree with this as well.. I do get interrupted a bit at work as well, so it is nice to have a longer track that I can be gone for 5-10 min and still have some more of it to listen to.

But I find more often than not, I either cant choose the ones I want, or more often than that, I don't have enough points for what I want. so I end up going with shorter tracks.

It depends on what I want to hear, or what my kids want to hear. Most of the time the tracks I request are longer in duration.

I guess for me it really depends on what the track is ... but ... sometimes it works out in your favor. For example, when Spectromagic isn't available as one large file, you can request the individual tracks that make up the whole parade!

I do that with its a small world and Spectromagic quite a bit, request the individual tracks. :)

I like to mix it up. It depends on what I'm in the mood for and how busy the request line is. If I'm in the mood for a long loop and there aren't many requests trickling in, I'll go ahead and request one (if it's available). But sometimes, I just want to "take a tour" of the parks and play a little of this and a little of that.

Usually I tend to choose one large, but it does change with my moods as well, but when I do a group of small ones, they tend to generally be the same.. I like doing as MANY monorail spiels as I can, have to admit, hahah

The last few times I've requested, it's all several short ones. I haven't requested a long loop in a long time but never say never!

I was in the mood for a long loop tonight, but to my dismay most of them were unavailable. It's ok...the college kids need something to help them through their studies. :) I managed to find the Paradise Pier loop, so it's ok.
