How far out can requests go?

I know Now Playing shows the next few upcoming songs, but how far out could requests technically be sitting in the cue?

If requests are made and then it is time for something on the schedule, does the schedule interrupt the requests and/or do the requests that were waiting then paly after the schedule?

If you request something and a program comes up on the schedule, your requests will be put on hold until after the program is done.

It depends on the type of schedule. When the 50th was playing, it would put all it's tracks in before the requests. The current schedules play when there's no requests in. Requests preceed the schedule. This is to be fixed later. I plan to set it where, during a schedule, a user cannot make requests and/or a user can only request tracks from that schedule.

I really like the idea of coding it so you can only make requests from say Epcot or whatever the specialty show is, that makes the playlist varied every time yet it still is on the theme. It increases the variety a lot! That was the only downside to the big 50th thing, I tend to listen at the same times daily and after hearing the same tracks every evening you get to memorizing the show exactly... That is where something like the requests would be neat
