Why does it seem like more than half the non-requested tracks are from DLP? Am I crazy here?

I'm assuming it's because they are new.

Do you have some kind of autoselect algorithm that bases its choices on the number of times a given track has been played? Because that would certainly explain it...

I think there probably is. I seem to recall that the first couple of days when the tracks were added was nothing but Disneyland Resort Paris tracks. Not that I was complaining, having spent the previous few days sorting them all out

Yeah - I have watched it when new tracks are added and it seems the tracks with the fewest times played get randomly picked first. Like when the 50 Years tracks were added to the general list all one heard for a while was that stuff until they all get played enough [whatever that is] and the more random selection came back.

The least frequently played tracks get played first.

So is that why there is loads of pal mickeys?

No, for variety I also have 30 second or less tracks put in every 3rd and 5th song. Only when there's no requests. But those are mostly pal mickey.

Lame? Hmmm. I usually request a few. They crack me up.

Some crack me up too, but some are just not funny.

I dunno... I don't think of any of them as "not funny"... it's like, they're either cute, or corny, or funny...

With those choices, it will have to be corny. Hope this helps

Hehe, well, I meant that some are cute, some are corny, and some are funny... but most aren't more than any one of those things... know what I mean?
