That's intriguing (especially considering I usually listen overnight when there are few people requesting ), but in order for that to work, they'd have to eliminate the 3-day wait for songs to be able to be requested again, I think. If you could request for free, or for a discount, I think a lot of tracks would be constantly 'used up' overnight (I could be wrong - but it seems like the limits help to control that kinda thing to keep the distribution more even). I don't know the ins and outs of it, but that seems like it'd be a pain in the rear to code.
Also the limits encourage us to post in the forums and ramble about all things Disney!

There are pro's and con's to both sides of the argument although I do find it irritating as I listen during the day (in the UK) and seem to use up all my points very quickly.. But I do think that the re-use cycle should stay as I think it does prevent people from using the same track over and over again!

I don't know how to work this out, but I agree I usually listen in the evening or late at night. I use up all my points and then it plays random with no body requesting. Maybe a list of songs to pick from that are just for times when listener requests are low and if you want to request you can choose.

Yeah, I think that's a good idea too. If there are no requests in the queue, then you could request without using points. But only if there are no requests in the queue.I don't know how to work this out, but I agree I usually listen in the evening or late at night.

Overall, I think the points system is great.
Hehe, so you request one and then that makes a request in the queue which means you have to wait for it to play before you can request again? In fact, you would have to wait for 3 songs to play because there's always two in the queue. It wouldn't quite work too well.

Running a "jukebox" type system makes it very difficult to please everybody. We've had to add restrictions and such to try and make things more even. To try and alleviate woes, some admins in the chat can help sooth the pain by playing requests immediately for you guys if you ask.
