A simple idea. Almost impossible to implement reliably, unfortunately.

But then he posts THIS GEM!

Then, instead of blocking the request, the system just returns a "Normal" request accepted, but, what will happens, is this is turned into a random request for lesser played music.

This way, over request will help us to know more music

Ya know, of all the ideas, I think I like this one the best.

And we can expand on it as well. If I could ever get ahold of Unter1337, since this bit of coding would be well beyond my meager programming capabilities, I'd see if he could code up a button that reads "feeling adventurous? This would be a random request. We could give it higher priority, let the listener know what they've recorded, and either make it a freebie, give them an extra of what they want during a given time period, etc. etc. Some sort of carrot on a stick to get people to try it. Maybe give a certain number of points, and enough random picks over a certain period of time would give them access to the 128k stream for a while or something.

Embryonic ideas, but ideas nonetheless. Good only until the end of October sort of thing. One random request per hour, etc. etc.

The more I think of it, the more I like it.
