I try to rate albums when I have heard enough.

Great to see this thread is still going, and from the looks of things peeps are rating. I've been away for sometime now (work blocked streaming). Great to listen again.  I love this station.

Since we can't change ratings once we cast our votes, I'm also taking my time, particularly with the compilation albums. I keep notes by my computer as I'm listening.
My system is:
5 = love every track!
4 = great stuff, will likely req from it regularly
3 = probably won't req from it, but don't mind hearing it
2 = I will hit the mute button if I notice it's playing
1 = I will hit the mute button + scowl  |
I use the same system as greentea
and also as most of you *looks at nate, wrabbbit, Dufresne and people who listen and rate but didn't botherd to write here  * I rate the album only when I'm sure that I've heard enough.
That's why I request 4 or 5 songs from one album when I've got time to focus on it. |

Sorry to dig up this thread, but I have a ratings related question.
What kind of playlist rotation logic is SAM using. Is it a normal clockwheel, or is there logic that bases its selections on people's ratings?
e.g. the higher rated albums get more of a chance of random selection.
I realize a lot of SAM users rate songs vs. albums but I'd think it woudl still be possible. |

SAM picks from a 5 part clockwheel.
1. Least Randomly Played Song (NUT)
2. Lemming Logic
3. Least Randomly Played Artist
4. Random
5. Weighted (popular song)
