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)
