When searching for an artist or song and nothing comes up, remember: This thing searches thru the file names, which are usually in the form (Artist_Name)-Album_Title-Track-Song_Name.mp3 . This means if you want something like "The Counting Crows", try typing Counting_Crows or Counting or something else instead. You should also try formats like ArtistNameWords, SongNameWords or Artist Name Words, etc.... Maybe just search for one word and make your life simple?
When you click "VOTE" on the results screen, your vote will be cast regardless of whether you're returned to the same screen or a new one.
A vote of -1 means the song won't be queued no matter what. The lowest any vote can go is -1, and a positive vote will increment it till you've incremented too much for my taste.
You can only vote for the same song twice in any eight hour period. This prevents people with too much time on their hands from winning all the time.
"I voted. Now where's my song?"
Be patient. This is how it picks songs:
The player software selects 1 song at a time.
When a RANDOM song is selected, it is at random from the whole database.
When the BEST song is selected, the songs with the highest votes since last will be considered in the order by which they were voted.
When the BEST_EVER is played, a song will be selected at random from the 20 songs with the highest total votes.
When the WORST song is selected, a song is selected at random from 100 songs with the lowest votes since last played.
When the WORST_EVER song is selected, a song is selected at random from 100 songs with the lowest total votes.
When the LONGEST_VOTED song is selected, it is randomly from the 100 songs for which votes were cast the largest amount of time before now.
When the LONGEST_PLAYED song is selected, it is the song that hasn't been played in the longest time.
There will be no repeats within any 4 hour period, regardless of the above.
Songs with a -1 vote will NEVER be played.. muhahahaahahah
