Suggestion regarding Request Wait and System/Admin tracks

Hi all,

I noticed that Sysem/Admin developed much better taste in music . Now it plays what we really like to request quite often. Nice.

BUT... I was wondering... If queue consist of 23-25 tracks and 20 or all of them are provided by System/Admin, wouldn't be better to change request wait time to, lets say 20 minutes?

I often listen to and am present on SST site during weekends and queue usually looks like System/Admin rules. I assume this is some kind of AI doing, so that's why I ask: in a case of System/Admin occupying more than 80% of the queue can you change request wait to 20 minutes?

Best,
Choli

I totally understand your question. I am not really in favour of this rule. I like to have some kind of gap in request times between VIP and non-VIP members. And I think 20 minutes is a bit too much.

Luckily SAM is playing way better tracks to fill up the gaps.

Yeah, I understand. Shame that two VIPs from the same IP address cannot work. I have three listeners here and there is only sense for one to have a VIP.

What? It's not relevant to me personally, but isn't one of the selling points for VIP membership 'unshared requests'?

I don't understand what you mean by "unshared requests".

it means that if you have one vip in an ip adress, it means that the times of any non-vips get cut by the vip activity. But if you have 2 vips, then their requesting does not interfere with eachother.

I believe this was introduced to stop people from creating 10 accounts and requesting from each of them.

Ah, so two VIPs do not interfere? GOOD TO KNOW! Smile

Thanks for the info!
