Hi all:

Well here's the "dealio". Yes, we changed the channel rules for May. Now limiting to 1 song per artist per channel. Tens of thousands of items had to be reviewed (Brian I know that's light for you!). We ran the scripts, moved stuff around, and we're now cleaning up the last remnants of the Singer Songwriter channel to ensure males are with males and females are with females. All said, there was a LOT of logic in the scripting process to:

1. Pick which song we'd leave and which we'd remove
2. Move the thousands of items we reclassified as better fit for our newer channels
3. Email everyone with what changes were made to their media
4. Log it all
5. Scramble a bit when we had an issue with the singer songwriter channel moves (it was removing even if artists only had 1 cut in the channel)

So that's the story. Because we did all on a "live site" any misstep was highly visible. The good news is that by mid-day all should be back to normal, you can continue doing what you're doing. Feel free to reach out to me via my profile:
