If the thing is completely random then it stands to reason we would not see the same songs come up so many times and other songs not at all.
If the programming is as sophisticated as you say it is then I would think it a simple matter to prevent any song coming up more than once in any persons judging session.
I judged for 2 1/2 hours straight on one channel and saw the same songs coming up 8 or 10 times at least. Other songs not at all.
I have been watching the Southern Rock Channel for three days.
The songs in the last 5 positions have not moved yet there have been 45 new songs added. that means those song are being inserted at a higher rank than those last 5 songs.
If the new songs are being inserted in the first page or two a lot of people will see them.
Who goes to the bottom of the pile to listen to songs? Not very many people I suspect.
I find it hard to believe those last 5 songs have never had a positive vote. They might not be the best songs ever but they are a hell of a lot better than some I have heard that are ranked significantly higher.

One suggestion that songs that were "better" would get more voting opportunities is ridiculous. "better" in whose ears... Maybe today a bunch of folks would be voting that really like the song but never get a chance to vote for it because it never comes up?

I still like the site. I think it a good tool. But these problems need sorted out before people get turned off by it.
