No, I don't want to see just the dino's, just abetter balance with the giants weighted for more airplay than the smaller bands. As an owner of thousands of recordings and a record dealer in the 80's, I am suprised when 6 bands are listed and none well known. Not a selling point for more listening.

Nah. The point of internet radio is to EXPOSE the lesser knowns so that they become "not-lesser" knowns.
But sharc brings up a good point on the payola idea, and that is knowing when the rq plays. Nothing would stink worse than paying for a request and then a replay of Gags or Gnosis comes on and by the time it plays you're sitting at a red light in Malfunction Junction on the way home. Scratch the payola.
What about another pay feed, say 96k for $25? Or, since there are so few $50 members, would lowering that bring in more money by volume? Do I have a freaking clue what I'm talking about? Does this have anything to do with the "busy-signal?" Is there tea in China?
