Ok, I think you are sure about your actions, but I need to do some asks, as an Auralmoon listener, and I am one of the many who have asked flower Kings and other groups.

I have to think about the coincidence on 12000 titles some being more "popular" then others. Ok, this is progressive rock, but when people like a band, may be become more played then others.

Now, what I have to comment, is about an automation I always have found usefull in the Request page: If the artist was recent played, just is not allowed.
So, may be is possible to extend this capabilitie to control artist/music resquested for a greater period, like a week?

See, I donīt use to ask the same music, but can be I am requesting the same artist because I donīt know itīs works or I am trying to know something more.

Also, with 12000 title, I donīt know most of then. Auralmoon is my favorite radio, I live in a place where a progressive CD start a Us$ 30-50-100 (!!!)... (ok. excuses), but makes dificult to know what happened for the last decade.
Most of bands from the 90īs playing at Auralmoon are unknow to me.

Also, what I use more, is to request musics from bands I never knew before, and music I donīt know.
And as a progressive music fan, usually I choose music by lenght. Yes, I love to listen 15-20 minute music. This tell me if the band have gas to do the job, then I will listen more of that.

The software may control that: "Gilberto have asked for three 18 minute music this week, then only aloow lesser music". I am kidding but is ok to me.

As I expect you may have a log of requests, you can verify this, or better, at least the time length I use to choose.

So, what I can sugest, is not to removing that great bands. I have listened a lot of Renaissence more than a Pop radio and it still is playing. So why Flower Kings?

I know there are technical aspects on programing the system, but is an idea, I hope it be usefull.
