Re: Over 20 minutes song

Just to add to the dry heave quotient, maybe rather than a time quota, but a delay in when you can request again depending on accumulated length of requests over the past, I dunno, week? In fact, you could add that track length to the - what is it? - initial hour waiting time. And subtract a minute for every hour since the request was made, down to a minimum of one hour.
Are we all gagging now? :-)

That way, the odd long track can come in, but will result in that person not being able to request another for a while.

Agree with Rick a bit. Having a restriction on what tracks can be requested makes one wonder why have the tracks in the library in the first place?

Similar to my old idea of having the wait time be related to the song time. Less than 10 minutes = Two hours. 10 to 20 minutes = Three Hours. Longer than 20 = Four hours.
