No I'm not saying that you request a song and have to wait 48 hours. Rather, SAM won't let you request a song that has been recently played. Let me explain.

I'm saying that, for example, Yes can play at 12p, 2p, 4p, and 6p. Hypothetically, Roundabout could play all four times. Say someone requests it at 9a, someone else at 9:15a, and someone else at 10a. No other Yes requests are made that day. Roundabout would play at 12p, then 2p, and then 4p. Now of course the dj would stop this. But, theoretically, it could happen. For example, Mister Ten Percent played and then six hours later played again.

What I'm suggesting is that if KW requests Roundabout at 9a and I request Roundabout at 9:15, I'd get a message saying something like, "Request failed. Song already requested." Or, consider this. We've all probably requested a song and gotten this message: "Request failed. Artist recently played." What if Roundabout played, I logged on after it had cleared the Currently Playing window, I then request Roundabout, and enough time had passed so that I didn't get the recently played message? We're hearing Roundabout again pretty soon. What I'm saying is that instead I'd get a message: "Request failed. Song recently played."

The time limit between the same artist should be 2 hours, true. The time limit between the same song should be much longer. If Roundabout played, SAM should keep Roundabout from being requested, just not other Yes songs. Again, the two Triumvirat songs played "back-to-back" we're both Mister Ten Percent. It should have been Mister Ten Percent and some other Triumvirant song.

Making the world a richer place, two cents at a time...
