I think we manage very well with the system as it is now.
That said, as we have over 11,000 songs to choose from, if the song we request isn't available, we can move on to another.
At first I thought 24 hours was excessive, upon further thought it's not TOO bad. However, the poor sod coming in for the first time wanting the song might like to know he's not going to get it for another 24 hours.
If asked to vote on this with the choice of the two variables, I'd say 24 hours is somewhat ok, but 36 is excessive.
I would rather leave it all alone though...the request system works well in my opinion, and I tolerate the songs I don't like, knowing it's a democratic system.
Knowing the stats on just how often the same song is played in a 24 hour period would help. Off the top of my head and during my listening hours, it doesn't seem as if it's that big of an issue.
