Overrequesting?

[Roger -Dot- Lee(Admin)]

OK, perhaps it's time to repost the SAM request rules.

Person-based rule:
Each person (as restricted and identified by IP address) can request up to 10 times per day. Each request must be seperated by 60 minutes.

Album-based rule:
No two tracks from the same album can be played in the same hour. In other words, if a different song off of the same album has played within the same hour, the request will be denied.

Artist based rule:
No two songs from the same artist will be played within the same 120 minute (two hour) time frame.

Title based rule:
No two songs with the same title will be played within the same 480 minute (8 hour) time frame.

The same track will not be played twice within the same 24 hour period.

Examples:

You want to request "Time and A Word" by Yes.

If another track off of any other Yes album has played in the last hour, it will be denied.

If another track off of Time And A Word has played in the last TWO hours, it will be denied.

If another track by the name "Time And A Word" (say, off of Yes, Live at the Hollywood Bowl (if there were such a beastie) played in the last 8 hours, it would be denied.

The same track will only play once per 2880 minutes (24 hours).

Note: these apply to requested as well as SAM chosen songs or songs that are part of a show (provided the show isn't a single pre-recorded file (such as Fusion Reaction, Rickter Scale, etc., and unlike The Gagliarchives, etc)).

Hope that clears up some confusion. And it looks like RQs are working just fine thanks!

Roger -Dot- Lee, no reason to change...

Hello all. Quick clarification request. Does this mean that, for example, two tracks by DIFFERENT ARTISTS that have same name will get denied? For example: "Providence" by King Crimson and Godspeed. "Real Love" by Yes and the Beatles (hypothetically). "Lost for Words" by Pink Floyd and Steve Howe.

Steve Howe's "Lost for Words" plays at noon. I want to request Pink Floyd's "Lost for Words" at 2 pm. No go?

PS, Yes I know it's been a long time.

Only the Godspeed would be denied.

Not so long as to forget that!

To answer your question, it would not be denied, as the 'same title' refers to the 'same title by the same artist'.

So if, for example, The Elbertson Quintette's version of "Llama's Conquer All" will not preclude the playing of Gwendolyn St. Margarine's hit swingle(*) of the same name.

So you should be cool.

(*) Note: I did see the typo, but damn it I liked it better this way. So there.

Roger -Dot- Lee, still spelling The City of Brotherly Love as Philadelpia for much the same reason.

I'm going to be laughing about that one for a month.

My dear friends, I want to say something...I don´t know the rules either, in my oppinion it´s nice this way.

For me, I think that we can know such good things on wednesday, I mean "new musics" who almost never have been heared. And there´s a lot of good works hidden in the moon library!

For example: Birdsongs of the Mesozoic... I actually don´t remember when I listened coming from someones request - that were all from the randomly radio setlist.
About limit the requests, I don´t have some specific oppinion, but I don´t like the same artist or the same song being played like before, like that "Flower Kings" song.
No ofenses, of course.

Got some Birdsongs on the upcoming episode of The Fusion Reactor! You'll have to catch it, they're a most interesting band.

Preach it Brother Jim! Preach it Long and Loud!

I've been a HUGE fan of RFW since its inception. I see no reason now, or in the future, to change this happy state of affairs.

Subject to change without notice. Your mileage may vary. Not marked for individual retail sale. Stunt driver on a closed track. Do not try this at home.

Indeed. I got a chance to sample the latest BSotM when they donated a copy for the station for auction. Very intriguing stuff, I might say...

Roger -Dot- Lee, playing catchup. Again.
