Rankings and "do NOT play" suggestions

I'm also thinking of how you run your playlists. Do you have some sort of counter that cycles some of the songs or otherwise keeps track of air frequency? For instance, last month I heard Kraftwerk's "Autobahn" for the first time in about thirty years. Wow. That was an odd throwback. And while it is a repetitive tune, I listened through it...for old time's sake. Then I heard it again two days later. (I think I'd enjoy hearing it again in thirty years.)

Point is: There are (how many?) a LOT of tunes in your archives. Do you have mechanism for cycling a recently played tune to the bottom of the list (unless it is requested, recently released and hence probably more "timely", or a listener/program director favorite)?

the playlist plays through all the songs in the playlist in an essentially random order, but will play every song before repeating, unless 1)a request comes through or 2) one of us (Avian or myself) manually cues up a tune. For technical reasons I have not done so for months. So, if a tune is repeated, you can be pretty sure someone or someones are requesting it.
