How to be #1 at DMusic! Break the Rules!

Jazzmary2U	Date: August 12, 2005 @ 8:21 AM 1. I explored dmusic with a "fresh eye.." going to the home page, then the music page. On that page I see the top 20.. now if I was a newbie to the site, I would think that one hip-hop artist ruled dmusic.. so I go and listen to the music.. then I go to the page where over FIFTY songs are loaded, even tho the artist is listed as a non-subscriber. 2. I notice that the there is, with a couple of exceptions, one or two comments on many of the songs. Hmmmm.. the exit polls don't match up. 3. I think the featured artist and the list on the front pages are cool for newbies to sample dmusic artists, but how about listing the top three songs in each musical genre, with a link to each category, instead of the top 20 songs of the whole site, so one artist does not dominate. That way the true breadth of variety of dmusic and be accessed by newbies much faster.

CobaltBlue	Date: August 12, 2005 @ 8:51 AM It seems that certain users may be 'cheating' to the top of the list by constantly streaming or having others constantly stream their own music. Each time the song reloads, bam, one more hit more the song. Unfortuantely, it seems that these users don't even bother to interact with the community. Semms a tad unfair, no? Perhaps there could be something that blocks registering multiple hits from the same IP to prevent bumping up the tracks in that manner.
Alecs	Date: August 12, 2005 @ 8:52 AM If you look, there is a top 20 for each genre (Hip Hop, Rock, Metal, etc) and then ANOTHER top 20 for each "sub-genre" (Rock, Grunge Rock, Hard Rock etc)

Jazzmary2U	Date: August 12, 2005 @ 11:14 AM DhoomsPic.. do you think that newbies to the site and casual surfers go that deep into dmusic? Cool if they do, but why a top 20 listens for the whole site on the music front page that can easily be spammed.. is all I'm askin..
rhthesinner	Date: August 12, 2005 @ 11:18 AM As far as I know multiple hits from the same IP aren't counted. I'm sure somebody will be along to correct me shortly if I'm wrong TTFN.
Snoogans775	Date: August 12, 2005 @ 2:22 PM what a dissapointment, and all the times I've listened to that train song by dkeifer, and he never got any credibility for it.
