A voting system for a possible DMusic awards section?

ChillinBuzz	Date: September 13, 2002 @ 10:16 AM How about it, DMusic awards? Voted by the members (and I'll have to say that anonymous posting shouldnt be allowed for obvious reasons) possibly every genre gets a winner, runner-up, etc. Newcomers awards. Ah what the hell, let's just take MTV's idea and give it a real life!

It would certainly increase member-member interaction and get the ball rolling again. I like the idea. Now the trouble is finding someone to organize it! Any takers? (I'm sure we can find someone).
ChillinBuzz	Date: September 15, 2002 @ 5:53 PM It would be nice to have an awards section sometime
Cryxan	Date: September 15, 2002 @ 6:04 PM Maybe it could be set up like a poll. See all the artists, and you select three and vote. With a comments section, of course. Then again, we can't really pick the best of a genre until we see all the artists. There are still tons of artists here that aren't on the charts... I'd still like to see a page where ALL artists show up, and can be sorted by different criteria. Whether they interact or not, it would give them more exposure. Why bother hosting music if no one can get to it?
ChillinBuzz	Date: September 15, 2002 @ 6:46 PM Imagine the hip-hop poll, that would be quite a big page! If we could see all the artists, listen to their featured track and then 'judge' them by placing a vote (polls or otherwise) that would be cool. Then after a set time, the votes could be totalled up and an article with the results. To be expanded later
Coffine	Date: September 15, 2002 @ 7:26 PM the charts should be converted into a top 40 chart. do away with the bin shit. One song by each artist should be a pick that way there is enough room for everyone. What if one artist is a DM pick and he or she has 50 tracks? I noticed that not just one song is a pick but all of em? wasting space. Im a DM pick and dont know how. I saw all my tracks which is really dumb. Now I see why there is no room on the charts for other artists. Voting on the hundreds of artists would take months. Then how would you setup the voting page? and the results? very time consuming.
Coffine	Date: September 15, 2002 @ 7:29 PM the hip/hop section is a total mess! How would anyone want to take the time to wade through all those picks and vote on the ones they like? that would be a total nightmare.
ChillinBuzz	Date: September 15, 2002 @ 7:30 PM Time consuming, yes. Thats one of the biggest problems. The charts cant hold enough tunes but I think you're right, one song by the artist in a chart would allow everyone a better shot at the charts but I seem to recall the real charts being dominated by the Beatles and they had several hits in the top 100. I think if we could see all of the artists, this 'chart domination' effect probably wouldnt happen so much here to begin with.
Coffine	Date: September 15, 2002 @ 7:49 PM Everything would be time consuming here. personally I really dont care if Im up there or not just seems like a waste of space. They need a suggestionbox here
Coffine	Date: September 15, 2002 @ 7:50 PM i would love to see a full list of all the active artists that would be so cool. then you would get to know who's who a lot quicker like a list rundown or directory.
Cryxan	Date: September 15, 2002 @ 8:08 PM So when an artist becomes a Pick, all their songs become Picks? I always wondered about that. No that doesn't make sense at all. Everybody has at least one crappy song. Besides, once people find an artist they like in the Picks, it's easy enough to go to their artist page and listen to the rest of their music.
ChillinBuzz	Date: September 15, 2002 @ 8:26 PM Totally agree. Maybe the charts will be more varied and more competitive if the artist showed up only once but I feel a problem there would be that there would eventually be more artists than slots and without those directory pages we'd be back to square one.
Cryxan	Date: September 15, 2002 @ 8:44 PM I think it's fine for an artist to have two or more songs in the Picks, as long as each of those songs individually deserves to be there. Likewise, there will be artists with no songs in the Picks, but if they aren't there, they should be in the Bin. (Which they were going to rename, as we spent so much time talking about it... back in June.) Maybe if we could view, say, 50 songs per page, and the charts went beyond 127, it would be less of an issue.
Coffine	Date: September 15, 2002 @ 8:54 PM the number one hip/hop song leaves a lot to be desired. im wondering just how these DM picks actually work? some of those songs shouldnt be in there, for hip/hop anyway. I agree with ya on that.
Coffine	Date: September 15, 2002 @ 8:54 PM song picks should be by popular demand.

ChillinBuzz	Date: September 16, 2002 @ 9:49 AM deja vu indeed but we must keep at it
wallyadimeck	Date: September 17, 2002 @ 12:20 AM Bring on the Live Webcam Coverage, with and awards ceremony not disimilar to the ORIGINAL set of Wayne's World! In reckon it'd rock! We can all dial in with out video stream proggies, and watch and listen and interactively vote as the awards go along. That way, no one will have a CLUE they have won until it actually happens. WE COULD CALL EM the ONLINE DIGITAL MUSIC AWARDS - the ODMA's or.... the DIGITAL AWARDS FOR ONLINE MUSIC ... the DAMO's
