Ones I like are:-
3 min tracks
Limit 2 10 tracks (possibly we could get say 3 big producers to sift through the entries)
And obviously a shuffle on the player (should have been done time ago).
We shouldn't b scared 2 change things about, keeps things fresh and we'll
be goin on a trail an error basis. If it dont work then sack it.
good ideas.

What would a shuffler be good for but make the listener confused? The reason its in numerical order is so people can remember what one liked the most

re: What good is shuffle?
Point made earlier about this:
"Further, with this many submissions, people who happen to appear on a certain number in the playlist are fucked before anyone even hears it. Number 1 out of 19 is screwed because people will instinctively say "Oh, it's alright... but I can't vote for #1, that's too obvious." Similarly for #19 (and 18, 17, 16 right on through to 12 or 13 probably) - by the time they get through that many versions of the tune they're probably just ready for a nap or worse, to stop listening to any Dubstep until their ears have recovered! "
Although the bit about # being fucked is wrong in light of the last results.
But-
Nonetheless, I don't need a static track order to figure out which one I like or not - the tunes & artists have names, even if they're rudimentary ones like "DSF8 by Dubby McDubdub" or whatever. It might be less important if the number of submissions was limited; when the number of tunes to go through starts approaching a couple dozen, I think it becomes a must.
Can't say I'm in favor of a de facto limit on the number of submissions though, which is why the playoff thing is appealing... everyone gets a chance to enter that wants to.
